Yom Kippur: The Day of Atonement

(Photo from Pexels)

The Jews call it 'Yom Kippur' or the 'Day of Atonement,' as do some Christians. The New Testament calls it 'the Fast' in Acts 27:9. Are Christians supposed to keep the Day of Atonement and fast on it? Why fasting? Do all have to fast? Does fasting have to do with avoiding all food and drink? Can caffeine withdrawals result in headaches? How do the Jews say to prepare to fast? Are there health and spiritual benefits associated with fasting? Was Jesus represented by the slain goat for the sin offering by the High Priest in Leviticus 16? Is Jesus our Atonement? Could the slaying of the Passover lamb and the Day of Atonement sin offering goat help picture the sacrifice of Jesus was for the elect (via the Passover) and the rest to be called after the Church Age (via the slaying of the Atonement goat)? What about Satan/Azazel and his role? Will Satan be bound for 1000 years? Did early Christians keep the Day of Atonement? Are there are any records to show that Christians have been keeping the Day of Atonement throughout the Church Age? Why do Christians fast, but we do not have animal sacrifices on the Day of Atonement? What does the Continuing Church of God officially teach about the Day of Atonement?
