Yom Kippur 12

Yom Kippur
Day Of Atonement

Isaiah 24:17-23
Panic, pit, and trap await you who dwell on the earth. Whoever flees at the sound of panic will fall into a pit, and whoever escapes from the pit will be caught in a trap. For the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth are shaken. The earth is completely devastated; the earth is split open; the earth is violently shaken. The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a hut. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again. On that day YHWH will punish the army of the heights in the heights and the kings of the ground on the ground. They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit. They will be confined to a dungeon; after many days they will be punished. The moon will be put to shame and the sun disgraced, because Adonai of Armies will reign as King on Mount Zion in Jerusalem, and He will display His glory in the presence of His elders.

Zephaniah 1:14-18
The great day of YHWH is near, near and rapidly approaching. Listen, the day of YHWH—then the warrior’s cry is bitter. That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of destruction and desolation, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and total darkness, a day of trumpet blast and battle cry against the fortified cities, and against the high corner towers. I will bring distress on mankind, and they will walk like the blind because they have sinned against YHWH. Their blood will be poured out like dust and their flesh like dung.Their silver and their gold will be unable to rescue them on the day of YHWH's wrath. The whole earth will be consumed by the fire of His jealousy, for he will make a complete, yes, a horrifying endof all the inhabitants of the earth.

Isaiah 13:9-13
Look, the day of YHWH is coming—cruel, with rage and burning anger—to make the earth a desolationand to destroy its sinners. Indeed, the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be dark when it rises, and the moon will not shine. I will punish the world for its evil, and wicked people for their iniquities. I will put an end to the pride of the arrogant and humiliate the insolence of tyrants. I will make a human more scarce than fine gold, and mankind more rare than the gold of Ophir. Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will shake from its foundations at the wrath of Adonai of Armies, on the day of His burning anger.

Amos 5:18-20
Woe to you who long for the day of YHWH! What will the day of YHWH be for you? It will be darkness and not light. It will be like a man who flees from a lion only to have a bear confront him. He goes home and rests his hand against the wall only to have a snake bite him. Won’t the day of YHWH be darkness rather than light, even gloom without any brightness in it?

Joel 1:13-15
Dress in sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar. Come and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, because grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God. Announce a sacred fast; proclaim an assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land at the house of YHWH your God, and cry out to YHWH. Woe because of that day! For the day of YHWH is near and will come as devastation from the Almighty.
