Title: A New Beginning 

Subject: Day Of Atonement
Summary: Martin Collins, reflecting on the rich imagery of the holy days, reiterates that it is impossible to understand God's master plan unless one understands the symbolism and imagery of the Holy Days. Atonement has special uniqueness as a solemn day of affliction, fasting and rest, bringing about humility (or humbling) as a state of mind. For the spiritual descendents of Jacob, absolutely no work is to be done on this day, upon penalty of being cut off. Atonement represents a new beginning when people of the world would be reconciled to God and freed from their bondage, reflecting the year of Jubilee. Fasting approved of God consists of breaking every bond and yoke, delighting in God's Holy Sabbath. Christ's sacrifice for the sins of humanity made it possible for the world to be made at one with God. As God's called-out ones, we must yield ourselves to God's sanctification process.
