How are Passover and Yom Kippur different?
Passover and Atonement, or Yom Kippur, are two totally different Feast Days. Passover occurs in the Spring, associated with the Spring Equinox, while Yom Kippur is in the Fall. Passover relates to protection by the blood of the Lamb, and Christ is our Passover.
Les teaches that Passover and Atonement are two totally different Feast Days. Passover was in the Spring of the year, associated with the Spring Equinox, and it began with Israel's deliverance from Egypt. In the final plague, Egypt lost all its firstborn, but Israel had an out by faith: if they put the blood of the Passover lamb on the doorposts and stayed within the safety of their home, the death angel would pass over. This is what the Jews still celebrate today in the Spring as Passover. Atonement, or Yom Kippur as it is called today, is in the Fall of the year. Christ is our Passover, but Les also says he will later draw out the analogy of Christ's work of Atonement during the period from noon until three in the afternoon. For now, the focus is the Passover aspect: the protection given by the blood of the Lamb.
