Approaching Yom Kippur
GOD began speaking to me at the beginning of September about YOM KIPPUR — but more specifically He became more detailed in pointing things out to me on Wednesday, September 13, 2023.
God started with pointing out there are seventeen (17) days left this month, and a whole lot that is planned to happen on both sides (good vs evil) by mankind.
GOD is in all of this, but people don’t always know or recognize it, and may attribute what GOD has done or allowed to other things.
GOD is judging A LOT at this time, due largely to the increased corruption in the nations. Literally, we are in many ways living in the times of Noah or Sodom and Gomorrah. Is it any wonder there are fires, floods, earthquakes, and more?
He reminded me, there are consequences and rewards for all that is done, good and bad.
Yom Kippur is the time when He makes a yearly judgment on His BELOVEDS, or for all your sins the previous year.
So prior to that time is an excellent time to fast and pray that He will make your sins known to you, so you can repent and He can forgive you, so you enter His new year with a clean slate.
It’s our repentance and HIS LOVE that brings HIS MERCY and GRACE into action and at times causes Him to change His mind, as with Jonah and Nineveh.
“So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh according to the Word of The LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city of 3 days’ journey [60 miles in circumference].
Jonah began to enter into the city a day’s journey, and he cried, Yet 40 days and Nineveh shall be overthrown!
So the people of Nineveh believed in God and proclaimed a fast and put on sackcloth [in penitent mourning], from the greatest of them even to the least of them.
For word came to the king of Nineveh [of all that had happened to Jonah, and his terrifying message from God], and he arose from his throne and he laid his robe aside, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
He made proclamation and published through Nineveh, By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed nor drink water.
But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth and let them cry mightily to GOD. Yes, let every 1 turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
Who can tell, God may turn and revoke His sentence against us [when we have met His terms], and turn away from His fierce anger so that we perish not.
God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God revoked His [sentence of] evil that He had said that He would do to them and He did not do it [for He was comforted and eased concerning them].” Jonah 3:3-10.
Then He began speaking, “But there are nations who have worshiped idols and other gods for centuries — and still do — through statues, temples, and others dedicated to pagan gods and used as tourist attractions.
They are used as antiquities or economic increase for the Nation. There are even those now who come to honor and worship the pagan gods of old.
So what other excuses do you have to let the statues and temples of pagan gods remain?
Do you not recall the times I had every person, all their animals, and everything destroyed because they worshiped another GOD, or I took away their kingdom?”
“Moses turned and went down from the mountain with the 2 tables of the Testimony in his hand, tables or tablets that were written on both sides.
The tables were the work of God; the writing was the writing of God, graven upon the tables.
When Joshua heard the noise of the people as they shouted, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the camp.
But Moses said, It is not the sound of shouting for victory, neither is it the sound of the cry of the defeated, but the sound of singing that I hear.
As soon as he came near to the camp he saw the calf and the dancing. Moses’ anger blazed hot and he cast the tables out of his hands and broke them at thefoot of the mountain.
He took the calf they had made and burned it in the fire, and ground it to powder and scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.
Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you, that you have brought so great a sin upon them?
Aaron said, Let not the anger of my lord blaze hot; you know the people, that they are set on evil.
For they said to me, Make us gods which shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.
I said to them, Those who have any gold, let them take it off. So they gave it to me; then I cast it into the fire, and there came out this calf.
When Moses saw that the people were unruly and unrestrained (for Aaron had let them get out of control, so that they were a derision and object of shame among their enemies), then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is on The LORD’s side, let him come to me. All the Levites [the priestly tribe] gathered together to him.
He said to them, Thus says The LORD God of Israel, Every man put his sword on his side and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the camp and slay every man his brother, and every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.
The sons of Levi did according to the word of Moses; and there fell of the people that day about 3000 men. [This isn’t counting women and children.]
Moses said [to the Levites, By your obedience to God’s command] you have consecrated yourselves today [as priests] to The LORD, each man [at the cost of being] against his own son and his own brother, that The LORD may restore and bestow His blessing upon you this day.” Exodus 32:15-29
“But King Solomon [defiantly] loved many foreign women — the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites.
They were of the very nations of whom The LORD said to the Israelites, You shall not mingle with them, neither shall they mingle with you, for surely they will turn away your hearts after their gods. Yet Solomon clung to these in love.
He had 700 wives, princesses, and 300 concubines, and his wives turned away his heart from God.
For when Solomon was old, his wives turned away his heart after other gods, and his heart was not perfect (complete and whole) with The LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abominable idol of the Ammonites!
Solomon did evil in the sight of The LORD, and went not fully after The LORD, as David his father did.
Then Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abominable idol of Moab, on the hill opposite Jerusalem, and for Molech the abominable idol of the Ammonites.
He did so for all of his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.
The LORD was angry with Solomon because his heart was turned from The LORD, the God of Israel, Who had appeared to him twice, and had commanded him concerning this thing, that he should not go after other gods, but he did not do what The LORD commanded.
Therefore The LORD said to Solomon, because you are doing this and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely rend the kingdom from you and will give it to your servant!
However, in your days I will not do it, for David your father’s sake. But I will rend it out of the hand of your son!
However, I will not tear away all the kingdom, but will give 1 tribe to your son for David, My servant’s sake, and for the sake of Jerusalem, which I have chosen.” 1 Kings 11:1-13
“There are times when I use the enemy to destroy his own idols or that of another nation in his pride and lust for war.”
“Do you not see and recognize who I AM and that I AM A JEALOUS GOD?
I will use whoever and whatever I choose to destroy that which mankind chooses over Me. Wake up and repent now, to lessen or stop My Anger.
I have mercy and grace, but not for those who don’t repent, and turn themselves to Me.
Solomon let his pride, lust, rebellion, and stubbornness get in the way of his relationship with Me. He thought because he was king he could do what he wanted and that he didn’t have to listen to Me and My rules.
Interestingly, many of you think like Solomon, that you are above Me, or god, in your higher-self, so you don’t have to have a relationship with Me, because you’ll just ask yourself, and you believe you know more than Me.
I’ve grieved for many. I’ve tried to win them back to Me.
There are those who are angry at Me, because they haven’t gotten their way with everything they wanted, like a spoiled child who was given everything by earthly parents.
For those with a relationship with Me, I give you what you need, but not always what you want, and always in My timing.”
“My God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need, according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19
“There are those who [generously] scatter abroad, and yet increase more; there are those who withhold more than is fitting or what is justly due, but it results only in want.” Proverbs 11:24
“For His divine power has bestowed upon us all things that [are requisite and suited] to life and godliness, through the [full personal] knowledge of Him Who called us by and to His own glory and excellence (virtue).” 2 Peter 1:3
“But you shall [earnestly] remember The LORD your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18
“Do not gather and heap up and store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal. But gather and heap up and store for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:19-21
“For the love of money is a root of all evils; it is through this craving that some have been led astray and have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves through with many acute [mental] pangs.” 1 Timothy 6:10
“When they don’t get what they want or in their timing, then that’s when the spoiled child comes out, to pout, throw a temper tantrum, or turn their back to Me and oftentimes open the door to witchcraft, which is what rebellion is, to oppose me or try to get back at Me, because they didn’t get what they wanted.
For surely the enemy will give them what they want, to bait and hook them!”
“Samuel said, Has The LORD as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of The LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as idolatry and teraphim (household good luck images). Because you have rejected the Word of The LORD, He also has rejected you from being king.” 1 Samuel 15: 22-23
“Do you not realize you are approaching Yom Kippur? (Sundown, 9/24 — Sundown, 9/25) The day, once a year, when I judge your sins from the past year?
Have you repented to Me of your sins, or shall I do with you as I do to others who refuse to repent?
Some of the most common sins now are rebellion, witchcraft, lies and deceit, perversion, lust, murder, stubbornness, using religion to hide things and to get your way, manipulation and control, allowing deaf and dumb to keep you from hearing Me (because you’re comfortable being ignorant or not knowing and not having to be accountable), pride, (that comes before you fall) anger, bitterness, unforgiveness (that often comes because of misunderstandings or not having My perception of things or people) and others.
Sin holds you back, and can stalemate you, or cause you to go backwards.
Ask Me to show you, or speak to you of your sins, so you can repent and be clean for the new year, so you can move forward into the new I have for you.”
“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says The LORD, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” Jeremiah 29:11
“But those who wait for The LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] shall change and renew their strength and power; they shall lift their wings and mount up [close to God] as eagles [mount up to the sun]; they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint or become tired.” Isaiah 40:31
“Do not [earnestly] remember the former things; neither consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know it and will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” Isaiah 43:18-19
“I will give them one heart [a new heart] and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take the stony [unnaturally hardened] heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh [sensitive and responsive to the touch of their God],” Ezekiel 11:19
“Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end would greatly increase.” Job 8:7
“Do not lie to one another, for you have stripped off the old (unregenerate) self with its evil practices, and have clothed yourselves with the new [spiritual self], which is [ever in the process of being] renewed and remolded into [fuller and more perfect knowledge upon] knowledge after the image (the likeness) of Him Who created it.” Colossians 3:9-10
“I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward.” Philippians 3:13-14
“Lean on, trust in, and be confident in The LORD with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6
“Therefore if any person is [ingrafted] in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old [previous moral and spiritual condition] has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“Strip yourselves of your former nature [put off and discard your old unrenewed self] which characterized your previous manner of life and becomes corrupt through lusts and desires that spring from delusion; be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], put on the new nature (the regenerate self) created in God’s image, [Godlike] in true righteousness and holiness.” Ephesians 4:22-24
God Bless You!

Dear Beverly,
You hit the nail on the head. In God – it all comes back to the issue of the heart. Contrite and broken is what the Lord requires. At Yom Kippur, and every day, Repentance and obedience is what the Lord accepts. Thank you.
Elizabeth,
Obedience is the greatest praise we can give the LORD, it shows everything about us, in that one act to the LORD. For us, it’s often times the hardest thing to do, because it goes against the rebellion that so many have within. To the LORD, YOM KIPPUR is soooo IMPORTANT & really pulls on His heart, as it gives us that one day a year to start over with a clean slate. Thank you so much for responding. BLESSINGS! Bev
Amen! Your powerful message from God made me alert more.
Today, I threw temper tantrums again because I came across some members of a secret evil group and they irritated me intentionally.
Nevertheless, I want to forgive and love them again for His Kingdom.
May God give me more love on them. Thanks♡
Hae Won Hong,
Great response to the enemy. He does all he can to cause us to not act / speak like we should. I know your forgiveness & love will be used by the LORD to help them change their hearts! Thank you so much for responding. GOD BLESS YOU! Bev
Thank you Bev for writing and being obedient. So many warnings here that don’t need to go unheeded! The Lord warns to wake us up. This really stood out, I believe the Lord spoke to you:
“Interestingly, many of you think like Solomon, that you are above Me, or god, in your higher-self, so you don’t have to have a relationship with Me, because you’ll just ask yourself, and you believe you know more than Me.”
Is that not making ourselves gods and taking Jesus Christ off the throne of our hearts? (Sad, but some have never gave Him access to rule and reign.)The idolatry is within us.
I pray to keep Jesus Christ on the throne and self out! God forgive us, cleanse us, keep our hearts and even our relationships pure in Jesus Name. Amen. I love you sis. ❤️
Joyce,
ALWAYS FAITHFUL & TRUE, BELOVED OF THE LORD. Once you found the path to Him, you never let Him go. He loves you so for that! Thank you so much for responding. You are dear to the LORD’S HEART & mine!
BLESSINGS! Bev
