YOM KIPPUR
Matthew 16: 16,17, 18
And Simon Peter answered and said, "Thou art the Christ the Son of the Living GOD". And JESUS answered and said unto him, "Blessed art thou Simon Bar-jona; for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father, who is in heaven". And I say also unto thee, "That thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it".
"Silence in heaven, silence on earth, silence within. Thy touch, O Lord, covers the din". All over the World, where the Children of Israel gather to honor GOD in this Holy Day of Yom Kippur, there is silence. Everything comes to halt as this day begins. Work stops, noise stops, streets are empty and the only sound is the breath of GOD blowing across the Universe. "Silence in Heaven, Silence on earth, Silence within." SABBATH
At the Name of JESUS we are awed into silence as we bow before His glorious presence. He is the Rock upon which the Church is built and the "gates of hell shall not prevail against Him". There are no words, or work, or sound that will be enough to express thanksgiving for our life, as we contemplate the Truth -
JESUS CHRIST IS LORD.
The silence is very pregnant, thick with praise, prayer and thanksgiving. We SEE now, and we say in our heart:
THOU ART THE CHRIST THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD
HOLY IS THE NAME OF JESUS
