Atonement—what does it truly mean? This insightful exploration traces the history of Atonement from God’s instructions to Moses in Leviticus 16 through the sacrificial practices in the Tabernacle and the First Temple built by Solomon. It examines what happened after the Babylonian destruction of the First Temple, its rebuilding following Cyrus the Great’s edict, and the validity of the offerings made throughout these sacred periods.

The narrative expands to the Covenant relationship between God and His Jewish people, showing how it was extended to the Gentiles through the story of Cornelius, the Roman centurion, and the Apostle Peter. The Apostle Paul’s ministry of reconciliation and Atonement is also explored, shedding light on its significance for the early Church.

A call for restoration resounds—urging the Church to return to the authority of God’s Word. The 19th- and 20th-century movements that sought revival but failed to grasp the everlasting nature of God’s Covenant with Israel are critically examined. Finally, the prophecy of Hosea, as translated in the Jewish Study Bible, reveals the unfolding restoration of Israel and the Jewish people, bringing this compelling study to its powerful conclusion.

A thought-provoking and deeply researched journey through history, scripture, and prophecy, this book challenges readers to rediscover the true meaning of Atonement and God’s unchanging promises.
