Yom Kippur begins on October 1st in 2025, but what is it all about?

Covering. God’s covering for us.

At the beginning of history, Adam hid, which was silly if you think about it.

Adam knew that God created the world, and God created his heart and his mind and none of that could be hidden behind a tree trunk. The first and worst betrayal in human history could not be covered by a fig leaf.

Still Adam attempted it, which shows that the great wisdom and insight he’d been gifted had already dimmed.

Adam hid, and it failed. But God covered, and covering is very, very different from hiding.

This episode digs deeper into “yom kippurim” (י֤וֹם כִּפֻּרִים֙ meaning ‘day of atonement’) in Leviticus 23:28.

Leviticus 23:28 - “Do not do any work on that day, because it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.” (NIV)
