Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Judgement, was fulfilled when Jesus was presented in the Temple, while the nation of Israel, including Simeon, a righteous and devout man, and Anna the Prophetess waited patiently for the Consolation of Israel, a red string tied to the door of the Temple, to turn white, after the scapegoat used in the Yom Kippur ceremony and led into the Wilderness finally died. Though this ceremony began with High Priest Simeon the Righteous, the red string as a symbol of protection was seen in Scripture from the birth of Patriarch Judah and his daughter-in-law Tamar’s twin sons, the red rope used by Tamar the harlot to help the spies in Jericho escape, and the leprosy cleansing ceremony.  Though the High Priest, while only wearing a linen ephod, usually killed a the sacrificial animal behind the veil, within the Holy of Holies, Christ served as the final Yom Kippur sacrifice, rescuing us and carrying the burden of our sins forever.
