Day 5 – A Holy Call to Prepare
Thank you for joining me for these 10 Days of Awe — the holiest days on God’s calendar. I trust these devotional teachings have stirred your heart and drawn you closer to the presence of the Lord. If you missed any of the previous teachings,
you can review them here!
Jewish tradition teaches us that at Rosh Hashanah, God sits on His throne of judgment and evaluates His creation. It is said that the names of the righteous and the unrepentant are recorded in their respective books, and the 10 Days of Awe serve as a time for repentance, reflection, and reconciliation leading up to Yom Kippur.
But the Bible reveals something even greater: on the Day of Atonement, the holiest day of the year, the High Priest was commanded to step behind the veil into the Holy of Holies. With fear and trembling, he sprinkled the blood of a spotless lamb upon the Mercy Seat, making atonement for the sins of God’s people (Leviticus 16:29-30).
Of course, this foreshadowed the ultimate sacrifice — when Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed His blood once for all on Calvary. The veil was torn from top to bottom, granting every believer access to the very throne of grace! That is why this season of Atonement is still so critical today. It remains God’s divine appointment for His people to come before Him with humility, repentance, and obedience.
Most Bible scholars agree that the return of Christ will be connected to this feast season — the only one yet to be fulfilled historically and prophetically. That is why, as Christians, we take these 10 Days of Awe so seriously. They remind us to purify our hearts, and call us to ready ourselves as the Bride of Christ … to prepare for the coming wedding feast of the Lamb (Revelation 19:7).
Will you head the call with me, Friend? Every day during this anointed season, I am bringing you and your loved ones before the throne of grace in prayer every single day during this sacred season. Please send me your most urgent prayer requests so I can agree with you in faith. And remember, the Bible commands us:
“Do not appear before the Lord empty-handed” (Deuteronomy 16:16 MEV). Your Atonement Offering is more than a gift — it is an act of covenant obedience that positions you for His promises of restoration, miracles, and breakthrough.
Yours for the harvest,
Pastor Rod Parsley
