      Spiritual Power - Dr. Andy C. Lewter, Jr.

      Introduction

      Each year in the Jewish community there is a time when the faithful reset their spiritual identity and relationship with God.  It is almost as though God knows that, during the year, people will wander away from him and create distance between the creator and the created.  This annual event is known as The Day of Atonement.  In more modern times we refer to it as Yom Kippur.  This annual festival is punctuated with prayer and is a time of meditation and fasting.  Of all the days that appear on the Jewish calendar, there is no day any more sacred than the Day of Atonement. 

      If you look carefully at the word you will see that the phrase "at one is clearly embedded in the word atonement.  The day is designed to make the people of God at one" with God.  Yom Kippur is observed with 25 hours of intense prayer and repentance.  Typically, members of the Jewish faith will spend their day in the synagogue.

      Yom Kippur is the tenth day of the seventh month(Tishrei) and is regarded as the Sabbath of Sabbaths.  The Day of Atonement completes what on the Jewish calendar is known as the amim Nora'im, interpreted in English as the High Holy Days or the Days of Awe

      Christianity, while continuing the Jewish tradition in general, does not observe Yom Kippur.  However, from the very beginning of Christianity the early church recognized the value and need to reset their relationship with God on an annual basis.  Christianity chose not to imitate Judaism identically but turned to its own liturgical exercise that would do for the Christian Church what the Day of Atonement had done for the Jewish faith tradition.

      In the first century AD, Christianity began primarily as a member of the Jewish Sectarianism movement and as such, was viewed alongside other sectarian groups such as the Pharisees, Sadducees, Qumranites, Zealots and other groups that were known to be off-shoots of mainstream Judaism.  However, around the mid-first century, Judaism incurred the wrath of the Roman Empire.  The Roman Empire declared Judaism Religio Illicitia.  Emperor Claudius expelled the Jews from Rome and suddenly, it was no longer healthy to be identified with the Jewish religion.  It was at that time that Early Christianity sought to put distance between itself and Judaism.

      A Brief History Lesson

      In the previous introduction I mentioned that by the middle of the first century AD there had grown a rift between the Jewish religion and the Roman Empire.  Two specific events led to this tension between church and state.

      Between the years of 41 AD to 53 AD, during the reign of the Emperor Claudius, Jews were found to be causing constant agitations at the instigation of a character, identified by the Roman historian, Suetonius, as Chrestus.  As a result, Emperor Claudius expelled the Jews from the city of Roman.  Mind you, this is at a time when Christianity was viewed as a part of the Jewish religion.  Because of this, early Christians sought to distinguish themselves from the Jewish community, which was finally done by the year 96 AD., due to the modification of the Fiscus Judaicus, a tax that Jews were required to pay that Christians were not.

      The second event that severed the connection between Jews and Christians was the Jewish Revolt that lasted from 66 AD to 70 AD.  Led by the Zealots, Jews
