Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is considered the holiest and most awesome day by both the Messianic Hebraic faith and traditional Judaism.  However, both traditional Judaism and Christendom has so distorted the teachings of YHVH so as to negate the substance behind the commandment to observe this most holy Feast of the Lord.

In parasha, Nitsavim, meaning "You Are Standing" (ver 10), is the decision we must make before a Holy God for the pathway of our lives.  VaYelech (And He Went) is Moses' proclamation of curse for and prophecy of covenant breaking.  In them we can see the direct reflection of the New Covenant Yeshua offered through His blood sacrifice.  It simply asks if we will accept the terms (i.e. obedience) to the covenants YHVH has offered.  This choice of life or death is given to all generations (vs 15) and offers subsequent restoration conditioned upon repentance.
