Why FAST on Day of Atonement
We FAST on the Day of Atonement because God wants us to focus all of our attention and energy on removing from our minds the IDEA that caused Lucifer to separate from God.
The Leviticus 16 ritual of transferring that IDEA from our minds back onto Satan's mind is meant to picture this crucial event that must take place in each of our lives if we wish to live in an eternal community that completely and fully rejects that IDEA.
Each of us must fully understand and completely reject that IDEA in order to be at-one with God for an eternity.
That IDEA is VICTIMISM.
VICTIMISM is the IDEA that separated Lucifer from God.
It transformed "Lucifer" into "Satan" - the adversary and enemy of God.

Notice that the entire Book of Job is dealing with this IDEA of VICTIMISM - with Satan finally convincing Job that he was being VICTIMIZED by God.
But Job repented of that IDEA after an intensive focused examination of Job's mindset and attitude was initiated by God.
And this whole exercise with Job was actually aimed at Satan, with God trying to get Satan to realize his IDEA that he was being VICTIMIZED by God was wrong too.
Likewise, each of us must undergo a similar self-examination and come to this same realization.
This will take all our attention and energy to let God root it out of us.
That's WHY we FAST on Atonement - to remove all physical distractions so we can focus entirely on this mental and spiritual cleansing that will enable us to live in happiness and harmony forever with God and His heavenly Family.
Such happiness and harmony cannot coexist with the IDEA of VICTIMISM.
This is WHY Satan has to be put away forever - because he embodies and is completely animated by the IDEA of VICTIMISM, which is a LIE and an insult and affront to the God of TRUTH and LOVE.
We must fully understand and agree with what God does to Satan on the Day of Atonement.
Satan is NOT a VICTIM.
Satan has freely and consciously chosen to believe this LIE, and will not change his mind, ever, because he now identifies with it.
And now God will honor that choice on the Day of Atonement with an eternal judgment of separation and isolation so that peace and happiness can reign in heaven and earth forever and ever.
May we all have a very meaningful and happy Day of Atonement this year and every year hereafter by being at-one with God on this fundamental core issue of trusting that God truly loves each one of us - forever!
Jn 3:16
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
