If a Jew does not want to accept Yeshua's offer of atonement, then the only other possible means for the sinner to make atonement is by sacrificing animals as Israelites did in the Bible times. But the Bible also says that the slaughtered animal must be offered before the tabernacle (later inside the temple)--where the presence of God dwelled. Otherwise, the sacrifice was unacceptable, and the person was cursed by God (Lev. 17:3-4).

The Good News is that Yeshua fulfilled the Law's requirement. He died for our sins one whole generation (40 years) before the Temple was destroyed. But He, having risen from the grave, offered His sacrifice (His body) for His people in the heavenly Temple--the one Moses copied, the one in which the Lord's presence dwells forever (Ex. 25:40; Heb. 9:11-12,24). God has made a way for the sinner!

"So remember, not only did Yeshua die," I tell Jewish people, "but He arose from the dead and returned to His Father. What does that mean to you? It means that He will bring the Spirit of God to come and live in your spirit--His new Temple built without hands--giving you new birth, a new lease on life. And the Spirit of God will show you the way to go, to live the life of a Jew redeemed by God Himself. He will then allow you the honor of leading a life planned by Him, guided by Him, and protected by Him, just as in the times of the Bible."
