11Q13 Scroll (11QMelch) is a fragment (that can be dated to the end of the 2nd or start of the 1st century BC) of a text about Melchizedek found in Cave 11 at Qumran in the Israeli Dead Sea area and which comprises part of the Dead Sea Scrolls. In this eschatological text, Melchizedek is seen as a divine being and Hebrew titles as Elohim are applied to him. According to this text Melchizedek will proclaim the “Day of Atonement” and he will atone for the people who are predestined to him. He also will judge the peoples.[31]

The interesting thing about document 11Q13 is the fact that unlike  21st century mainline LAODICEAN Christian theology it properly defines the role of Melchizedek as the main figure and arbitrator of the Day of Atonement  which is the High Priest.  Most Christians assume that the Day of Atonement took place on the Day that Jesus died on the cross or immediately when he ascended to heaven but as we  have already seen, the first agenda of the Sanctuary (Everlasting Gospel) which was illustrated by the feast of Passover took place in the spring and the Day of Atonement which was a fall festival is an indicator that the two feasts would have different agendas.   The dictum of copy and shadow which is found in Hebrews 8:5 also reveals that the order that God has established with regard to the illustration of the Sanctuary and its earthly agendas in comparison to  its real or anti-typical fulfillment cannot be altered. In other words if ancient Israel had a daily sacrifice for individual forgiveness and a year later a Day of Atonement, this basic theological structure cannot be altered when it comes to the matter of the final fulfillment which in theological terminology is called the anti-typical. So in other words, the Anti-typical Day of Atonement cannot be defined as taking place during the spring feast of Passover. Jesus also clearly stated in Matthew 5 that he didn’t come to change the law or the prophets. Learn More… 

11Q13 presents clear evidence that the 6th feast of ancient Israel, the Day of Atonement would have a fulfillment just like the other fall feast known as the feast of Tabernacles which will be celebrated in the Kingdom of God. Another overlooked verse which proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a final anti-typical Day of Atonement 6th feast is Hebrews 9:23

The text clearly states that the heavenly things need a better sacrifice in order to be purified. This verse actually confirms the Final Atonement in heaven on account of the fact that the earthly tabernacle had a yearly cleansing of its 3 divisions, the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place and the Altar in the Court. Our dictum of copy and shadow now takes us to heaven in the final fulfillment since Hebrews 8:2 tells us that Jesus ministers in the Heavenly Sanctuary as our High Priest.

When read superficially  as previously stated, this can erroneously be interpreted as Jesus death on the cross being the High Priestly fulfillment for the cleansing of the Heavenly things but this is not what the verse is stating.  When we read in Hebrews 6:20 we arrive at the proper conclusion that  the context of the High Priestly ministration takes place upon ascension to heaven.  We also come to the realization that the final fulfillment of the anti-typical Day of Atonement requires a perfect sacrifice which our Great High Priest of the Order of Melchizedek would utilize at a specific point in time in earth’s history which in Revelation 14:6,7 is called the Hour of his Judgement keeping in mind that in the very same fashion that the High Priest utilized a bull for the cleansing of his household as well as a goat for the cleansing of the Congregation on the Day of Atonement , Jesus (Yeshua’s) sacrifice on the cross serves this same purpose  but now in the context of his High Priestly ministration of the Order of Melchizedek as stated in Document 11Q13 since his sacrifice replaces those imperfect animal sacrifices which could not cleanse sin, the difference being is the fact that the  Final Atonement 3 fold cleansing of the Sanctuary is not the same as the daily illustration of Individual and corporate forgiveness that we have studied under the heading of the 1st and 2nd agendas of the Sanctuary. What we are dealing with in the Final Atonement is the final eradication of sin itself and its responsibility is to fall upon its originator which is Satan himself.  The next question for our readers would be the following, “at what point in time does this third agenda take place?
