The day of Atonement is a mirror image of the Passover. The Passover occurred on earth, when Jesus was crucified for the sins of the world, but the Atonement occurred in heaven for the redemption of God's elect. This teaching is set out in Hebrews chapter nine.
Sadly, to this day, the epistle to the Hebrews is not understood among the vast army of deceived, religious people, claiming to repersent Jesus. Also, when God revealed the holy days to Moses, and instructed him that Aaron be ordained the high priest, neither Moses nor Aaron understood the meaning of Atonement. For the Holy Spirit had not yet been given, and without the Holy Spirit, one cannot understand the word of God. Of course, since the people of Israel don't believe that Jesus is both God and the son of God, they cannot understand the meaning of Atonement.
