Paul said in Colossians 2:16-17 that the Jewish feasts and celebrations were a shadow of the things to come through Jesus Christ. Of all the Jewish holidays, Yom Kippur presents the most foretelling picture of Christ's death on the cross and his complete fulfillment of the Day of Atonement.

Yom Kippur actually represents the Judgement in the end because it falls after Yom Teruah (Feast of Trumpets) which heralds His return. His death during Passover mirrors a Lamb, Unleavened Bread represents He who is without sin, First Fruits refers to Him being the First Fruits from the grave, and Pentecost His promise of the Holy Spirit-we are still in this Holy Day prophetically.
Yom Kippur is not a Jewish Holy Day it is a Biblical Holy Day. You may ask the question WWJD? The answers is that He would follow the Biblical Calendar.
Amen Michael! Preach it brotha!
