   (the Atonement) Christian theology the reconciliation of God and humankind   
   through Jesus Christ,   
      
   origin;early 16th century(denoting unity or reconciliation, especially   
   between God and man): from at one+-ment , influenced by medieval Latin   
   adunamentum‘unity’, and earlier one ment from an obsolete verb one‘to   
   unite’.   
   ************************   
      
   Words mean something. IOW One with, as Jesus said, that the Born Again   
   Believer is one with Him, as He is with the Heavenly Father.   
      
   What is so intriguing about this is that in the OT the Blood of the Lamb was   
   applied to the Ark of the Covenant for the sins of the Nation of Israel. All   
   representating what Jesus was going to do when He applied His blood to the   
   Ark of the Covenant in Heaven. (A copy of which was built as designed by God,   
   to be placed into the Holy of Holies on earth.)   
      
   All of these things were purposed by God to restore Man to be one with God as   
   he was designed and created to be in the Garden of Eden. Yet was broken by   
   the disobedience of the First Adam. The second Adam, Jesus the Messiah, was   
   and is the real sacrifice which ’atoned’ for the sins of mankind to   
   restore us into the position of being one with Jesus and the Heavenly Father,   
   as they were and are One.   
      
   HOW AMAZING IS THAT !!!!
