This Holy Day – Day of Atonement – partially pictures the removal of Satan and his influence. That alone is cause for celebration. But it is not anywhere close to the ultimate meaning of this Day. This Day is centered around the concept of our separating walls being torn down and mankind being reconciled and reconnected with God.
