People Fasting in New Zealand
The Day of Atonement is part of God's plan. It pictures that Jesus paid the penalty for sins and that Satan will bear guilt for his actions. What does it mean to 'afflict your soul'? Why do many connect this with fasting? If Christians should fast, is drinking water okay as part of a biblical fast? What are some of the lessons of the Day of Atonement and fasting?

What does the Azazel goat of Leviticus represent? Dr. Thiel answers these questions and more.
