The Hebrew word, 'kipper', when used in relation to sin, is understood by theologians and scholars to mean “to cover, wipe out, to make inoperative, and to annul.” On the positive side, it includes the reinstating of God’s favor, freedom from sin, and restoration to holiness. This provision was foreshadowed in the Old Testament but revealed more fully at the cross. However, Israel, as a nation, rejected Jesus and will only experience this reconciliation, nationally, at His second coming.
