Perhaps this day of sorrow cannot be strictly termed a feast day. But yet as being on the Sabbath, that sacred day lost not its name. Is not the LORD JESUS typically set forth here also, who in the days of his flesh offered up strong crying and tears. Hebrews 5:7. This was he, of whom Daniel spake, Daniel 9:24. And this was he, whom Paul describes, as having by himself purged our sins. Hebrews 1:3. Blessed LORD! as thou art exalted as a prince and a Saviour, to give to Israel repentance and remission of sins, give to me those ascension-gifts; that I may so look unto thee in every day's atonement of thy blood, as to mourn for thee. Zechariah 12:10.
