Propitiantion

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Propitiantion [1]

The offering which appeases the wrath of one against whom an offence has been committed. Christ is "the propitiation for our sins,"  Romans 3:25 , inasmuch as his sacrifice alone removes the obstacles which prevented the mercy of God from saving sinners, and appeases the just wrath of the law,  1 John 2:2   4:10 . The same Greek word is used in the Septuagint to denote an "atonement,"  Numbers 5:8; a "sin-offering,"  Ezekiel 44:27; and the covering of the Ark of the Covenant,  Leviticus 16:14   Hebrews 9:5 . See Mercy Seat.
