“Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which shall try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you, but rejoice, inasmuch as you are part-takers of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory shall be revealed you may be glad also with exceeding joy.” (1 Pet 4:12). Since recognizing this as the meaning of the goat sacrifice, we see a force and meaning in some of the New Testament utterances relating to our death, and etc., which we never…

In the type it was not the sufferings of the bullock or goat, but the DEATH, by which an atonement was affected, though they suffered, of course, because death involves suffering. “The Man, Christ Jesus,” “tasted death for every man,” by being crucified – a gradual or lingering death – but the giving of his life in any manner would have paid the price. Now, all who would be “members of his body” must die to the world, give up the flesh life, so that they can, with Paul,…

The bullock having been slain, its body was taken outside the camp and burned with fire; representing that when Jesus died for our sins, his flesh life was counted as though sinful and consumed. “His flesh saw not corruption” yet his flesh life was destroyed. “He took upon him the form of a servant for the suffering of death. There that form of life (his perfect human life) ended, and though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him (so) no more.”…

“Thus, Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with the blood of a young bull as a sin offering, and of a ram as a burnt offering.” Lev 16:3 In considering this type we must, to appreciate it, remember that it is a picture by itself, of one particular part, of the work of the World’s High Priest. It is a comparatively easy matter to talk or write about the High Priest anointed and etc., going into the Holy Place and coming out, etc., in a general way, but…

“The following will prove interesting reading to many of our brethren, and especially amongst our Jewish friends. It is a report of remarks made by an old Hebrew at a “mission” meeting. We note that God has so overturned natural Israel that even if they had possession of the holy places where sacrifices were appointed to be offered, they have no priest qualified to make the offerings. No Jew living in the world today could prove his right to the…

“Then Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of meeting, shall take off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the [Most] Holy Place, and shall leave them there. And he shall wash his body with water in a holy place (the ‘courtyard’), and put on his [other] garments, come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.” (Lev 16:23, 24) It will…

“In the Hebrew, when the lot had been cast upon the goats, one was declared to be for Jehovah and the other for Azazel. The significance of the word Azazel is not very clear, but according to the majority of modern scholars it stood for the prince of darkness; and in Milton’s “Paradise Lost” Azazel is represented as the standard-bearer of the infernal hosts—the prince of devils. We agree with this interpretation because it corresponds well with the expression of…

Continued from our previous post. “The Scapegoat class , i.e. ‘The Great Company’ or ‘Great Multitude’, if you will, Rev 7:9;13-17, though ‘castaways’ as regards the prize (1 Cor 9:27) are nevertheless objects of the Lord’s love; for at heart they are friends of righteousness and not sin, hence by his providence, [that is by or] through the circumstances of life, the Lord will cause them to come through ‘great tribulation’, thus accomplishing for them, [that for which they did…

“And when he has made an end of the atoning for the [Most] Holy Place (sprinkling the blood upon the mercy seat), the tabernacle of meeting (i.e. the “Holy”, placing the blood upon the horns of the Incense altar), and the altar (i.e., the “Court”, placing the blood upon the horns of the Brazen altar), then shall he bring [forth] the live goat (the ‘scapegoat’).” Lev 16:20 “After the priest with the blood of the bullock and of the goat…

“And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of [the incense altar] once in a year with the blood of the sin offering of atonement’s; once in the year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your generations: it is most holy unto the Lord.” (Exod 30:10) Last in the line of reconciliation is the Court, well represented by its altar. In this connection it is very clearly set forth that the blood of reconciliation is that of the bullock…
