Description: Yahu'shua Messiah (Jesus Christ) lived out an intermediate fulfillment of Yom Kippur at his first coming, during his forty days of fasting in the wilderness. At his second coming, he will fulfill it again on the Day of Wrath when he "avenges the blood of the saints" and returns with this bride (Revelation 19). As we read Matthew's account of Yahu'shua's temptation in the wilderness, we learn that there are some very strong clues about the scapegoat and the sacrificial goat being fulfilled in Yahu'shua. Yahu'shua Messiah (Jesus Christ) lived out an intermediate fulfillment of Yom Kippur at his first coming, during his forty days of fasting in the wilderness. At his second coming, he will fulfill it again on the Day of Wrath when he "avenges the blood of the saints" and returns with this bride (Revelation 19). As we read Matthew's account of Yahu'shua's temptation in the wilderness, we learn that there are some very strong clues about the scapegoat and the sacrificial goat being fulfilled in Yahu'shua. Yom Kippur Explained Leviticus 16 gives us the instructions through Moses for all for Israel on how to keep Yom Kippur. The high priest is to take two goats and present them before YHWH at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. He is to cast lots for the goats-one for YHWH and the other for "Azazel" (literally, "the goat of removal," the scapegoat). Two goats were to be brought before him. He would place his hands on their heads and confess the sins of the people. One would be slaughtered as a sacrifice to Elohim (God). The Scriptures tell us that the second goat is to be offered to Azazel, which is a Hebrew word that literally means: #5799 `aza'zel az-aw-zale' from 5795 and 235; goat of departure; the scapegoat:--scapegoat. The idea behind the scapegoat is that he is to be sent out into the desert, separated from the people "as far as the east is from the west." He escapes death, but he carries the sins of the people with him to his dying day. They sinned, he suffers. They were guilty, he pays the price. That's what "scapegoat" has come to mean: an innocent person who is forced to take the blame. Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement literally means "covering", is the sixth of the seven Biblical feasts given by God to the nation Israel (Lev. 23:26-32). Observed on the tenth day of the seventh month (Tishrei), it is the highest Holy Day of the Feasts appointed by YHWH. God commanded Israel to observe the Day of Atonement because they were a sinful people in need of cleansing so that they might have continued fellowship with Him. Yom Kippur is also the culmination of the "Days of Awe," the ten-day period of self-examination and repentance that begins on Yom Teruah (Day of Blowing) on the first day of the 7th month of Tishrei. The final act in the atoning work of the High Priest involved dispensing of the nation's sins. The High Priest laid his hands upon the head of the scapegoat and confessed the sins of the nation. An appointed man (who became temporarily ceremonially unclean) then led the goat away. According to the Bible (Lev. 16:21-22), the goat was to be led into the wilderness and left there.
