The Day Of Atonement. 9/21/2026

 

The meaning of the Two Goats

 

Where have we seen this number “TWO” before? Oh, yes, the FEAST of Shavuot (Pentecost) and the TWO wave loaves..Jew and Gentile, one in Messiah. In the Fall Feast, the High priest OFFERS up TWO goats on Yom Kippur the Day of AtONEment.

FIRST GOAT: Jesus’ FIRST COMING

One of the goats would be killed, and its blood sprinkled on the mercy seat of YHWH in the Holy of Holies to make atonement for the sin of the people of ISRAEL. This goat that was killed is a SYMBOL of the PASSOVER LAMB of GOD who takes AWAY the sin of the world – YESHUA (JESUS)! This Passover Lamb (YESHUA/JESUS), symbolized by the Sacrificial GOAT on Yom Kippur, is the blood of the NEW COVENANT that has been poured out for ALL PEOPLE (including the lost 10 tribes of ISRAEL AND the GENTILE PEOPLE)..and later the Jewish people, for the FORGIVENESS OF SIN!

Jesus sacrifice on the Cross is the ONLY Propitiation for sin. God is both merciful and Just. He cannot simply “overlook” sin.  He won’t just “brush it off”. God HIMSELF in the form of HIS SON JESUS, took our sins and nailed them to the cross so that we could be FORGIVEN. It is the ONLY WAY for ALL MANKIND to be “at ONE” (ment) with our GOD!

SECOND GOAT: Jesus’ SECOND COMING

But why the other goat, the “scapegoat”, the Azazel?  Well, some people may get thrown off because the name Azazel was also the name of a demon, but I do NOT believe the 2nd goat represents the enemy in any way since it was he who carried away the sins of the people! In a grand ceremony, the High Priest would press the sins of the people onto this LIVE GOAT and then send it into the wilderness (desert) supposedly not to return. Jewish legend states that a red sash was tied around the Live goat’s neck (scapegoat), as a symbol for the sin of the people.

Never Forget

 

Twenty-five years ago tomorrow, our nation witnessed the unimaginable. Nearly 3,000 lives were taken when four hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.
 
For many Americans, the day started out as any ordinary day would. Thousands of mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, friends, neighbors, first responders, and coworkers left their homes, not knowing they would never return. But it wasn’t just their lives that were affected – our nation as we knew it changed forever.
 
As coverage of smoke and rubble took over the airwaves and television screens, the most destructive and deadly terrorist attack to occur on American soil unfolded. Countless first responders, military personnel, law enforcement officers, health care professionals, and good Samaritans answered the call to help, some making the ultimate sacrifice.
