The Day of Atonement is a solution to the problem of human inadequacy in working with God to bless and rule the world.
The Day of Atonement involves sacrifices by the high priest, bringing death right into the heart of the tabernacle.
The two goats represent the blameless substitute and the removal of sin, respectively.
The blood of the blameless substitute purifies the holy place and compensates for moral failings.
Jesus sees himself as both the blameless sacrifice and the bearer of sin, fulfilling the symbolism of the Day of Atonement.
At the center of the center of the Torah is the Day of Atonement. What is the significance of this day the biblical authors have placed at the heart of the Torah? What does this day accomplish? And what’s with the sacrificial goat and the scapegoat? In this episode, Tim and Jon explore the Day of Atonement and the ultimate atonement accomplished by Jesus on the cross.
