The Day of Atonement: Scapegoat and Sacrificial Lamb
|
In our daily life, we often hear the word ‘a scapegoat‘ or ‘a sacrificial lamb‘ in some situations.
For instance, when a news anchor reports about political issue, he mentions that “He became a political scapegoat by his party due to the corruption scandal.” Also you can hear from one of your coworkers saying, “I feel like I have been made a scapegoat for the bad result of the projects in my team.”
How about this? “He was willing to be a sacrificial lamb to remain a hostage alone in order that her family members can be released from the robber.”

Then what is the real meaning of a scapegoat?
Who is the original figure of a sacrificial lamb?
Do you know the difference between a scapegoat and a sacrificial lamb?
It can be said that a scapegoat is forced to load the burdens or the sins of people and a sacrificial lamb is willing to carry the sins of people voluntarily. The biggest difference is that when he does something it is done out of his own will or will-less.
It is known that the word comes from Judaism and ‘a scapegoat’ which is called ‘Azazel’ in Hebrew language, combining the meaning of ‘to be sent’ and ‘a goat’, is a male goat to be sent into the desert, carrying the sins of people and dies in an uninhabited region after all.
The event that the scapegoat is sent into the desert takes place on the tenth day of the seventh month by sacred year and it is ‘The Day of Atonement‘ in the Law of Moses.
According to the Bible, “The priest is to cast lots for the two goats-one lot for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat.
Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the LORD and sacrifice it for a sin offering.
But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to be used for making atonement by sending it into the desert as a scapegoat.
This is to be a lasting ordinance for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month atonement will be made for you to cleanse you.” (Lev 16:8~10)
Meanwhile, there is another figure to atone for the sins of people, who is Jesus Christ and He is the original figure of a sacrificial lamb.
Two thousand years ago, Jesus, God Himself, came down to the earth by His own will and Jesus, God Himself, suffered the pain of the cross, shedding His blood and torn off His flesh by His own will and Jesus, divine nature, laid down His life for the forgiveness sins of people by His own will.
Who can be willing to throw away his life except God? Consequently He sacrificed all that He had, even His life. It is the reason that He is called ‘a Sacrificial Lamb’.
Even Jesus, namely the Second Coming Jesus, came down to this earth second time by His own will to fulfill the prophecies and Heavenly Father, the Holy Spirit, suffered hunger, thirst, hardship and cold by His own will, walking the paths of adversity and affliction, and even He didn’t open His mouth and endured silently when He was mocked, despised and insulted by human and restored Zion by His will.
Consequently He sacrificed all that He had to seek the children for long time. It is the reason that He is called ‘a Sacrificial Lamb’.
Eventually He left the wife of the Lamb, Jerusalem Mother (God the Mother) for His children in this earth. However in this case He could not do it by His will and He might have done it very reluctantly.
Rather, Jerusalem Mother decided to stay next to Her children by Her will. Although She is omniscient and omnipotent and deserves worthy of eternal praise and honor, just because She gave birth to sons and daughters, She is always with us and takes good care of us, wearing the clothes of flesh.
Consequently She has sacrificed all that She had to save Her children until now. It is the reason that She is called ‘our Mother’.
On the Day of Atonement the Holy Spirit and the Bride, Heavenly Father and Mother, wash away all dirt of our souls and take away the sins.
If They had came down to this earth, no one could have received the forgiveness of sins.
With Their sacrifice, we put our sins, transgressions, trespass and iniquities to Them and we don’t feel guilty. Every moment we owe the tremendous debt to Them.
Therefore to become the righteous, we must repent our sins and live a life to please Heavenly Parents in every good deed.

Chapter 2: The Seven Kinds of Feasts of Three Times
In the Old Testament, there are the seven feasts a year made a group into three and ‘the Day of Atonement‘ belongs to the third group. For the third time, the feast of harvest of autumn begins. This feast is called the Feast of the seventh month.
On the first day of the seventh month by sacred year which is the Feast of Trumpet, people prepared for ten days the Day of Atonement by blowing trumpets loudly, and on the tenth day of the same month the high priest offered to the LORD the blood of goats and calves as a sin offering for him and his people.
And once a year the entered the Most Holy Place and burned incense. Christ became the eternal sacrifice of atonement, and Jesus’ suffering and death in the body on the cross fulfilled the prophecies by entering secondly on July 10 by sacred year.
He fulfilled the Day of Atonement. So the blood on the Cross is an eternal sign of the New Covenant, which should be commemorated even to the last day(1Cor. 11:26, Isa. 33:20, Zeph. 3:18).
The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG), believing in “God the Mother“, are practicing the love of “God the Mother” and showing Her favor based on the philanthropy.
Eternal glory, praise and worship to the Most High God the Father and God the Mother. Thanks Elohim God very much for your savior in last age. We always thanks to Christ Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly Mother for guiding us on the right path of truth.
For the sins of this sinner who had no choice but to die, God took our sins on our behalf and opened the way to heaven for His children. If God had not come to this earth, we would have lost neither the forgiveness of sins nor the kingdom of heaven.
I recognize about how to belong to God’s side instead of Satan’s side. as a result, I will keep celebrating the new covenant Passover till the end.
We will go back to heavenly father and heavenly mother to forgive our sins, so that we can return to our eternal home.

Without God the mother and God the father’s sacrifice we never expect to receive salvation and eternal life.
Our pains are those we cause ourselves.
We cannot redeem ourselves.
Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother sacrificed for our redemption.
The love and sacrifice of Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother are unutterable!!
Forever thanks to Elohim God!!
Amen. Christ Ahnsahnghong is our God Almighty. And also we need to know God the Mother. Let’s come and study Elohim.
REPENT You’ all who believe in this korean christ!! All your sabbath & passover observations will be put in vain. There’s no other GOD who sacrificed for our sins and that is YESHUA alone.
Yes, if Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother had came down to this earth wearing the clothes of flesh, no one could have received the forgiveness of sins.
Let’s not forget we are living happy lives of faith thanks to Their great sacrifice and boundless love for our salvation.
Thanks to Father and Mother!
I will follow God’s will!
So amazing that there are big different meaning! Willing or willing less. Wow. I will do follow Elohim God’s way willingly.
There’s reason that we should remember God’s Feast. God established the day of atonement because of our grave sin even though he suffered on the cross .
Amen. I will always thanks to God to give me forgiveness my sin.
Through the day of atonement, God purifies me and give us the forgiveness of sins. But my God sacrifices herself to give us chance to repent.
Thanks to Father and Mother
Christ Ahnsahnghong, He fulfilled all the prophecies about the Bible.
Christ Ahnsahnghong is the true God, who is without beginning of days, or end of life.
2,000 years ago, Christ Ahnsahnghong was sacrificed on the cross as a sacrificial lamb of Day of Atonement instead of our sins for our salvation. You can never fathom the pains of our God and realize our grievous sins. I give thanks and glory to Our God the Father and God the Mother who gives us forgiveness of sins and blessings with endless love.
Jesus Christ and Second coming christ Ahnsahnghong are sacrificial lambs of The Day of Atonement. We can be given salvation from Holy Spirit,Christ Ahnsahnghong and Bride. Come to God the father and mother and recieve eternal life and water of life.
Come to God the Father and God the Mother !!
Through the profound truth of Atonement Day , I can realize the amazing love of Elohim God’s sacrifice more . .I want to give thanks and repay to our Father Ahnsahanghong and Heavenly Mother who came down to this sinful earth for our forgiveness of our sins . .
I give eternal thanks to our Heavenly Mother who has come this earth to save us, wearing the clothes of flesh.
Our depth of gratitude for Her endless love and sacrifice is too great to express in words.
Heavenly Mother, we love You with all our hearts.
It’s very complicated truth!!
Yes there is no doubt
it is truth
I wanna give thank and praise to Christ Ahnsahnghong and God the Mother carrying my sins for my salvation.
Now, I will carry my own self n take it off from Father and Mother finding lost our brothers and sisters.
We must read and know the truth through the Bible being filled with wondrous LOVE and it is very important to understand the Bible correctly. Elohim God want to give the water of life to evryone in the world.
Without someone’s sacrifice, no one can be forgiven. This is a rule of God. In the Day of Atonement, there is God’s sacrifice and love for us. Giving thanks to God is only thing we who are the sinners can do.
Through the meaning of the day of Atonement, I feel the God’s work is very profound and mysterious. Because our dirty sin is moved to a scapegoat which stands for Satan through the day of Atonement, even all sins are ours, but our God the Father and God the mother wash away our sins without any punishment. How could I repay for their love…
How could I repay for their love… I just do my best to obey the will of God and repent.
Who is willing to sacrifice in stead of my sin?
Who can die for my sin?
Without Love, it’s impossible.
Without Faith, it’s impossible
Heavenly Parents are willing to die for us whose wages of sin is death.
How can we fathom their endless love?
We try to give them a lot of thanks.
We try to pay back their grace gave us
I want to pay back the great love and sacrifices of our God the Father and God the Mother by finding out our lost brothers and sisters.
I just imagine that if I describe my sin with colors, what would it be like? Pitch-black? Crimson? Blood-red? I know how much heavy are those and how much unfavorable are those in the presence of God.
Nonetheless my Elohim God, Heavenly Parents look at me with favor and encourage me to repent and await for me silently until the day which is coming soon, on that day.
I’m grateful to Them for allowing me to pray, to repent and to get another chance so that I might become the new self.
All the time I make up my mind not to commit sins and try my best to please Them so that I can be a smile to Them and become like the cool snow in hot summer.
I also want be a smile to our spiritual parents and become like the cool snow in hot summer for the glory of Elohim God.
