A great sacrifice must take place in
order to make all other sacrifices
acceptable to God.
Leviticus 16:7-10 –
“Then he is to take the two goats and present them
before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of
meeting. He 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
wilderness as a scapegoat.
Leviticus 16:15-16 –
"He shall then slaughter the goat for the sin
offering for the people and take its blood
behind the curtain and do with it as he did with
the bull's blood: He shall sprinkle it on the
atonement cover and in front of it.
In this way he will make atonement for the Most
Holy Place because of the uncleanness and
rebellion of the Israelites, whatever their sins
have been. He is to do the same for the Tent of
Meeting, which is among them in the midst of
their uncleanness.
Leviticus 16:17, 20 –
“No one is to be in the Tent of Meeting from the
time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the
Most Holy Place until he comes out, having
made atonement for himself, his household
and the whole community of Israel …
When Aaron has finished making atonement for
the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting and
the altar, he shall bring forward the live goat.
Leviticus 16:21-22 –
“He is to lay both hands on the head of the
live goat and confess over it all the
wickedness and rebellion of the
Israelites — all their sins — and put them
on the goat's head. He shall send the goat
away into the desert in the care of a man
appointed for the task.
The goat will carry on itself all their sins to
a solitary place; and the man shall release
it in the desert. …
Leviticus 16:30 –
“
… on this day atonement will be made for you,
to cleanse you. Then, before the LORD,
you will be clean from all your sins.”

Every annual Day of Atonement, done for
centuries in Israel, was a rehearsal to that Great
Day of Atonement, when the Lamb of God, our
Lord Jesus Christ, died on the Cross.
Jesus – both the Sacrifice and the Sin-bearer.

“The human race as a whole is now slowly
waking up to the enormity of the havoc that
has been wrecked morally, socially, culturally
and definitely physically over the last few
decades by the widespread pursuit of
individual gratification and indulgence.”
People who live only for
themselves and their
needs, selfishly, without
concerns for other
people – this moral,
social and cultural
problem is the cause for
global warming.
“In some sense, the world
has gradually woken up to
it .. But it’s not everyone’s
No. 1 priority.
If you ask the man on the
street, he is more
concerned with economic
security, education and
health care and those kinds
of immediate concerns.”
“The Science is solid, I
don’t know if the
political will is equally
so. We are asking
politicians to do things
that cause some
hardship now and but
which will have great
benefits for our children
and grandchildren”
-Prof. Richard
Somerville
Beyond Climate Change, and beyond
Moral Degradation of society,
Do we have any concerns for the eternal
destiny of men and women all over
the world, all around us?
