Transcript

Caption transcript for “The Scapegoat”

00:01 Caleb Colson: Coming up on "Our Jewish Roots." Joshua Colson: I thought you hated shooting in Texas. I thought for sure we would be on our way to Israel or
00:09 something right now. Caleb: Yom Kippur has a part of a ceremony called the
00:11 Scapegoat Ceremony.
00:12 Joshua: Okay, alright, look at you, brother.
00:14 Okay, finally starting to acclimate to the
00:17 Texas lifestyle.
00:18 Caleb: And a lot of people get this confused, because they
00:20 think that Yeshua is the scapegoat.
00:23 Joshua: If I look at the sheep, they're still guilty, just like
00:26 the nation of Israel and Yom Kippur.
00:28 Caleb: This outer darkness is where people go after the
00:31 judgment of the sheep and goats.
00:33 ♪♪♪
00:45 David Hart: Thank you so much for joining us today.
00:47 As you can tell, we are at a different location.
00:51 Both of us are in Orlando, and we teach usually from Israel.
00:56 A little different today, guys.
00:58 Hello, where are you at today?
01:00 Joshua: We are back at Caleb's favorite place on earth, where
01:04 the west begins, cow town, Texas, because Caleb couldn't
01:08 get enough of the goats, and apparently after I showed him
01:11 there was biblical goat stuff, he decided to find more goats in
01:14 the Bible to talk about.
01:15 Caleb: There are more goats in the Bible, it's very important.
01:17 We have a lesson on the scapegoat to talk about today
01:20 and the great Day of Atonement.
01:22 Kirsten Hart: Alright, let's go to the stockyards in Fort
01:25 Worth, Texas.
01:26 David: Deep in the heart of Texas.
01:28 Here we go.
01:31 ♪♪♪
01:37 Joshua: I don't get it.
01:40 I thought you hated shooting in Texas?
01:41 I thought for sure we would be on our way to Israel or
01:43 something right now when you said you wanted to shoot
01:45 another episode.
01:46 What are we still doing in the stockyards?
01:47 Caleb: Alright, your episode on the Judas goat was pretty cool,
01:50 so I thought we'd take an opportunity to do kind of a
01:52 follow up lesson, Juda's goat,
01:54 it's time to meet the scapegoat.
01:57 Joshua: There's another goat?
01:58 Caleb: Let's go.
01:59 Joshua: I wanna see another goat.
02:03 ♪♪♪
02:10 ♪♪♪
02:18 Joshua: Okay, alright, look at you, brother, okay, finally
02:21 starting to acclimate to the Texas lifestyle.
02:24 Picking up some nuances and things that he's okay
02:26 with, yeah.
02:27 Caleb: I still hate Texas, strongly dislike Texas, no
02:33 offense, Texans.
02:38 Caleb: Look at these beautiful animals here, Josh.
02:40 These are not goats.
02:42 Joshua: Oh, I was about to say those are giant goats.
02:43 Caleb: No, no, they're not giant goats, cue the screen.
02:46 Look at these goats, guys, these goats look evil.
02:49 You can't trust them.
02:50 Look at this little slit in their eyes.
02:52 Just name the crime, they are guilty of it.
02:55 They are stubborn, they are selfish, they are headstrong,
02:58 they will eat absolute, absolutely anything, and once
03:01 they have made up their mind, there's nothing you can do to
03:04 stop them.
03:05 Joshua: I had no idea that you're such a bigot when it
03:07 came to goats.
03:08 Caleb: I'm sorry.
03:09 Joshua: It's okay.
03:11 See, goats and sheep may look the same, but they're very
03:12 different in the way they process things.
03:14 Sheep are followers, they need to follow somebody.
03:17 They'll travel in flocks together, even going off a cliff
03:20 if one sheep does, but they need a shepherd.
03:23 Not just any shepherd, they need the Good Shepherd, Yeshua.
03:27 That's a giant goat.
03:29 Caleb: That's not a giant goat.
03:33 Caleb: John 10:14-16 says, "I am the good shepherd.
03:37 I know My sheep and My sheep know Me, just as the Father
03:40 knows Me and I know the Father, and I lay down My life for
03:44 the sheep.
03:45 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen.
03:48 I must bring them also.
03:50 They too will listen to My voice, and there shall be one
03:53 flock and one shepherd."
03:56 Joshua: This is definitely 1800's.
03:59 Caleb: I don't think we're both supposed to go in at once.
04:01 Oh, my goodness.
04:03 Joshua: What do we do now?
04:04 How'd you get out?
04:06 Caleb: This way?
04:07 Joshua: Oh, oh, it's so small.
04:14 Joshua: When Yeshua was on the earth, he was the shepherd to
04:16 the Jewish people.
04:18 So, in John 10:16 when he talks about other sheep, he's talking
04:21 about the nations of the Gentiles.
04:23 And this all hearkens, this all puts the focus on the judgment
04:26 of the sheep and goats, which is at the conclusion of the Yom
04:29 Kippur, the great Day of Atonement, the last day of
04:32 the tribulation.
04:34 Caleb: And we wanna look at Yeshua's prophetic fulfillment
04:37 of the great and terrible Day of the Lord to better understand
04:39 the significance of the sheep and goats.
04:42 It's very important, guys, that Yom Kippur has a part of a
04:45 ceremony called the scapegoat ceremony, and a lot of people
04:48 get this confused because they think that Yeshua is
04:50 the scapegoat.
04:52 This is not entirely accurate, guys.
04:54 Parts of this feast were fulfilled, but its ultimate
04:56 fulfillment is yet to come.
04:58 So, we want to look at how Yeshua foreshadows all the seven
05:01 feasts, so we can better understand its significance.
05:04 Take a look at this.
05:06 Joshua: That smells like a scapegoat.
05:09 Caleb: Now, God gave the children of Israel seven holy
05:11 convocations, feasts, festivals, that point his people to
05:16 their Messiah.
05:17 The first four feasts were fulfilled in Yeshua's death on
05:19 Passover, his burial on Unleavened Bread, his
05:22 resurrection on First Fruits, and the Holy Spirit poured out
05:26 on Pentecost, Shavuot.
05:27 Although the spring feasts have been accomplished, we wait for
05:31 the fall feasts, the fall harvest to be completed with
05:33 Yeshua's rapture of his bride on Rosh Hashanah, the Feast of
05:36 Trumpets, his second coming on Yom Kippur, Atonement, and the
05:40 Millennial Reign with Sukkot, the Feast of Tabernacles.
05:43 FYI, guys, Shabbat is a feast if you will, but an outlier in
05:47 which Messiah becomes our Sabbath rest, fulfilled
05:50 completely upon our glorification.
05:54 Joshua: Brother, brother, come quick.
05:57 Brother, I found a scapegoat.
05:59 I got him, brother.
06:00 He's trying to buck me, brother.
06:02 Caleb: Josh, that's not a goat.
06:04 Joshua: It's not a goat?
06:06 Caleb: No.
06:07 Joshua: You sure?
06:08 Caleb: Get off, you're gonna break it for the kids.
06:15 Joshua: So, let's talk about the great Day of Atonement,
06:18 Yom Kippur.
06:19 Now, this is very important, because this deals with the
06:22 national sins of Israel.
06:24 Now, they have to be taken care of.
06:26 Each one of us is responsible personally for forgiveness of
06:30 sins, repenting, moving forward, but as a nation, there was that
06:33 one day that the nation had to repent for its sins.
06:36 You see, it was the sins of the nation brought on by
06:39 the leadership.
06:40 If the leadership had been in sin, if the king was in sin, the
06:44 president was sinning, then the entire nation was placed under a
06:48 curse, not just the individual.
06:49 Caleb: That's true, Josh.
06:51 And we see this over and over again in Scripture, with the
06:53 kingdoms of Israel and Judah as our prime examples.
06:57 We see when the righteous were even living within their
07:00 borders, prophets and good men of God, if the leadership was
07:03 wicked and they were in charge, then enemy nations would come
07:06 and attack Israel.
07:07 You had Aram, Egypt, Philistia, Babylon, Assyria, and that's
07:12 because when the leadership was wicked, God would remove his
07:16 hand of protection over the country, and that curse would be
07:20 enacted, and an enemy would come and would torment
07:22 the people.
07:24 We read about this in Proverbs 29:2.
07:26 "When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice.
07:29 But when a wicked man rules, the people groan."
07:36 Guys, Israel as a nation needed atonement, and this is different
07:39 from the atonement we receive personally when we accept Yeshua
07:43 into our hearts.
07:44 National Israel needed help, and you know, it says in Scripture
07:48 prophetically that the whole house of Israel will not be
07:51 saved until the last day of the tribulation, day 2520.
07:54 You guessed it, this is on Yom Kippur.
07:56 This is when the whole house of Israel is saved, but it's not
08:00 until the fullness of the Gentiles is complete.
08:03 Romans 11:25-27 says, "For I do not desire, brethren, that you
08:08 should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise
08:11 in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened
08:14 to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in.
08:18 And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written, 'The deliverer
08:22 will come out of Zion, and he will turn away ungodliness
08:25 from Jacob.
08:26 For this is my covenant with them when I take away
08:28 their sins.'"
08:30 Joshua: Why does it take so long to bring salvation to
08:32 national Israel?
08:33 Well, I'll tell you why.
08:35 Yeshua had to give them a chance to make the choice, and
08:38 unfortunately they rejected him.
08:40 Well, maybe at least the leadership rejected him,
08:43 not everybody.
08:44 At this time, he used this opportunity to go to the other
08:48 sheep, to reach out to the Gentiles so that the Gentiles
08:52 would want to choose him.
08:53 And when Israel saw these Gentiles choosing him, it would
08:57 incite a jealousy inside them which would push them towards
09:01 him as well.
09:04 Joshua: Romans 11:11-12, "But through their fall to provoke
09:08 them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles.
09:11 Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure
09:14 riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness?"
09:17 Verse 15, "For if they're being cast away is the reconciling of
09:21 the world, what will their acceptance be but life from
09:24 the dead?"
09:28 Caleb: And life from the dead is referring to the conclusion of
09:31 the great and terrible Day of the Lord.
09:34 This is after the judgment of the sheep and goats, but to
09:37 understand that sacrifice that occurred on Yom Kippur, we
09:41 really need to look to the origins of it in Leviticus 16
09:44 when it was instituted.
09:45 And the details that surrounded it are very important.
09:49 You know, the high priest, Aaron at that time, Moses's brother,
09:53 had a very specific set of rules that he had to follow.
09:55 First, he had to make himself clean and his family clean by
09:59 taking a bull which was a sin offering for him and his house.
10:03 Then he had to offer a burnt offering by way of a ram.
10:06 This is very interesting, because it parallels that ram
10:09 that was caught in the thicket that Abraham offered as a
10:11 substitute for Isaac.
10:13 Then he could offer a ram as a burnt offering for the entire
10:17 nation of Israel.
10:19 Now, a sin offering for the nation of Israel was different.
10:22 It wasn't a bull like he had to offer for himself, it was a
10:25 pure goat.
10:26 However, two were selected, very interesting, and Leviticus
10:30 16:7-9 says, "He, Aaron, shall take the two goats and present
10:35 them before the Lord at the door of the Tabernacle of meeting.
10:38 Then Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats, one lot for the
10:42 Lord and the other lot for the scapegoat.
10:45 And Aaron shall bring the goat on which the Lord's lot fell,
10:49 and offer it as a sin offering."
10:51 Joshua: The Lord's goat was killed, his blood was taken, and
10:54 was sprinkled on the altar on the mercy seat for the
10:56 forgiveness of the national sins of Israel.
10:59 Now, this part of the Day of Atonement was already fulfilled
11:02 by the Messiah when he sprinkled his blood across the mercy seat.
11:07 Joshua: Hebrews 9:11-15, "But Christ came as High Priest of
11:11 good things to come, with the greater and more perfect
11:14 tabernacle not made with hands that is, not of this creation,
11:18 not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood
11:21 He entered the most holy place once and for all, having
11:24 obtained eternal redemption."
11:27 Joshua: Even though Yeshua offered propitiation for the
11:29 sins of the world, he won't remove the sins of national
11:32 Israel until national Israel repents and accepts him as the
11:35 Messiah at the end of the second coming.
11:37 It says that they will look upon him whom they have pierced and
11:43 mourn as if it was for their son.
11:46 For when they choose him, they only choose him because they
11:49 see him.
11:50 It won't be by faith that they are choosing to believe him
11:54 as Messiah.
11:55 Caleb: Guys, what about the scapegoat then,
11:57 that pesky scapegoat?
11:59 If Yeshua came as the Lord's goat and removed the sins of the
12:04 people, then what purpose is the scapegoat?
12:07 Well, Leviticus 16:20-22 says, "And when he has made an end of
12:12 atoning for the holy place, the tabernacle of meeting and the
12:15 altar, he shall bring the live goat.
12:18 Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of a live goat,
12:21 confess over it all the iniquities of the children of
12:23 Israel and all their transgressions concerning all
12:26 their sins, putting them on the head of the goat, and shall send
12:30 it away into the wilderness by the hand of a suitable man.
12:34 The goat shall bear on itself all the iniquities to an
12:38 uninhabited land, and he shall release the goat in
12:42 the wilderness."
12:43 Caleb: That first goat, the Lord's goat, was the substitute
12:48 for the sins of national Israel.
12:50 Yeshua enacted this ceremony live in person when he was
12:55 brought before the people and Pontius Pilate.
12:58 Pontius Pilate asked, "Whom shall I release, Jesus of
13:03 Nazareth or Barabbas?"
13:05 This is very interesting, guys, because as we read in the
13:08 Scripture before, it was by the hands of a suitable man that the
13:11 scapegoat would be led into the wilderness, "ish iti" in Hebrew.
13:16 A suitable man did not have to be of the commonwealth of
13:19 Israel, he could be a Gentile.
13:20 We see a suitable man take this position in times past with King
13:24 Cyrus, with King Xerxes, with Pharaoh Necho, but here it was
13:28 Pontius Pilate.
13:29 But the people cried out and chose who was gonna be the
13:32 Lord's goat, Yeshua, and who was gonna be the
13:35 scapegoat, Barabbas.
13:38 ♪♪♪
13:47 Joshua: Brother, quick, I got him.
13:49 I got the scapegoat, come.
13:51 He's big, he's real big. He looks mean.
13:53 ♪♪♪
14:05 Joshua: The scapegoat was different.
14:07 It received the blame for the iniquity and the transgression.
14:10 It received the blame for the sin nature of Israel, for the
14:13 sin nature in general.
14:16 You know, when we do something bad, brother, and we say Satan
14:20 made me do it, right?
14:21 Joshua: What if he did?
14:23 Dude's like a trickster.
14:24 He's, like, a little deceptive.
14:25 I mean, when he kind of puts his thumb up, you know, it's
14:27 nerve wracking.
14:29 It could have been his fault.
14:30 Joshua: All that temptation, it was Satan.
14:32 The reason I made this bad choice, it was Satan.
14:34 You know, if I'm being honest, we actually make the bad
14:37 choices, but it's at this point that the world is going to be
14:41 revealed who Satan really is.
14:43 He, the father of lies, the one who is the creator of all the
14:49 calamity and the sin nature for the entire world, it is going to
14:53 be placed on him.
14:55 Joshua: Isaiah 14:12, 15-17, "How you are fallen from heaven,
15:00 O Lucifer, son of the morning.
15:02 You shall be brought down to Sheol, to the lowest depths of
15:05 the Pit.
15:06 Those who see you will gaze at you, and consider you, saying,
15:10 'Is this the man who made the earth tremble, who shook
15:13 kingdoms, who made the world as a wilderness and destroyed
15:16 its cities?'"
15:18 Caleb: And this event has yet to prophetically occur when all the
15:22 nations will look upon this dragon, this impuissant little
15:26 creature that caused so much trouble, and they'll wonder, was
15:29 this the guy who did everything that caused all of our problems?
15:32 He will be judged, he will be bound, and he will be cast into
15:37 the bottomless pit, the abyss.
15:39 This happens at the beginning of the judgment of the sheep and
15:42 goats, guys, where Satan, the father of these goats, will take
15:46 on that role and fulfill that part of the ceremony.
15:49 He won't be cast into the lake of fire as of yet, but he will
15:52 be thrown into that bottomless pit, into that pit of darkness,
15:55 just as the scapegoat was led into the darkness of
15:57 the wilderness.
15:59 Caleb: Because Revelation 20:1-3 says, "Then I saw an angel
16:02 coming down from heaven, having the key to the bottomless pit
16:05 and a great chain in his hand.
16:07 He laid hold of the dragon, that serpent of old, who is the devil
16:10 and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and he cast him
16:14 into the bottomless pit and shut him up."
16:18 Caleb: So, what is the judgment of the sheep and goats?
16:21 This moment is a deciding, it's a division, a delineation
16:25 between those who are the Lord's, his children, and those
16:29 who are of the enemy, Satan's children, the goats.
16:33 Very interesting, guys.
16:35 This is when the spirits of the dead from the age of the law,
16:38 and those who survive the tribulation age, are brought
16:42 into the valley of Jehoshaphat, the valley of decision, where
16:45 conquering King Yeshua has to separate them.
16:49 Matthew 25:31-34 says, "When the Son of Man comes in His glory,
16:54 and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the
16:57 throne of His glory.
16:59 All the nations will be gathered before Him.
17:01 He will separate them one from another as a shepherd divides
17:04 his sheep from the goats.
17:05 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on
17:08 the left.
17:10 Then the king will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you
17:12 blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you
17:15 from the foundation of the world.'"
17:16 Verse 41, "Then He will also say to those on the left hand,
17:20 'Depart from me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire
17:23 prepared for the devil and his angels.'"
17:27 Joshua: Woof, just like pickle flavored breakfast cereal, goats
17:30 are the worst.
17:31 Joshua: Yeah, it's about time somebody takes pickle down a
17:34 notch or two.
17:35 Pickle, pickles, all of them, everywhere, get out of here.
17:37 You don't belong in breakfast cereal.
17:38 I don't even know why cucumbers weren't good enough, we had to
17:41 change them into some kind of Frankenstein thing.
17:43 Definitely not next to cereal.
17:44 You're not a Lucky Charm, get out of here.
17:46 Joshua: They're no good.
17:48 If I have to think about the delineation between the sheep
17:50 and the goats, I think spiritually it's a lot like the
17:52 grace and the law.
17:54 If I look at the sheep, they're still guilty, just like the
17:57 nation of Israel and Yom Kippur.
17:59 But because they chose God's people, because they chose to
18:02 love him, they receive grace.
18:04 The goats, however, they despise God and his people, so they get
18:08 the full weight of the law.
18:10 And well, that means they get sent to this special little
18:13 level of hell.
18:14 Not the one where Satan lives, but where they're at, they're
18:17 held for a thousand years until the Great White Throne
18:20 of Judgment.
18:21 Caleb: That's terrifying, but back to the scapegoat, I feel
18:24 it's really important to go back to its origins, because the term
18:27 "scapegoat" is an English-ized word that never existed
18:30 in Hebrew.
18:32 The real word in Hebrew is "azazel."
18:34 Now, typically throughout history, Satan has been depicted
18:37 as a goat.
18:38 You have the Luciferian goat god, Baphomet, but the origins
18:42 of azazel are quite different.
18:44 It lends itself to a different fallen angel of sorts, a benei
18:49 elohim, the ringleader of the benei elohim in their rebellion,
18:52 who actually came down to earth and taught mankind to sin in
18:55 special ways.
18:56 1 Enoch 8:1 says, "And Azazel taught men to make
19:00 swords, and daggers, and shields, and breastplates.
19:03 And he showed them the things after these, and the art of
19:06 making them, bracelets, and ornaments, and the art of making
19:09 up the eyes and of beautifying the eyelids, and the most
19:12 precious and choice stones, and all kinds of colored dyes, and
19:15 the world was changed."
19:17 Verse 2, "And there was great impiety and much fornication,
19:20 and they went astray, and all their ways became corrupt."
19:28 Joshua: FYI, the Book of Enoch is not in the canon, it's not
19:32 gospel, but it was a book that was orally handed down even
19:36 though it had been written 200 years before the Messiah.
19:39 It had been around for a long time.
19:41 The telephone game, as we know, can alter or change facts over
19:44 time, but the principles in this book were understood by the
19:47 people of that second temple time period.
19:50 In fact, Yeshua's brother, Jude, quotes from the Book of Enoch.
19:53 They understood these evil spirits to be the descendants of
19:57 the benei elohim, the Nephilim.
20:00 Caleb: The departed spirits of Nephilim, and Jude and Peter
20:04 readily declare that the benei elohim who sinned were punished.
20:08 They were imprisoned in a very low depth of hell called
20:10 Tartarus, but Azazel, or scapegoat if you will, received
20:15 a different punishment.
20:17 1 Enoch 10:4 says: "And further the Lord said to
20:20 Raphael, 'Bind Azazel by his hands and his feet, and throw
20:24 him into the darkness.'
20:26 And split open the desert which is in Dudael, and throw
20:29 him there.
20:30 And throw on him jagged and sharp stones, and cover him with
20:33 darkness, and let him stay there forever, and cover his face,
20:37 that he may not see light, and on the great day of judgment he
20:41 may be hurled into the fire.'"
20:44 Caleb: Interesting, guys, this punishment for Azazel mimics the
20:48 scapegoat ceremony.
20:49 That's because scapegoat means Azazel.
20:52 It's a given name, so when you read the Scripture it says a
20:55 goat is chosen for the Lord, and it says a goat is chosen for
20:58 Azazel to go into that place of desert punishment where he
21:02 was placed.
21:03 It's mind blowing, guys, when you really realize that there's
21:06 multiple layers of hell, just like there's multiple layers
21:09 to heaven.
21:10 And you read in Scripture places like the abyss.
21:13 This place is actually linked with oceans, it means waters,
21:17 but it's in a different dimensional state.
21:19 You have a different state of hell that's called Dudael, as he
21:22 mentions, a place that's synonymous with a desert and
21:25 with darkness.
21:27 And just like the benei elohim, they were bound in Tartarus and
21:30 even in Revelation 9:14 it mentions that four benei elohim
21:34 are bound at the River Euphrates, wow.
21:37 Joshua: It's crazy, this desert place is shrouded in darkness,
21:40 like the outer darkness that Yeshua talks about in Matthew 25
21:44 when he references the parable of the sheep and goats.
21:47 Joshua: Matthew 25:30, "And cast the unprofitable servant into
21:50 the outer darkness.
21:52 There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
21:54 Joshua: This desert place seems to be where those evil spirit,
21:57 the departed Nephilim go when they are cast out until they
22:01 enter a new host to come back in.
22:05 Joshua: Matthew 12: 43-44, "When an evil spirit leaves a person
22:09 it travels through the desert, looking for a place to rest.
22:12 But when the demon doesn't find a place, it says, 'I will go
22:15 back to the home I left.'
22:16 When it gets there and finds the place empty, clean, and neat."
22:21 Caleb: All this to say this outer darkness must really
22:24 suck, guys.
22:25 I mean, Dudael means cauldron of God.
22:28 Imagine a boiling pot of God's judgment being poured out upon
22:31 the wicked.
22:33 This outer darkness is where people go after the judgment of
22:35 the sheep and goats, it's horrifying.
22:38 It's a different level of hell, a different punishment than
22:41 where they just came from.
22:42 You know, in Luke 16 we have the story of the rich man
22:45 and Lazarus.
22:47 The rich man could look across the great chasm and he could see
22:49 Lazarus in Abraham's bosom, but this place, you can't
22:53 see anything.
22:54 It's darkness, it's punishment, but the judgment that comes
22:56 after that is even worse.
22:58 It's called the Lake of Fire, the second death.
23:02 Joshua: Guys, the moral of the story, if I'm being honest with
23:04 you, is don't trust the goat.
23:06 Don't choose the goat.
23:08 Stay away from anything goat-like.
23:10 Here's the point, guys.
23:12 At any point, we could try to sit there and live under the law
23:15 and follow every strict little detail, but you can't do it.
23:18 And the second you mess up, you receive the benefits of the law,
23:22 which is death, right?
23:24 We want to choose grace.
23:26 We want to choose what Yeshua freely gave to us.
23:29 And we don't want to choose because of this fear of the fire
23:32 or the fear of separation from him, we wanna choose because of
23:35 his love.
23:36 We want to choose because he has freely given us his love and
23:40 grace, and sacrifice so that we could spend eternity with him as
23:44 opposed to eternity separated from him.
23:47 There might have been a time in history where the idea of
23:49 sinners of an angry-- in the hands of an
23:51 angry God drew men unto him, but we
23:54 want to be in the time period now where we see ourselves as
23:58 sinners in the hands of a loving God, and today is the day for
24:01 you to choose.
24:03 For you to choose his love and for his love to wash you clean,
24:07 so that you can spend an eternity with the Savior.
24:10 Caleb: Choose today.

24:17 Joshua: Brother, brother, I found the scapegoat but he's way
24:21 bigger than we thought.
24:22 What do I do?
24:24 Caleb: Josh, that's not a goat, that's a longhorn.
24:26 Joshua: What, this is it not the goat?
24:29 This is an escape with the sheep, no?
24:31 Oh, man.

24:41 Kirsten: Many of you know that Dave and I grew up in the
24:44 church, we call ourselves church babies.
24:47 We did not grow up in a synagogue, but we did learn
24:50 about the scapegoat, and this is what I was taught, that the sins
24:55 of Israel were put on the scapegoat, they sent the
24:57 scapegoat out into the desert, that was kind of it.
25:01 So, I really appreciate all the insight that you guys have given
25:06 us today into the deeper significance, so thank you
25:10 for that.
25:12 Caleb: Everything God does is multifaceted.
25:14 He has a purpose in everything he does.
25:17 Nothing is done by accident.
25:18 When you read through Leviticus and all the ceremonial things,
25:21 because he meant to fulfill it later in Yeshua, and Yeshua was
25:25 that Lord's goat, his sacrifice.
25:27 His atonement was the blood sprinkled on the mercy seat in
25:30 heaven, and it's enough to save us from all of our sins.
25:33 David: I will say this, too, guys, that we did learn about
25:36 that maybe in Sunday school, but I don't remember hearing about
25:40 Yom Kippur.
25:41 How about that?
25:43 Caleb: Yeah, Yom Kippur is very important to the Jewish people.
25:45 It's very solemn.
25:47 It's the most serious day of the year of the High Holy Days, and
25:50 that's because everything hangs in the balance for the nation
25:53 of Israel.
25:54 But we're very thankful that Yeshua paid that price so we
25:57 don't have to be judged for not receiving those sacrifices.
26:01 They can't sacrifice in that way today, it really is sad.
26:05 There's no temple, there's no sacrifices, so they can't really
26:07 see Yeshua in those sacrifices anymore.
26:10 It's all just ceremonial now.
26:12 Kirsten: And that's why it's so vitally important for programs
26:15 like ours to be on the air, because you can be a Christian
26:20 believer in a church, but you will not get the significance of
26:25 it without the jewishness to our faith.
26:28 That's vitally, vitally important.
