So, what does the ‘scapegoat’ really mean? And, why are there 2 goats on the Day of Atonement? There is much spiritual truth contained in the feasts and sabbaths of the Old Testament. They are full of symbolic meanings. However, none of these feasts and sabbaths are intended to be kept today. That is because all of these symbolic actions have their fulfillment in Jesus Christ. The Day of Atonement contains many beautiful spiritual truths. In fact, this day symbolizes the blood offering of Jesus Christ. But, there are 2 goats. One is sacrificed. The other goat is sent into the wilderness. Please click on the link below to view a YouTube video on this topic. Or, please visit the Feasts of the Old Testament page on this website.
