sanctuary, and laying both his hands on the head of the<br />
scapegoat, held in waiting at the door, confessed over him<br />
"all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all<br />
their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon<br />
the head of the goat." Lev. 16:21. This is a plain statement<br />
that the sins taken from the sanctuary were transferred<br />
to the goat. The goat, with these sins upon him, was<br />
then by the hand of a suitable person sent away into the<br />
wilderness, into a land not inhabited implying, probably,<br />
the destruction of the goat, in the death of which the sins<br />
of the people which he bore also perished. p. 257, Para.<br />
1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />
The ceremony of thus sending away the sins of the people<br />
in the type (Lev. 16:20-22) has already been noticed. The<br />
question now arises, What service in the real ministry of<br />
Christ, in the more perfect tabernacle above, answers to<br />
this, and how is it to be performed? p. 257, Para. 2,<br />
[<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />
The principal question here to be decided is, What being<br />
shall we regard as the antitypical scapegoat? When the<br />
typical goat, anciently loaded with the sins of the people,<br />
went forth from the camp of Israel, to be heard of no more<br />
forever, what did it foreshadow to be fulfilled in this<br />
dispensation? Here again we are led to depart very materially<br />
from the views which have obtained on this subject.<br />
p. 257, Para. 3, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />
The idea very generally held is that the scapegoat typified<br />
Christ. Because John the Baptist said (John 1:29),<br />
"Behold the Lamb of God which taketh {margin, beareth} away<br />
the sin of the world," and because it is said of the scapegoat<br />
that he "shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto<br />
a land not inhabited," it is, without further thought, concluded<br />
by some that the latter was a type of the former.<br />
p. 258, Para. 1, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />
From such a view we must dissent, for the following reasons:--<br />
p. 258, Para. 2, [<strong>LOOK<strong>IN</strong>G</strong>].<br />
1. If Christ, in bearing the sin of the world, fulfilled<br />
the antitype of the scapegoat, he must have filled this office<br />
at the time of the crucifixion: for Peter says of him,<br />
"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the<br />
tree" (1 Pet. 2:24); and this is the only time when, and<br />
the only sense in which, he is said to have borne our sins.
