BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE EXPLAINED
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE QUEST
When Jesus came to John the Baptist, to be baptized, John said:
|
John
1:29
Behold the
Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. |
Jesus was to be
baptized of John, but John did not want to at first:
|
Matthew 3:13-15
But John
forbad Him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and
comest thou to me? And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer
it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to fulfil all
righteousness. Then he suffered Him.
|
What did Jesus
mean when He said fulfil all righteousness?
Jesus was
referring to an event known as the Day of Atonement:
|
Leviticus 16: 9-10
And Aaron (Levite priest) shall bring the goat upon
which the LORD's lot fell, and offer him for a sin
offering. But the goat, on which the lot fell to be
the SCAPEGOAT, shall be presented alive before the
LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him
go for a scapegoat into the wilderness. |
|
Leviticus 16: 21-22
And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of
the live goat, and confess over him all the
iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their
transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon
the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the
hand of a fit man into the wilderness: And the goat
shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land
not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the
wilderness. |
What is
scapegoat?
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE TRUTH
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE FORThe
word scapegoat in Biblical terms was a goat that was
selected by the Lord (By casting lots) to atone for the
people’s sins and was sent into the wilderness. The word
"scapegoat" has come to mean a person who was innocent but
blamed and punished for the sins, crimes.
Ever
been used as someone’s scapegoat?
MOST HAVE
Ever
CHOSE to be someone’s scapegoat?
MOST WOULD NOT
Jesus
DID CHOOSE to be the scapegoat for our sins:
|
John 10:17
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down
my life, that I might take it again. |
So,
Jesus was telling John that they had to fulfil all
righteousness by keeping with the day of Atonement ritual.
This day of Atonement ritual was a merely a shadow of a very
important event come.
|
Hebrews 10:1
For the law having a shadow of good things to come,
and not the very image of the things, can never with
those sacrifices which they offered year by year
continually make the comers thereunto perfect. |
So, if this event
is a shadow of an event in the future, what event is it the
shadow of?
Just as
John had stated:
|
John 1:29
Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of
the world ... |
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE FACTS
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE PURPOSEJesus
was now the scapegoat for the sins of the people and was to
be sent into the wilderness.
The 40 day
temptation of Jesus in the Wilderness just after His Baptism
by John.
Most know about
Jesus being tempted in the wilderness by the enemy of our
soul ... Satan:
|
Matthew 4:1-2
Then was Jesus LED UP OF THE SPIRIT INTO THE
WILDERNESS to be tempted of the devil. And when He
had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was
afterward an hungred. |
During the temptation of Jesus by satan, Jesus rebuked satan
for one of the temptations by sharing TRUTH.
|
Matthew 4:3-4
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou
be the Son of God, command that these stones be made
bread. But He (Jesus) answered and said, It is
written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by
every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. |
Jesus was quoting
Scripture ...
|
Deuteronomy 8:3
And He (God) HUMBLED thee (Israelites), and
suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna,
which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers
know; that He might make thee know that MAN DOTH NOT
LIVE BY BREAD ONLY, BUT BY EVERY WORD THAT
PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE LORD doth man
live. |
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE CONCERN
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE WARNINGGod HUMBLED the
Israelites ...
What does it mean
to be humble?
Jesus shared a
parable of humility versus pride. Check this out:
|
Luke 18:10-14
Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a
Pharisee, and the other a publican. The Pharisee
stood and prayed thus with himself, God, I thank
thee, that I am not as other men are, extortioners,
unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. I fast
twice in the week, I give tithes of all that I
possess. And the publican, standing afar off, would
not lift up so much as his eyes unto heaven, but
smote upon his breast, saying, God be merciful to me
a sinner. I tell you, this man went down to his
house justified rather than the other: for every one
that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that
humbleth himself shall be exalted. |
Let’s look at
what occurred next:
|
Luke 18:15-17
And they brought unto Him also infants, that He
would touch them: but when His disciples saw it,
they rebuked them. But Jesus called them unto Him,
and said, Suffer little children to come unto me,
and forbid them not: for of such is the Kingdom of
God. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not
receive the Kingdom of God as a little child shall
in no wise enter therein. |
We must choose to HUMBLE ourselves as a
child.
|
Matthew 18:4
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this
little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of
heaven. |
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE HOPE
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE BLESSINGThe Bible is
CLEAR that we are to be humble.
|
Proverbs 18:12
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty,
and before honour is humility. |
|
Proverbs 22:4
By humility and the fear of the LORD are riches,
and honour, and life. |
|
Proverbs 29:23
A
man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall
uphold the humble in spirit. |
|
Matthew 23:12
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased;
and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. |
|
James 4:6
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God
resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the
humble. |
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE DETAILS
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE DANGERSo, Why are we to
be humble?
Is humility not a
path to honor?
And if we ever
get too haughty ...
What we deem as
trials and tribulation are in fact the fruits of God trying
to humble us so He can honor us later.
Jesus endured
trials and tribulation and was humbled for our sake. He
CHOSE to become a scapegoat for the sins of all and that
includes YOU and I. He did so cuz He LOVES us so very much.
So, the next time
you are in the WILDERNESS experiencing temptations, trials
and tribulations thereby testing your Faith, just remember
what Jesus did when He was enduring His wilderness
temptations ...
Tell YOU the
TRUTH of the POWER of the WORD of God.
IMPORTANT NOTE ...
Many feel that
because satan is the enemy of our souls that we can go
around mocking and cursing him.
HOWEVER ...
The Bible is
CLEAR on this matter:
|
2 Peter 2:10-11
But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the
lust of uncleanness, and despise government.
Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not
afraid to speak evil of dignities. Whereas angels,
which are greater in power and might, bring not
railing accusation against them before the Lord. |
The
wording of these scriptures does not reflect the resistance
of mankind against human government ... But rather mankind
speaking against supernatural powers and authority.
This is proven
when it says ANGELS fear to bring accusation against
these "dignities" ...
BIBLICAL SCAPEGOAT BIBLE VERSE LESSON
WHAT IS A SCAPEGOAT IN THE BIBLE REWARDThe book of Jude
further explains ...
|
Jude 1:8-9
Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the
flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of
dignities. Yet Michael the archangel,
when contending with the devil
he disputed about the body of Moses,
durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee. |
Even
archangels know it is the LORD’S Power which sends Satan
packing. So, RESIST the enemy of your soul by submitting
yourself to GOD and he WILL bail:
|
James 4:7
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the
devil, and he will flee from you. |
OVERCOME the enemy by becoming and remaining HUMBLE and
allowing GOD to judge all matters and for HIM to take
vengeance as HE sees fit.
|
Romans 12:21
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with
good. |
Jesus overcame
the enemy of our soul by use of HUMILITY by becoming a
scapegoat for our sins and now ...
He has honor.
|
Proverbs 15:33
The
fear of the LORD is the instruction of wisdom; and
before honour is humility. |
We should choose
the same path:
