Dan: Okay. For those of us in the Byzantine rite of the Orthodox Church, which is most Orthodox Christians, this last Sunday was the Sunday of the Last Judgment, in which we heard Matthew 25, where we heard that sheep go to heaven and goats go to hell. The fact that some of the most exciting work done in the Second Temple context to the New Testament is being undertaken by non-orthodox scholars like N.T. Okay, so how does? Fr. Fr. Indeed, under the Law, almost everything is purified with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins. That last part, of course, often gets quoted out of context. And where does that actually first show up? [Laughter]. And you just said the camp, and theres the wilderness out there. Theres a text variant there as to whether it says monon or monn. So, the sort of subsidiary meanings then of cover, number one, if definition of kefir verbs is cover, then your secondary ones would be like wipe or smear. If youre covering something with something else, like if youre going to cover your roof with pitch or what have you, you would wipe it or smear it in order to cover it; cover a wall with paint. Fr. That was bad for you! [Laughter] Yeah, so Azazel is caught up in all this. Stephen, where is that word from? Andrew: Yeah, like the altar has be reconciled to God? Fr. Stephen: Let me throw you one quick correction here. Fr. The goat is notthis goat is not punished or abused in any way. No, I know what youre saying. So not only for our sins, which are taken away, but for the whole world, which is now purified and made holy and sacred, first in potency, first, as with everything eschatological, this is happening in real time, like we talked about in our Halloween episode, but this will ultimately come to fruition, then, in the new heavens and the new earth, just as, right now the evil one is bound and in a hole, and hell be chucked in the lake of fire then at that latter point. Its about the reality of when the rubber meets the road and how each of us approaches our Christian life. Andrew: Yeah, so its an interesting point because what is St. Matthew doing? Fr. And whats interesting there is people may know that these angelic names that end in -elEl is Godso Gabriel is Gibor-el, the mighty man of God; Michael is Micha-el: who is like God. Andrew: I know.

It is good. And so it intrudes into the camp or into Israel or into sort of a renewed anti-typal Eden. You take it back.. Fr. What is the word, the Greek word, thats translated by atone or atonement? Stephen: Antiochus IVEpiphanes was not his last name. And St. John picks up pieces of this verse; elements of this idea form part of the structure of the book of 1 John. Thats just a good guiding principle here, super, super important; makes all these references to atonement in the New Testament make a lot more sense. And I was going to say, I want to give a shout-out. Andrew: Yeah, so he goes in, and he doesnt see an idol in there, and hes like: Well, what the heck? [Laughter] He actually busts his way into the holy of holies, so the Temple has to be reconsecrated. Stephen: Right, and this is the only sacrificial ritual of any kind in the Torah in which sins are placed on an animal. Andrew Stephen Damick and Fr. Stephen: It makes you wonder if that was a practicality, like, if a high priest dropped dead at some point, and everybody was kind of like, What do we do and how do we prevent this from happening in the future?, Fr. Fr. So the first thing the high priest has to do is he has to, in order to prepare to enter the space, offer a whole ton of incensenot a little, not one scoop. Okay, perfect example; this is probably the classic example: Matthew 27:25, where the people say in response to Pilate, His blood be upon us and upon our children. Now, given everything we just said about the blood of the goat, and given everything you should know if youre a Christian about what the blood of Christ does, if his blood is upon you, thats actually good. Stephen De Young's Bible Studies, thank you for your patience. Like, no ones ever going to call it the Day of Purgation; it just doesnt have a ring to it.
