To understand the Fit Man and the Scapegoat transaction, we need to take our minds back to the
time of ancient Israel, to see what was required by God of Israel in relationship to their annual Day of
Atonement. The Day of Atonement was observed by ancient Israel on the tenth day of their seventh
month originally called Ethanim, and later called Tishri which corresponds to September and
October of our calendar year. This was the day and the only day of the year when the high priest
went into the second apartment called the most holy place of the earthly sanctuary, where the Ark

of the Covenant, containing the Ten Commandments Gods Covenant was always placed, and
where Gods presence was manifested in the Shekinah Glory.

Christ Himself was the Lord of the temple. When He should leave it, its glory would depart that
glory once visible in the Holy of Holies over the mercy seat, where the high priest entered only
once a year, on the great Day of Atonement, with the blood of the slain victim (typifying the blood
of the Son of God shed for the sins of the whole world), and sprinkled it upon the altar. THIS
WAS THE SHEKINAH, THE VISIBLE PAVILION OF JEHOVAH. Bible Commentary Volume 4
1139

Beyond the second veil was the holy Shekinah, the visible manifestation of Gods glory, before
which none but the high priest could enter and live. Great Controversy 414

There, above the mercy seat, overshadowed by the wings of the cherubim, dwelt the Shekinah of
His glory, the perpetual token of His presence. That I May Know Him 101

ON THE TENTH DAY OF THIS SEVENTH MONTH there shall be A DAY OF ATONEMENT: it
shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall aict your souls, and oer an oering made
by re unto the LORD. And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is A DAY OF
ATONEMENT, to make an atonement for you before the LORD your God. For whatsoever soul it
be that shall not be aicted in that same day, he shall be cut o from among his people.Ye shall
do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your
dwellings. It shall be unto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall aict your souls: in the ninth day of
the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your Sabbath. Leviticus 23:27-29; 31,32

And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month
Ethanim, which is the seventh month. 1 Kings 8:2

The Jewish month Ethanim was called the month of gifts. After the 70 years exile in Babylon, it was
called TISHRI, and corresponds to part of our September, and part of our October. It was the rst
month of the Jewish civil year, and the seventh month of their ecclesiastical year. As you would
understand, the 10th day of the 7th month would fall on a dierent day of the week in every year
sometimes it would fall on the 1st day of the week, or the 5th day of the week, or the 3rd day of the
week, and on special occasions it would fall on and coincide with the normal 7th day of the week
the Sabbath. Whatever day of the week in each year on which the annual Day of Atonement fell that
day was regarded by the Jews as more sacred than any other day in their yearly round of religious
services. IT WAS ALWAYS KEPT AS A SABBATH DAY AND A FAST DAY NO MATTER ON
WHICH DAY OF THE WEEK IT FELL IN EACH YEAR. The Jewish name for the Day of Atonement
is Yom Kippur.

In the year 1997, the Day of Atonement the 10th day of Tishri fell on a regular 7th-day Sabbath,
and would have been recognized by the Jews as a High Day like a double Sabbath. On our
calendar, it corresponded to the 11th day of October 1997.

Because the Jews do not recognize B.C. or A.D. [through their rejection of Jesus as their promised
Messiah], the year 1997 was, to the Jews, the year 5758. In 1998, the 10th day of the 7th month [the
Day of Atonement] fell on Wednesday, the 30th day of September [in the Jewish year 5759]. That day
was observed as a Sabbath, even though it fell on a Wednesday. In the year 2000, the 10th day of the
Jewish 7th month Tishri fell on Monday, the 9th day of October in the Jewish year 5761. Even
though a Monday, that day was religiously observed by the Jews as a Sabbath.

So sacred is the day regarded, even at the present time, that, although the Jews have rejected
Christyet when the tenth day of the seventh month comes, no Jew will do any business or work
upon that day, however wicked he might be. S. N. Haskell, The Cross and Its Shadow, page 209

Gods people today, modern Israel, are no longer required to keep the Old Testament Day of
Atonement, but the Day of Atonement itself, and all the services and transactions that took place
upon that important and signicant day in Ancient Israel, have far-reaching lessons and instructions
from God to His people who are living in these last days of the earths history, just before Jesus
comes.

The Special Sin Offerings On The Day Of

Atonement

Thus shall Aaron come into the [Most] Holy place: with a young bullock for a sin oering, and a
ram for a burnt oering. He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches
upon his esh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle. And Aaron shall oer his bullock of the sin
oering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house. Leviticus
16:3,4,6

On the Day of Atonement the high priest also brought two goats to the door of the Tabernacle. Upon
these goats lots were cast to decide which one was to be sacriced for the Lord, and which was to
become the Scapegoat. The goat upon which the rst lot fell was slain as a sin oering for the people,
and represented Jesus. Its blood was carried into the Most Holy Place, and sprinkled by the high
priest with his nger upon the mercy seat above the tables of the Law, and before the mercy seat
seven times. The high priest then went into the First Apartment, or Holy Place, and touched the
horns of the golden altar of incense with the blood, and sprinkled the blood upon it with his nger
seven times. [Leviticus 16:18,19]

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin
oering.And he, Aaron, shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door
of the tabernacle of the congregation. AND AARON SHALL CAST LOTS UPON THE TWO
GOATS; ONE LOT FOR THE LORD, AND THE OTHER LOT FOR THE SCAPEGOAT. And
Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORDS lot fell, and oer him for a sin oering. 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.Then shall he kill the goat of the sin oering,
that is for the people, and bring his blood within the vail..and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and
before the mercy seat [in the Most Holy Place]And when he hath made an end of reconciling the
Holy Place, and the Tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar [of incense], HE SHALL BRING
THE LIVE GOAT, 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 [the t man] shall let go the goat in the wilderness. Leviticus 16:5-22

Once a year, on the great Day of Atonement, the priest entered the Most Holy Place for the
cleansing of the Sanctuary. The work there performed completed the yearly round of ministration.
On the Day of Atonement two kids of the goats were brought to the door of the tabernacle, and
lots were cast upon them, one lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the Scapegoat. The goat upon
which fell the lot for the Lord was to be slain as a sin oering for the people. And the priest was to
bring his blood within the veil and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat and before the mercy seat. The

blood was also to be sprinkled upon the altar of incense that was before the veil. 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, pu ing them upon the head of the
goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a t man into the wilderness: and the goat shall bear
upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited. The Scapegoat came no more into the
camp of Israel, and the man who led him away was required to wash himself and his clothing
with water before returning to the camp. Great Controversy 419

The Meaning Of This Transaction

Since Satan is the originator of sin, the direct instigator of all the sins that caused the death of the
Son of God, justice demands that Satan shall suer the nal punishment. Christs work for the
redemption of men and the purication of the universe from sin will be closed by the removal of
sin from the heavenly Sanctuary and the placing of these sins upon Satan, who will bear the nal
penalty. So in the typical service, the yearly round of ministration closed with the purication of
the Sanctuary, and the confessing of the sins on the head of the Scapegoat. Patriarchs and
Prophets 358

WHY SATAN WORKS SO HARD TO TEMPT, ATTACK, DISCOURAGE, AND DESTROY GODS
PEOPLE, AND TO KEEP AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE IN HIS OWN CAMP

Satan could still work against the government of God. It would be for his own interest to keep
from Jesus as many as possible. FOR THE SINS OF THOSE WHO ARE REDEEMED BY THE
BLOOD OF CHRIST WILL AT LAST BE ROLLED BACK UPON THE ORIGINATOR OF SIN,
AND HE MUST BEAR THEIR PUNISHMENT, WHILE THOSE WHO DO NOT ACCEPT
SALVATION THROUGH JESUS WILL SUFFER THE PENALTY OF THEIR OWN SINS. Early
Writings 178

The sins of the righteous having been transferred to Satan, he is made to suer not only for his
own rebellion, BUT FOR ALL THE SINS WHICH HE HAS CAUSED GODS PEOPLE TO
COMMIT. His punishment is to be far greater than that of those whom he has deceived. Great
Controversy 673

The rst goat, whose blood was shed as a sin oering, represented Jesus. The goat whose blood was
NOT shed the Scapegoat represented Satan. The sins of Israel were placed upon the Scapegoat
[Satan] by the High Priest [Jesus]. THE SINS OF ISRAEL WERE NOT PLACED UPON THE
SCAPEGOAT UNTIL THE MINISTRY IN THE SANCTUARY REPRESENTING THE WORK OF
JESUS AS OUR HIGH PRIEST IN THE HEAVENLY SANCTUARY WAS FINISHED. The Scapegoat
was then led into the wilderness to be forever separated from the congregation of Israel.

The mainline Protestant Churches believe and teach that the Scapegoat represents Jesus because it
had the sins of Israel placed upon its head. But the Scapegoat CANNOT represent Jesus Why?
BECAUSE THE SCAPEGOAT NEVER HAD ITS BLOOD SHED; Because the scapegoat was led away
into the wilderness; Because the scapegoat was to be forever separated from Israel; AND BECAUSE
THE SCAPEGOAT ONLY HAD THE SINS OF ISRAEL PLACED UPON IT AFTER THE YEARLY
WORK IN THE SANCTUARY WAS FINISHED.

Jesus shed His blood for the sinner. Jesus was never to be forever separated from the camp of Israel
as the Scapegoat was. The Scapegoat represents Satan not Jesus. Those who say that the Scapegoat

Fit Man and the Scapegoat | Sabbath Sermons http://sabbathsermons.com/2009/10/08/fit-man-and-the-scapegoat/

represents Jesus as their Saviour are unwi ingly worshipping Satan instead of Jesus.

AFTER the high priest had made an end of reconciling the Holy Place, and the Tabernacle of the
congregation, and the altar, he, in gure, took the sins of all the people upon himself and left the
Sanctuary. Anyone who had not confessed his sins at that time, was cut o from among his people.
In the Sanctuary service, this represented the nal close of probation.

Jesus did not die to immediately cancel sin, but His death upon Calvary opened up the way for God
to deal with sin. Jesus shed His blood, as was represented to Israel in the shed blood of the sacricial
oerings, so that a means might be provided to transfer sin to the Sanctuary. Jesus made an
atonement for the sinner, to release him, through repentance and confession and forgiveness, from
the guilt of sin, but He did not die to cancel the sin until the destruction of all sin and sinners in the
lake of re. The sin was to remain upon the Books of Record until the Final Atonement.

Important truths concerning the atonement are taught by the typical [Old Testament daily
services of the Sanctuary]. A substitute was accepted in the sinners stead; BUT THE SIN WAS
NOT CANCELLED BY THE BLOOD OF THE VICTIM. A means was thus provided by which it
was transferred to the Sanctuary. By the oering of blood the sinner acknowledged the authority
of the Law, confessed his guilt in transgression, and expressed his desire for pardon through faith
in a Redeemer to come; but he was not yet entirely released from the condemnation of the Law.
On the Day of Atonement the high priest, having taken an oering from the congregation, went
into the Most Holy Place with the blood of this oering, and sprinkled it upon the mercy seat,
directly over the Law, to make satisfaction for its claims. Then, in his character of mediator, he
took the sins upon himself and bore them from the Sanctuary. Placing his hands upon the head of
the Scapegoat, he confessed over him all these sins, thus in gure transferring them from himself
to the goat. The goat then bore them away, and they were regarded as forever separated from the
people. Great Controversy 420

The blood of Christ, while it was to release the repentant sinner from the condemnation of the
Law, was not to cancel the sin; it would stand on record in the Sanctuary until the nal atonement;
so in the type the blood of the sin oering removed the sin from the penitent, but it rested in the
Sanctuary until the Day of Atonement. Patriarchs and Prophets 357

Important truths concerning the atonement were taught the people by this yearly service [on the
Day of Atonement]. In the sin oerings presented during the year, a substitute had been accepted
in the sinners stead; but the blood of the victim had not made full atonement for [the blo ing out
of] the sin. It had only provided a means by which the sin was transferred to the Sanctuary. By the
oering of blood, the sinner acknowledged the authority of the Law, confessed the guilt of his
transgression, and expressed his faith in Him who was to take away the sin of the world; but he
was not entirely released from the condemnation of the Law. On the Day of Atonement the high
priest, having taken an oering for the congregation, went into the Most Holy Place with the
blood and sprinkled it upon the mercy seat, above the tables of the Law. Thus the claims of the
Law, which demanded the life of the sinner, were satised. Then in his character of mediator the
priest took the sins upon himself, and, leaving the Sanctuary, he bore with him the burden of
Israels guilt. At the door of the Tabernacle he laid his hands upon the head of the Scapegoat and
confessed over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all
their sins, pu ing them upon the head of the goat. And as the goat bearing these sins was sent
away, they were, with him, regarded as forever separated from the people. Such was the service
performed unto the example and shadow of heavenly things. Hebrews 8:5. Patriarchs and
Prophets 355,356

The Correct Teaching Of The Church Pioneers On

The Scapegoat Transaction

1:- From The Cross And Its Shadow 215,216 by S. N. Haskell

While Jesus pleads as our High Priest, there is hope for every repentant sinner; but when He at
last comes forth from the Sanctuary, mercys door will be forever closed. There will be no
Intercessor then. [This will be the nal Close of Probation] In the type, when the high priest came
out of the Sanctuary, he had made an end of reconciling. When our High Priest comes forth from
the Sanctuary, He will proclaim, He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is lthy,
let him be lthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let
him be holy still. Every case is decided for eternity. PROBATION IS FOREVER ENDED. ALL
WHO WAIT UNTIL THAT TIME, HOPING TO BE SAVED, WILL BE ETERNALLY LOST.

2:- From Bible Lessons page 139 [Church publication on Theology]

When Jesus will come forth from the heavenly Sanctuary and proclaims, He that is unjust, let
him be unjust still and he that is holy, let him be holy still. THEN HE WILL PLACE OUR SINS
UPON SATAN, THE SCAPEGOAT, the originator of all sin, AND SATAN WILL BEAR THE
FINAL PENALTY, rst upon this desolate wilderness earth during the thousand years when the
redeemed are in heaven, and at last in the lake of re.

3:- From The Cross And Its Shadow page 216 by S. N. Haskell

In the type, AFTER THE HIGH PRIEST had nished the work within the Sanctuary on the Day
of Atonement, he came forth bearing the sins of all Israel, and placed them upon the head of the
Scapegoat. THE SCAPEGOAT HAD NO PART IN RECONCILING THE PEOPLE TO GOD. THE
WORK OF RECONCILING WAS ALL ENDED WHEN THE SCAPEGOAT WAS BROUGHT
FORWARD TO ACT HIS PART IN THE SERVICE.

In the nal Judgment, Satan will bear his own sins, AND HE WILL ALSO BEAR, IN ADDITION TO
HIS OWN SINS, THE SINS OF ALL THE REDEEMED. The wicked, who have rejected Gods mercy
and Gods plan for their salvation through Jesus, will bear their own sins.

Any teaching that tries to show or suggest that Satan only bears HIS PART IN the sins of Gods
people, is a wrong teaching. Notice the wrong teaching that has now come into the Church:-

The Wrong New Theology Teaching On The

Scapegoat Transaction

From Questions on Doctrine pages 397,399

The other goat [the scapegoat] symbolized Satan, who must bear the responsibility not only for
his own sins BUT FOR HIS PART IN all the sins he has caused others, both righteous and wicked,

6 de 18 08/02/2016 20:42
Fit Man and the Scapegoat | Sabbath Sermons http://sabbathsermons.com/2009/10/08/fit-man-and-the-scapegoat/

to commit . The other goat [the Scapegoat], we believe, stood for Satan, who is eventually to have
rolled back upon his own head, not only his own sins, BUT THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR all the
sins he has caused others to commit.

This is contrary to Bible and Spirit of Prophecy teaching. Satans responsibility for, and his part in the
sins of others, are his own sins anyway. Satan must bear the nal punishment for his own sins, BUT
HE MUST ALSO BEAR THE FULL PUNISHMENT FOR ALL THE SINS OF THE REDEEMED, NOT
JUST HIS PART IN, OR HIS RESPONSIBILITY FOR, THOSE SINS.

In the Old Testament Sanctuary service, the Scapegoat did not have the sins OF THE WICKED placed
upon its head at all only the sins of those who had had their sins transferred to the Sanctuary,
through repentance and confession and acceptance of the sacrice provided to cleanse them from all
sin.

That is why Satan ghts so hard to keep the wicked in the broad road that leads to destruction, and
why he ghts so hard to have those who have accepted the sacrice of Jesus, to backslide again into
the broad road that leads to destruction.

That is why he ghts so hard to keep lost souls where they are, in a lost condition, and why he ghts
so hard to have those who do accept Jesus as their Saviour, to give up their allegiance to Him, or to
yield to their doubts and their discouragement, and to give up the ba le before Jesus nishes the
work for their salvation in the Heavenly Sanctuary, and before Jesus comes to claim them as His
own.

Satans Council With The Evil Angels

Satan held a council with his angels. He had prevailed nothing against the Son of God, and now
they must increase their eorts, and with their power and cunning turn to His followers. THEY
MUST PREVENT ALL WHOM THEY COULD FROM RECEIVING THE SALVATION
PURCHASED FOR THEM BY JESUS. By so doing Satan could still work against the government
of God. ALSO IT WOULD BE FOR HIS OWN INTEREST TO KEEP FROM JESUS AS MANY AS
POSSIBLE. FOR THE SINS OF THOSE WHO ARE REDEEMED BY THE BLOOD OF CHRIST
WILL AT LAST BE ROLLED BACK UPON THE ORIGINATOR OF SIN, AND HE MUST BEAR
THEIR PUNISHMENT, WHILE THOSE WHO DO NOT ACCEPT SALVATION THROUGH
JESUS WILL SUFFER THE PENALTY OF THEIR OWN SINS. Early Writings 178

For the sins of those who are redeemed by the blood of Christ, and overcome, at last will berolled
back upon the originator of sin, the Devil, and he will have to bear their sins, while those who do
not accept salvation through Jesus will bear their own sins. Spiritual Gifts Volume 1 61

When the ministration in the Holy of Holies had been completed, and the sins of Israel had been
removed from the Sanctuary by virtue of the blood of the sin oering, then the Scapegoat was
presented alive before the Lord; and in the presence of the congregation the high priest confessed
over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins,
pu ing them upon the head of the goat. [Leviticus 16:21]. In like manner, when the work of
atonement in the Heavenly Sanctuary has been completed, then in the presence of God and the
heavenly angels and the hosts of the redeemed, the sins of Gods people will be placed upon
Satan; and he will be declared guilty of all the evil which he has caused them to commit. AND AS
THE SCAPEGOAT WAS SENT AWAY INTO A LAND NOT INHABITED, SO SATAN WILL BE

BANISHED TO THE DESOLATE EARTH [for a 1000 years the millennium] AN

UNINHABITED AND DREARY WILDERNESS. Great Controversy 658

For a thousand years, Satan will wander to and fro on the desolate earth to behold the results of
his rebellion against the Law of God. During this time his suerings are intense. Since his fall his
life of unceasing activity has banished reection; but he is now deprived of his power and left to
contemplate the part which he has acted since rst he rebelled against the government of heaven,
and to look forward with trembling and terror to the dreadful future when he must suer for all
the evil that he has done and be punished for the sins that he has caused to be commi ed. Great
Controversy 660

The sins of the righteous having been transferred to Satan, he is made to suer not only for his
own rebellion, BUT FOR ALL THE SINS WHICH HE HAS CAUSED GODS PEOPLE TO
COMMIT. His punishment is to be far greater than that of those whom he has deceived. Great
Controversy 673

THE SINS OF GODS PEOPLE ARE PLACED ON THE SCAPEGOAT AFTER THE FINAL CLOSE
OF PROBATION

After the close of Jesus mediation, the saints were living in the sight of a holy God without an
Intercessor. Every case was decided, every jewel numbered. Jesus tarried a moment in the outer
apartment of the Heavenly Sanctuary, and the sins which had been confessed while He was in the
Most Holy Place were placed upon Satan, the originator of sin, who must suer their
punishment. Early Writings 280,281

As in the nal atonement the sins of the truly penitent are to be blo ed from the records of
heaven, no more to be remembered or come into mind, so in the type they were borne away into
the wilderness, forever separated from the congregation. Patriarchs and Prophets 358

At the last great day when the judgment shall sit and the books be opened, when every man shall be
judged according to the deeds done in the body the sins of Gods repentant, sanctied people shall
be heaped upon the Scapegoat, the originator of sin. Signs of the Times April 28 1890

THE WORK OF PREPARING TO PLACE THE SINS UPON THE SCAPEGOAT BEGINS WHEN
THE LATTER RAIN IS POURED OUT

When the Times of Refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord, THEN the sins of the
repentant soul who has received the grace of Christ and has overcome through the blood of the
Lamb, will be removed from the records of heaven, and will be placed upon Satan, the Scapegoat,
the originator of sin, and be remembered no more against him [the child of God] forever. 3
Selected Messages 355,356

PLACING THE SINS OF THE REDEEMED UPON THE SCAPEGOAT TAKES PLACE WHEN
JESUS HAS FINISHED HIS WORK IN THE SECOND APARTMENT OF THE HEAVENLY
SANCTUARY

While the sin oering pointed to Christ as a sacrice, and the high priest represented Christ as a
Mediator, the Scapegoat typied Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly
penitent will nally be placed. When the high priest, by virtue of the blood of the sin oering,
removed the sins from the Sanctuary, he placed them upon the Scapegoat. When Christ, by virtue
of His own blood, removes the sins of His people from the heavenly Sanctuary at the close of His
ministration, He will place them upon Satan, who, in the execution of the Judgment, must bear
the nal penalty. The Scapegoat was sent away into a land not inhabited, never to come again into
the congregation of Israel. SO WILL SATAN BE FOREVER BANISHED FROM THE PRESENCE

OF GOD AND HIS PEOPLE, AND HE WILL BE BLOTTED FROM EXISTENCE IN THE FINAL
DESTRUCTION OF SIN AND SINNERS. Great Controversy 422

SATAN WILL BEAR HIS OWN SINS AND THE SINS OF THE REDEEMED RIGHT THROUGH
UNTIL HE IS DESTROYED IN THE LAKE OF FIRE

As the priest, in removing the sins from the Sanctuary, confessed them upon the head of the
Scapegoat, so Christ will place all these sins upon Satan, the originator and instigator of sin. The
Scapegoat, bearing the sins of Israel, was sent away unto a land not inhabited. (Leviticus 16:22);
so Satan, bearing the guilt of all the sins which he has caused Gods people to commit, will be for
a thousand years conned to the earth, which will then be desolate, without inhabitant, and he
will at last suer the full penalty of sin in the res that shall destroy all the wicked. Great

Fire from God out of Heaven is rained upon themSatan and his angels suered long. Satanbore
not only the weight and punishment of his own sins, but also of the sins of the redeemed host,
which had been placed upon him; and he must also suer for the ruin of souls which he had
caused. Early Writings 294,295

SATANS CHARGE AGAINST GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN THAT GODS LAW CANNOT BE
KEPT, AND THAT EVEN ISRAEL COULD NOT KEEP IT

Satan worked to discourage the people, to lower their conception of the character of God, and to
bring the faith of Israel into contempt. He hoped to establish the claim put forth when he rebelled
in heaven that the requirements of God were unjust, and could not be obeyed. Even Israel, he
declared, did not keep the Law. Desire of Ages 29

Satan represents Gods Law of love as a Law of selshness. He declares that it is impossible forus
to obey its precepts. Desire of Ages 24

By His own obedience to the Law, Christ testied to its immutable character and proved that
through His grace it could be perfectly obeyed by every son and daughter of Adam. Mount of
Blessing 49

He was tempted in all points like as we are. He redeemed Adams disgraceful failure and fall,and
was conqueror, thus testifying to all the unfallen worlds and to fallen humanity that man could
keep the commandments of God through the divine power granted to him of heaven. Selected

One honoured of all heaven came to this world to stand in human nature at the head ofhumanity,
testifying to the fallen angels and to the inhabitants of the unfallen worlds that through the
divine help which has been provided, every one may walk in the path of obedience to Gods
commands. The Son of God died for those who had no claim on His love. For us He suered all
that Satan could bring against Him. Selected Messages Book 1 309

We are ever to be thankful that Jesus has proved to us by actual facts that man can keep the
commandments of God, giving contradiction to Satans falsehood that man cannot keep them.

WHO, THEN, IS REPRESENTED BY THE FIT MAN, WHO LEADS THE SCAPEGOAT AWAY
SAFELY, WITHOUT ESCAPING, INTO THE WILDERNESS?

After the sins had been placed upon the Scapegoat, the Scriptures say that the Scapegoat had to be
led away by the hand of a Fit Man into the wilderness. This Fit Man was NOT the High Priest. The
High Priest represented Jesus, therefore the Fit Man to lead the Scapegoat away is not Jesus. The Fit
Man was one chosen from the children of Israel, and he carried the heavy responsibility of making
sure that the Scapegoat did not escape until it was safely taken away into the wilderness. As the
Scapegoat was being led away, it would naturally make a mighty struggle to escape, yet it could not

escape, because it was held fast by the chosen Fit Man.

The Fit Man at the end is the angel Revelation 20:1-2;

20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bo omless pit and a great
chain in his hand.

20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years,

The 144,000, who will be a special company of people living upon this earth, who have been able
to do what others before them have not been able to do, and who will be a company of Gods
people who will be wondered at for what they have done.

THE SPECIAL EXPERIENCE OF THE 144,000 GROUP

The 144,000 are those of Gods people right around the world who enter by faith into the Second
Apartment the Most Holy Place of the Heavenly Sanctuary by faith with Jesus into the
Judgment of the Living to have their sins blo ed out, and to receive the Seal of God in their
foreheads. They will have passed the Final Test of the Sunday Legislation, and will be the ones who
have the Holy Spirit poured out upon them in mighty power, to benet from and to participate in the
La er Rain, and the Loud Cry of the Third Angels Message when it takes place.

As the people of God aict their souls before Him, pleading for purity of heart, the command is
given, Take away the lthy garments from them, and the encouraging words are spoken, Behold,
I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. [The
Blo ing out of their sins] The spotless robe of Christs righteousness is placed upon the tried,
tempted, yet faithful children of God. THE DESPISED REMNANT ARE CLOTHED IN
GLORIOUS APPAREL, NEVERMORE TO BE DEFILED BY THE CORRUPTIONS OF THE
WORLD. Their names are retained in the Lambs Book of Life, enrolled among the faithful of all
ages. They have resisted the wiles of the deceiver; they have not been turned from their loyalty by
the dragons roar [the Sunday Legislation]. NOW THEY ARE ETERNALLY SECURE FROM THE
TEMPTERS DEVICES [through the special experience of having had their sins blo ed out, in
order to receive the Seal of God in their foreheads]. THEIR SINS ARE TRANSFERRED TO THE
ORIGINATOR OF SIN [the Scapegoat transaction, of having their sins placed upon the head of
the scapegoat while they are still alive]. And the remnant are not only pardoned and accepted, but
honoured [because of having passed through this special experience]. A fair mitre is set upon
their heads. They are to be as kings and priests unto God. WHILE SATAN WAS URGING HIS
ACCUSATIONS AND SEEKING TO DESTROY THIS COMPANY, HOLY ANGELS, UNSEEN,
WERE PASSING TO AND FRO, PLACING UPON THEM THE SEAL OF THE LIVING GOD
[having the mark or seal of God on their foreheads]. These are they that stand upon Mount Zion
with the Lamb, having the Fathers name wri en in their foreheads [the seal]. They sing the new
song before the Throne, that song which no man can learn save the hundred and forty and four
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. [Only the 144,000 can sing that song] These are
they which follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth. [They have followed the Lamb, their High
Priest Jesus into the Most Holy Place, by faith, to receive the Judgment of the Living
experience]. These were redeemed from among men, being the rst fruits unto God and to the
Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the Throne of
God. [A text in Revelation that applies to the 144,000] Now is reached the complete fulllment of
those words of the Angel: Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit
before thee: FOR THEY ARE MEN WONDERED AT: for, behold, I will bring forth My servant the
Branch. [The Second Advent of Jesus]. Christ is revealed as the Redeemer and Deliverer of His
people. Now indeed are the remnant men wondered at, as the tears and humiliation of their

pilgrimage give place to joy and honour in the presence of God and the Lamb. In that day shall
the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and
comely for them that are escaped of Israel. And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion,
and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone that is wri en among the
living in Jerusalem. [The nal Translation Group the 144,000]. Testimonies Volume Five
475,476

The image of the beast [the Sunday Legislation] will be formed before probation closes; for it is
to be the great test for the people of God, by which their eternal destiny will be decided.THIS
IS THE TEST THAT THE PEOPLE OF GOD MUST HAVE BEFORE THEY ARE SEALED. ALL
who prove their loyalty to God by observing His Law, and refusing to accept a spurious sabbath,
will rank under the banner of the Lord God Jehovah, AND WILL RECEIVE THE SEAL OF THE
LIVING GOD. Those who yield the truth of heavenly origin and accept the Sunday sabbath, will
receive the mark of the beast. Bible Commentary Volume 7 976

And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with Him an hundred forty and four
thousand, having His Fathers name wri en in their foreheads. And they sung as it were a new
song before the Throneand no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four
thousand, which were redeemed from the earth. These are they which follow the Lamb
whithersoever He goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the rstfruits unto God
and to the Lamb. And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the
Throne of God. Revelation 14:1-5

I also saw that many do not realize what they must be in order to live in the sight of the Lord
without a High Priest in the Sanctuary through the Time of Trouble. Those who receive the Seal
of the living God and are protected in the Time of Trouble must reect the image of Jesus fully.
Early Writings 71

SATANS CHARGE AGAINST GOD

All through the ages, those who have become followers of God have sometimes, and even many
times in their experience, fallen under Satans temptations, and have needed to go to God with tears
of repentance, to seek His forgiveness for their sins.

Because of this, Satan still challenges God by saying :- I concede that Jesus defeated me. He kept the
Law of God. I must admit that Jesus kept it. But where are Thy people who WILL keep it, or CAN
keep it? You cover your people with the garments of your righteousness, but every now and again
they commit sin, and they fall. I still claim that your Law is unjust and impossible to keep. Where is
there a people who CAN and WILL keep the Law of God perfectly, as Jesus did without ever
breaking it?

And the whole universe of God the angels and the inhabitants of all the unfallen worlds need to
be totally reassured that, when God accepts all the redeemed into Heaven, that not one of them will
EVER fall back into sin again throughout all eternity. Some of that number have even accepted
Jesus as their Saviour in the 11th hour of their lives, and some even on their sickbeds, just before
dying. What about the thief on the cross? If some of these nal subjects of Gods kingdom had been
able to continue living for a few more years, they might very well have fallen into sin through
temptation, and needed to be forgiven by God.

So God says to all His loyal and unfallen subjects relating to Satans charges:- I will produce a
people who will prove that Satan is wrong a people who will demonstrate that, right throughout all
eternity, not one of My redeemed ones will ever fall into sin. SIN WILL NOT RISE UP THE SECOND
TIME. I will produce these people in the most degenerate age of this fallen worlds history.

Fit Man and the Scapegoat | Sabbath Sermons http://sabbathsermons.com/2009/10/08/fit-man-and-the-scapegoat/

God says: I will blot out their sins and place My seal upon them. They will reect the image of Jesus
fully. I will step out of the Sanctuary, and they will live in the sight of God without a Mediator or
Intercessor. They will go through the severest test that could be put to them the nal Time of
Trouble such as never was since there was a nation, with Satan and all his hosts, and all the wicked of
the earth against them. Through this company of special people which I Myself have chosen to call
the 144,000, Satan will be forever defeated.

It is just as if God says to Satan, as He said to Satan of Job Here are My people, Satan. Do with them
as you wish, only you cannot take their lives. It will seem as if God has hidden Himself from them,
as they pass through the period known as the Time of Jacobs Trouble. They will be put through
every trial that Satan could ever devise against them. They will seem to be shut out from Gods
presence and they have no Intercessor in the Sanctuary. Satan has full charge of the world, and the
wicked join with all the legions of darkness, to come against Gods people, even with a death decree,
to try to overthrow them and destroy them. Oh, if Satan could lead one of the 144,000 into sin, after
the nal close of probation if he could lead just one of them to depart in the least particular from
keeping Gods Law, he would triumph.

THE MIGHTY STRUGGLE OF THE SCAPEGOAT TO ESCAPE

Then I saw that Jesus work in the Sanctuary will soon be nished. And after His work there is
nished, He will come to the door of the rst apartment, and confess the sins of Israel upon the
head of the Scapegoat. Then He will put on the garments of vengeance. Then the plagues will
come upon the wicked, and they do not come till Jesus puts on that garment, and takes His place
upon the great white cloud. THEN WHILE THE PLAGUES ARE FALLING, THE SCAPEGOAT IS
BEING LED AWAY. HE MAKES A MIGHTY STRUGGLE TO ESCAPE, BUT HE IS HELD FAST
BY THE HAND THAT LEADS HIM. IF HE SHOULD EFFECT HIS ESCAPE, ISRAEL WOULD
LOSE THEIR LIVES. I saw that it would take time to lead away the Scapegoat into the land of
forgetfulness after the sins were put on his head. Spalding and Magan Collection page 2 An
Early Vision, Dorchester, Maine, October 23 1850

This explains why there must be a nal Time of Trouble before Jesus comes.

Dierent times were repeatedly set for the Lord to come and were urged upon the brethren; but
the Lord showed me that they would all pass by, for the Time of Trouble MUST come before the
coming of Christ. Early Writings 22

WHY ALL ISRAEL WOULD BE LOST

Since the Law of the Lord is perfect, every variation from it must be evil. Those who disobey the
Commandments of God, and teach others to do so, are condemned by Christ. The Saviours life of
obedience maintained the claims of the Law; it proved that the Law could be kept in humanity,
and showed the excellence of character that obedience would develop. All who obey as He did are
likewise declaring that the Law is holy, and just, and good. Romans 7:12. On the other hand, all
who break Gods Commandments are sustaining Satans claim that the Law is unjust, and cannot
be obeyed. Thus they second the deceptions of the great adversary, and cast dishonour upon God.
They are the children of the wicked one, who was the rst rebel against Gods Law. To admit them
into heaven would again bring in the elements of discord and rebellion, and imperil the
well-being of the universe. No man who willfully disregards one principle of the Law shall enter
the kingdom of heaven. Desire of Ages 308,309

If the Scapegoat should escape, all Israel would lose their lives, not just the 144,000. God is waiting
for a people through whom He can demonstrate that all of Satans charges are false. God is going to
risk everything upon the 144,000, for if the Scapegoat should escape, the Plan of Salvation would be

Fit Man and the Scapegoat | Sabbath Sermons http://sabbathsermons.com/2009/10/08/fit-man-and-the-scapegoat/

proved to be insucient, and Satans accusations would prove to be justied.

What a tremendous responsibility rests upon the 144,000. No wonder they go through such anguish
during the Time of Trouble, and the Time of Jacobs Trouble. It is not that they fear that they
themselves might lose their lives, for they would not shrink even from torture or from death. They
will reach the place where they would, for the sake of others, even gladly sacrice their own lives.
They would be prepared to sacrice everything, as did Jesus before them. But there is one thing they
fear they fear that they will bring disgrace to Gods eternal Throne, and to the One they love, who
sits upon that Throne.

In the Plan of Redemption, Jesus not only demonstrates to all the unfallen angels and the unfallen
worlds His wonderful redeeming love, and the immutability of His Law, but He also gives them an
everlasting assurance that, having seen the results of Satans rebellion and downfall, and the results
of his lying charges against Gods government and against Gods Law of love THAT SIN WILL
NEVER RISE UP THE SECOND TIME, RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE CEASELESS AGES OF
ETERNITY. The unfallen angels and the inhabitants of all the unfallen worlds could not perhaps be
sure that those who have died, when raised, would not fall again. Many of these, if they had
continued living instead of dying when they did, might still have fallen and sinned and needed
forgiveness, before they eventually did die. But God is going to have, right in the very end of time,
and under the very worst and most trying conditions, and just before Jesus comes, a demonstration
that there will be a people who WILL be able to live through the worst Time of Trouble this world
has ever seen, WITHOUT A MEDIATOR BY BEING KEPT BY GODS POWER ALONE TO KEEP
HIS LAW, without sinning, through that time. This will be Gods demonstration to all the universe
that SIN WILL NEVER RISE UP THE SECOND TIME. THESE PEOPLE, THE 144,000 WHO GO
THROUGH THE FINAL TIME OF TROUBLE WITHOUT A MEDIATOR, become the Fit Man who
holds fast the Scapegoat that it does not escape from the time that Jesus places the sins of Israel
upon Satans head right through until Jesus comes when Satan is nally led away and banished
to the wilderness of this desolate earth for the 1000 years the Millennium.

During the Time of Trouble, God allows Satan to try His people to the utmost just as He allowed
Satan to try Job, but without taking their lives. Satan will do everything within his power to hurt,
and tempt, and persecute Gods people, even by bringing the whole world against them, causing
them terrible mental and physical anguish and suering, all in his endeavour to try to cause them to
sin. In this way he makes a mighty struggle to escape but he will be held fast by the hand that leads
him. Although Gods people go through a time of terrible anguish, described as the time of Jacobs
trouble, yet they are eternally secure from the tempters devices, AND THEY WILL NOT WANT
TO, NOR WILL THEY SIN during that time. If they did, then Satans charges that man cannot keep
Gods Law would be shown to be correct. But the Scapegoat is held fast by the hand that leads
him. And when the ba le is nally nished, and Satan, the Scapegoat, is led into the wilderness,
NEVERMORE TO COME INTO THE CAMP OF ISRAEL, then there will be shouts of triumph from
not only the redeemed, but from all the angels, and from all the inhabitants of the unfallen worlds.

THE 144,000 WILL BE THE TEST PEOPLE WHO WILL DEMONSTRATE TO THE
SATISFACTION OF THE WHOLE UNIVERSE THAT GODS POWER CAN KEEP ALL THE
REDEEMED FROM FALLING

They show that there is a spiritual power that CAN enable men and women not to swerve aninch

sometimes be experienced. So what do they do, before the rst text ight takes place. They put that
aircraft into a test tunnel, while it is still on the ground, and subject it to wind and turbulence forces
many times exceeding that which it will ever meet under all and every ying condition in the air. If
the plane passes that rigid wind-tunnel test, it is ready to be produced and own with the precious
lives of others entrusted to it.

The 144,000 are like that Gods test-tunnel company, who, after probation is closed and they have to
live without a Mediator in the Heavenly Sanctuary, they are put through Gods test-tunnel
experience of the nal Time of Trouble, to show that they can withstand the ercest a acks of Satan
and his followers, and not sin or break Gods Law under the most extreme test in thought, word, or
deed. They will prove that, through the strength of God, and the height and depth of their own
special Christian experience, they are eternally secure from the tempters devices. All the rest of the
Redeemed will never fall throughout all eternity, because the 144,000 have never fallen through their
nal and supreme test of the Time of Trouble experience.

The 144,000 will demonstrate that There is no power in the whole satanic force that can disable
the soul that trusts, in simple condence, in the wisdom that comes from God. Sons and
Daughters of God, 91

Through this special company, the 144,000. God will demonstrate that His Word is true that says:-
I can do ALL things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Philippians 4:13

Through the 144,000 God will demonstrate the eternal truth that:- The life that Christ lived in this
world, men and women CAN live through His power and under His instruction. 9 Testimonies 22

In and through the 144,000.God will have a people zealous of good works, standing rm amid
the pollutions of this degenerate age. There will be a people who hold so fast to the divine
strength that they will be proof against every temptation. Evil communications in aming
handbills may seek to speak to their senses and corrupt their minds; yet they will be so united to
God and angels that they will be as those who see not and hear not. Testimonies Volume Three

I heard shouts of triumph from the angels and from the redeemed saints, which sounded like ten
thousand musical instruments, BECAUSE THEY WERE TO BE NO MORE ANNOYED AND

No wonder the counsel to all of us today is:- Let us strive with all the power that God has givenus
to be among the hundred and forty-four thousand. Bible Commentary Volume 7 970

This special experience and work of the 144,000 explains why they will be a people wondered at, and
will enjoy special privileges in the Kingdom of God.

The people of God bruise Satans head but they dont bind Satan in the wilderness correct;

Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

The prediction given in Eden refers in a special manner to Christ, and to all who accept and
confess Him as the only bego en Son of God. Christ has pledged Himself to engage in the conict
with the prince and power of darkness and bruise the serpents head, and all who are the sons of
God are His chosen ones, His soldiers, to war against principalities and powers, against the rulers
of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. It is an unwearied
conict of which there is to be no end, until Christ shall come the second time without sin unto
salvation to destroy him who has destroyed so many souls through his masterly deceiving power.
{9MR 108.2}

The people together with Christ who would end enter in this conict from Adam and Eve
through to the coming of Jesus.
The bible identies the nal bruising of Satans head.
Romans 16:20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our
Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.

What did Apostle Paul speak of? The prophecy. The God of peace shall bruise Satan under YOUR
feet. Whose feet? The soldiers of Christ so that they become amalgamated with him seed singular.
Seed meaning one. Jesus his body, his remnant church.

To us has been given the privilege of laying up treasure in heaven. This we may do by following
Christ. He came to our world to demonstrate to the universe that man, his eyes xed upon God,
can be an overcomer. Thus was fullled the promise that the seed of the woman should bruise the
serpents head. Christ humiliated Himself to stand at the head of humanity, that we might be
heirs to an immortal inheritance in the kingdom of glory.

Revelation also says an angel bounds Satan in the wilderness;

Revelation 20:1 And I saw an angel come down from heaven, having the key of the bo omless pit
and a great chain in his hand.
20:2 And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound
him a thousand years,
20:3 And cast him into the bo omless pit, and shut him up, and set a seal upon him, that he
should deceive the nations no more, till the thousand years should be fullled: and after that he
must be loosed a li le season.
Here is the grand climax of the bruising of Satans head which is an ongoing conict as we just
read between Christ and his soldiers and between Satan and his seed. I will lay thee before
kings the bruising of Satans head took place at the cross but it wasnt completed.

can the fact that it was said that the t represent the 144000 be proven in scripture. We should be
careful when we interpret scripture lest we make errors. please note that everything around the
