GOD'S "SACRED SECRET" REVEALED IN THE "SCAPEGOAT" COVENANT
(A Close Analysis of Leviticus 16:10)[/size]

In the most magnificent way, Jehovah accomplishes all things thru the precious blood of Jesus Christ. This is especially true of the mysterious "Scapegoat" Sacrifice that Jehovah has prepared for modern day "Israel" of our time, to cleanse them of heinous sin. Therefore, as we consider this written material, let's keep uppermost in mind that our discovery of these unthinkable, "incomprehensible" thoughts, and "peering" into this matter is only by the Divine Permission of Jehovah God Himself -- this "peering" into matters that even angels wish to, yes this very, very deep matter of the Sacred Secret of the "Scapegoat" Covenant. This unknown covenant is something that has been hidden from mankind and even angels in heaven for untold centuries...millenniums even. Thus, it becomes the Greatest of All "Sacred Secrets" from God Almighty Himself, withheld from mankind itself since mankind's creation. Yes, a "Sacred Secret" so great, so powerful, that when fully understood and comprehended by mankind in general, it will completely revolutionize the way mankind thinks of Genesis 3:15 and what God intended originally, in the Garden of Eden when he uttered this most important prophecy and its outworking for our day and time. Let us read on to see why we say this is so. -- Jeremiah 33:3; Ephesians 3:9; James 1:25; 1 Peter 1:12

Jeremiah 33:3 says for our benefit:

"Call to me, and I shall answer you and readily tell you great and incomprehensible things that YOU HAVE NOT KNOWN."

Yes, to be sure, one of the most amazing verses in the bible which speaks of "great," and "incomprehensible things" that mankind has NOT known of before, all hidden within the Holy Scriptures themselves for thousands of years, millenniums, can be found below at Leviticus 16:10. This verse plainly says:

"But the goat over which the lot came up for Azazel should be stood alive before Jehovah TO MAKE ATONEMENT FOR IT, so as to send it away for Azazel into the wilderness." -- Leviticus 16:10 New World Translation

Yes, the "Scapegoat," (which incidently gets its name from the Septuagint Version of the bible), or as some translations say, the "living goat" is the 2nd goat in the scenario of the Day of Atonement procedure as mentioned Leviticus 16th chapter. No doubt, you recall reading those verses of the bible before. As shown in scripture, this 2nd "goat" or sacrifice is surprisingly, yes, "ATONED FOR" before, yes before it is used by Jehovah God, in a sacrificial sense. Yes, a careful analysis of Leviticus 16:10, this particular verse, shows the 2nd goat is "ATONED FOR" before it can be used in a "sacrificial sense," which means it could not picture Jesus Christ, in any way shape or form. No, it must picture someone else, besides Jesus Christ.

Also, we notice the 2nd goat that is ultimately "sent into the wilderness" to "atone" for the sins of the nation of Israel, AFTER, after it is itself is first, "atoned for" and is "Presented" to Jehovah. (Lev. 16:10, 20) Thus, when it is "presented" to Jehovah, it has been cleansed in God's eyes, made holy and prepared BY MEANS OF the 1st goat, which pictures Jesus Christ. Thus, we can say with absolute certainty then, Jesus Christ fully pictures the 1st sacrificial goat, and an unknown imperfect human should logically picture the 2nd goat...the one we call the Scapegoat of God. Therefore, in this instance, it would be the height of foolish to say that Jesus Christ pictured both the 1st goat, and the 2nd goat, as the Watchtower Society teaches. Yes, since as we know, Jesus had no "sins" to be "atoned for" at all...obviously a point that has escaped the notice of many bible scholars including the Watchtower Society.

So we can see, the "live goat", after being cleansed of sin, is then used in a sacrificial sense itself to "atone for" the nation's sins -- AFTER its initial cleansing before God. According to scripture, all of the nations "sins" and "revolts" are confessed and "put upon" the head of the scapegoat or E-scapegoat, or "live goat" which is to be used in a sacrifice sense for NATIONAL SIN. After this, he is then sent off into the wilderness for sacrificial purposes for the entire nation of Israel. But, first he must be cleansed by means of the "1st goat". Then the "live goat" can be viewed by God as a clean sacrifice and is now able to "carry off" the errors and transgressions of the entire nation, to the wilderness for God. -- Lev. 16: 21, 22

THE PROCEDURE FOR A CLEANSED LEPER -- 2 BIRDS USED

We can again, see this same drama visualized within the 14th chapter of Leviticus when we discuss the 2 birds used in the atonement procedure for the "leper" or leprosy. Two different "birds" are used in the procedure. The "1st bird" was killed and its blood spilled over running water. Next, the "2nd bird" the "live bird" was "dipped into the blood" of the first bird. So again, in this procedure, live the procedure of the "Day of Atonement," the "2nd bird" in this instance is cleansed, made holy and atoned for, by means of the first bird who was just sacrificed. (Lev. 14:4-7) And after this "dipping" procedure was carried out, the "2nd bird" was "sent away" to "open field" or to the wilderness. This was the scenario that was used in the procedure to follow, when a leper was cured from his disease and was now ready to be presented back to the congregation, whole and cleansed. The procedure was as follows:

"the priest must then give command; and he must take for cleansing himself two live clean birds and cedarwood and coccus scarlet material and hyssop. And the priest must give command, and the one bird must be killed in an earthenware vessel over running water. As for the living bird, he should take it and the cedarwood and the coccus scarlet material and the hyssop, and he must DIP THEM AND THE LIVING BIRD IN THE BLOOD OF THE BIRD THAT WAS KILLED over the running water. Then he must spatter it seven times upon the one cleansing himself from the leprosy and he must pronounce him clean, and he must SEND AWAY THE LIVING BIRD OVER THE OPEN FIELD." -- Lev. 14:4-7

So we see a correspondency in this instance, where the "live bird" is dipped into the "blood" of the first bird, which had been previously "killed" and its blood spilled before God. This first "bird" pictures Jesus Christ, willingly shedding his precious blood in a sacrificial sense, in behalf of the 2nd bird, the "living bird," who would in turn be later used in a sacrificial sense also, but much later, in behalf of a future nation of Israel of God's making. A modern-day "Israel" of God's making.

GOD'S "HIDDEN" WISDOM FROM THE BEGINNING -- REVEALED!

Therefore, in this instance, God gave us a preview of what he was about to accomplish using the precious blood of Jesus, upon an imperfect man, in a special sense, and making that man a human sacrifice to be used, at the appropriate time, at Jehovah God's discretion, in fulfillment of the promise that Jehovah made originally in the garden of Eden, at Genesis 3:15. This unique promise of God, namely to one day use the "seed of the woman" [Eve], in the most astonishing, astounding way. Of course, when Jehovah said it, no one but Jesus actually knew how Jehovah would accomplish the "ransoming" of mankind from sin, USING an imperfect descendant of mankind, the "seed of the woman," the seed of "Eve." This baffled everyone, all the angels in heaven, including wicked Satan the Devil. No one knew how Jehovah would accomplish such a feat. So again, this "creative day" too, started with "evening" or darkness for all concerned, just as all of the other days too started with "evening" and later "morning." This is primarily the reason today, the Great "Mystery of God" still persists, even in the last days of our system of things. -- Genesis 2:23; Revelation 10:7

But from "times long-lasting," Jehovah had it "hidden within himself," exactly what He was going to do, to accomplish such an amazing feat, all to show to all of his creation, heavenly and earthly, that "God is Wise ALONE...alone." (Romans 16:25-27; Ephesians 1:8-10; 3:9) In order to accomplish such a great feat for Himself, Jehovah decides to baffle everyone, heavenly or earthly, using this prophetic statement of Genesis 3:15, which would altogether, in the end times, show everyone that He is the ONLY ONE that is truly "wise." It would be the unique use of the precious "blood of Jesus" that would ultimately prove it, finally. (Romans 11:33; 16:27)

So then, what was challenged in the Garden of Eden, by the planned calculated wickedness of Satan the Devil to bring about sin and rebellion against Jehovah, was Jehovah's Great Wisdom or Foresight. Satan had challenged that established fact before all creation, heavenly or earthly.

Therefore to meet this Great Challenge, All-Wise Jehovah purposed to use the precious blood of Jesus upon an imperfect man, the "2nd goat," as it were, the "2nd bird" as it were, and bring about complete "justification" for that man, wherein the person would be rendered in God's sight as a "guiltless" one, or a man free from sin, just as Adam was. Jehovah could accomplish this thru the precious blood of Jesus. God would produce a "new creation," as it were. (2 Cor. 5:17) God would produce a person fully "justified" or "declared righteous" before us, as an anointed footstep follower of Jesus Christ, and thus a permanent member of the New Covenant that Jesus mediated. A permanent member of that Covenant and Law of Christ, wherein this person would be an eternal representative of Jesus Christ upon earth, forever and a eternal member of the "New Covenant" established by Jesus Christ, forevermore. Which means, as long as this person lives, the Covenant of Jesus, lives too, through this person upon earth. In this way, it becomes an eternal covenant...the "blood of an everlasting covenant" in itself, thru this imperfect man, that God decides to cleanse and use in this sacrificial capacity, as the Scapegoat. -- Hebrews 13:20

HOW DOES IT WORK -- THE "JUSTIFICATION" PROCESS?

Romans 5:18 speaks of the justification of the Scapegoat or "2nd goat", the "live goat" this way,

"So, then as through one tresspass the result to men of all sorts was condemnation, likewise also through one act of justification the result to men of all sorts is a declaring of them righteous for life."

Therefore thru the blood of Jesus, this one person, the person used to become the "2nd goat," or the "2nd bird" would have been completely "declared righteous for life," and by means of the blood of Jesus then, put on the same plateau of Adam, a perfect man free from sin. And in this way, this formerly imperfect man, could now have be "declared righteous for life," before God. This would be the same as for all "anointed" ones of the first century, where Jesus himself described their situation as being ones who could be considered "guiltless ones." They are the ones that could be "declared guiltless by means of this one," Jesus christ and his shed blood. -- Matthew 12:7; Acts 13:39

Therefore based upon that understanding of things, we can better perceive the actual happenings and actual NEED for another "Covenant" arrangement for "Israel," having lost their original Contract or Covenant that Jesus mediated, because of the Great Sin committed by the nation, via the UNITED NATIONS NGO LIASON of the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses, committed in 1991...a National Sin which sinks the entire nation of Modern day "Israel", God's Name People, down in sin, treason and apostasy in God's eyes. A sin of treason and apostasy before Jehovah. -- See Lev. 4:3

ANOTHER COVENANT FROM GOD REVEALED, NEEDED

As described in Ezekiel 20:38, after Israel is chased to the "wilderness" to have all of their "transgressors" and "revolters" as it were, "cleaned out from them", the prophet says of the nation's future,

"And I will make you pass under the rod and bring you into the bond of the covenant." -- Ezekiel 20:37

The "bond of the covenant", would show the NEED for another Covenantal Arrangement, for the nation of Israel, in God's eyes. And this would be because the nation needed to be "atoned for," by some special means, by means of a "2nd goat" to come on the earthly scene...yes God Almighty foreknew in His infinite wisdom and understanding this would be the case, and therefore made it a PUBLIC RECORD by placing it in the bible itself as a part of the Mosaic Law Procedure itself... in Leviticus 14th and 16th chapters.

Also Jeremiah foresaw this day when another "covenant", in fact one called "an indefinitely lasting covenant" between Israel and Jehovah, would come into existence. A new "indefinitely lasting covenant" for Israel of our times, then would be needed for modern-day "Israel" itself when he said:

"In those days days and at that time, is the utterance of Jehovah, the sons of Israel, they and the sons of Judah together, will come. They will walk, weeping as they walk, and for Jehovah their God they will seek. To Zion they will keep asking the way, with their faces in that direction, saying Come and let us join ourselves to Jehovah in an indefinitely lasting covenant that will not be forgotten." -- Jeremiah 50:4, 5

After Israel should realize their "fall" into apostasy from God, and are severely disciplined by Jehovah God in these "last days," they as a nation, will see the need "join themselves to Jehovah in an indefinitely lasting covenant," in our modern day times.

Then too, the prophet Ezekiel spoke of the same situation for our day,

"And I, I myself, will establish my covenant with you; and you will have to know that I am Jehovah, in order that you may remember and actually be ashamed and you may no more come to have any reason to open your mouth because of your humiliation, when I MAKE AN ATONEMENT FOR YOU for all that you have done, is the utterance of the Sovereign Lord Jehovah." -- Ezekiel 16:62, 63

THE "SONG OF THE LAMB" (A NEW SONG) & THE "SONG OF MOSES"

There are many other features of the Mosaic Law Covenant that will have to be brought up again, as mentioned in the book of Revelation, where it described it as mankind again learning the "Song of Moses", and its true meaning for us today. Also the New Song, called the "Song of the lamb,"... a very "new Song" for all concerned. -- Ephesians 1:8-10; Revelation 5:9, 10; Revelation 14:3; Revelation 15:3

For example the celebration of Pentecost, where "2 lambs" and "2 loaves" of bread were "waved" thus picturing something very grand and profound for our day and time, as well as for all the anointed footstep followers of Jesus in the first century too.

"Out of your dwelling places you should bring two loaves as a wave. Of two tenths of an ephah of fine flour they should prove to be. They should be baked leavened, as first ripe fruits to Jehovah...And you must render up one kid of the goats as a sin offering and two male lambs, each a year old, as a communion sacrifice. And the priest must wave them to and fro along with the [two] loafs of the first ripe fruits, as a wave offering before Jehovah, along with the two male lambs. They shold serve as something holy to Jehovah for the priest." -- Lev. 23:17, 19, 20

First we notice that there are two (2) LEAVENED loaves that are "waved" as "firstfruits" to Jehovah God, for full acceptance as a "communion offering." Of course the "leavened" bread pictures "sin" held deep within the members of this new covenantal arrangement itself. These "sinful" ones then, are leavened "loaves" that are "waved" before Jehovah the Almighty, for Covenantal Acceptance, in this instance. The "loaves" then, picture "Israel," REPENTANT "ISRAEL," those of the nation itself that repent as a people, those that "repent" as a nation before God. The first "lamb" and the first "loaf" was accepted at Pentecost of the first century, by God Almighty.

We notice that with each "loaf", a "lamb" was to be "waved." In the first century, this "Lamb" pictured the one who made all of this possible, True Passover "Lamb," Jesus Christ, whose righteous, spilled "blood," made the first century as well as the newer arrangement of our day, possible. -- John 1:29, 36

The first "lamb," thus points forward to the major "sacrificial" lamb of God, namely Jesus Christ who actually made all this possible, both covenantal arrangements, both "Christian" Law and "Scapegoat" Law, and additionally made possible the full acceptance in peace of the entire nation of Israel under the "curse" of the Mosaic Law [the first "loaf"], who had to be liberated from that particular "curse" to become fully acceptable to Jehovah God. (Galatians 3:10) These ones then, after being liberated from the "curse" of the Mosaic law, then could righteously be "presented" to Jehovah as a "communion offerings" of peace offering for acceptance as people under a "new covenantal" arrangement before Jehovah, these anointed ones of the first century who were taken to heaven as spiritual "Israel", as certain "firstfruits" to God, those, those bound for the heavenly life and heavenly rulership. -- Leviticus 23:17, 19, 20

Then later in the ceremony, we see a second "lamb" and "loaf" which is also "leavened" is "waved" before God Almighty. This second "waving" of a "lamb" and "loaf" shows, uniquely the actual NEED for a second "lamb" [a modern-day messiah] in assisting a modern day "Israel" or this second "loaf" which is also leavened with sin too and lift them up from "apostasy" from God as a nation. It must now be "waved" or presented to Jehovah God, in a communion offering for acceptance, as a symbol of peace between God and the new nation of Israel of our modern-day times.

The second "lamb" that is "waved" must then picture a "justified" descendant of Adam and Eve, the "seed of Eve" spoken of in Genesis 3:15. He becomes a person "declared righteous" before God, who can, in his "justified" state before God, now act as a "lamb" in a sacrificial sense, to redeem "Israel," and "bring back to God," an apostate "Israel" that develops in a very wicked nation of people, all within these "last days" of our times. He becomes a "guiltless one" before God Almighty, a person in whom God has selected to experience a true "anointing" by Jehovah as a spiritual "son" of God while on earth. He was given "authority" to become a spiritual "son" of God, by Jesus Christ himself. But he was "born from God" Jehovah, to do the will of Him that gave him life. -- Isaiah 49:5, 6; Romans 5:18; Romans 11:26, 27; Acts 13:38, 39; John 1:12, 13; Hebrews 2:11.

THE "LAMB" OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION AND THE "E-SCAPEGOAT"

Therefore, this new "lamb", this new "e-scape goat," thru-out his entire ministry and life before God Almighty, he himself then must prove himself to one day, to be finally counted "worthy" before God Himself, and Jesus, to open the "7 seals on the scroll" of God, and explain these things to mankind, as true "Sacred Secrets" or Great "Mysteries" of God himself. (Revelation 5:1-5) A Great "Sacred Secret" indeed, which would be "finished" or fully understood as Revelation 10:7 says of our day, during the "final part of the days," when he was due to "arrive" on the earthly scene, as "that which is complete," and as "Shiloh," as the "one who has the legal right" before God. -- Genesis 49:1, 10; Ezekiel 21:27; 1 Corinthians 13:10

Thus we can finally make a clear distinction here, in that this sacrificial "lamb" as mentioned in the book of Revelation should NOT be understood to be Jesus Christ, as commonly thought. In fact the Greek word "lamb", employed by the apostle John some 28 times in the book of Revelation is arnion which is actually a "baby lamb" or "lambkin" and differs greatly from the Greek word amnos which John, the inspired writer of Revelation, himself uses to describe a "full grown" adult "lamb" as it were.

Naturally this full-grown "lamb", could picture no one better than our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, himself as at John 1:29 and John 1:36 describes him. So then, the "first" lamb then would picture Jesus Christ, and would be the first lamb "waved" or is presented to Jehovah God, in the first century along with the first "loaf", which pictures first century "anointed" footstep followers, who were taken to heaven in 70 c.e. And afterwards, in our day and time, the secondary "lamb" or baby "lambkin" [Greek: arnion] spoken of as a "Lamb" in the book of Revelation, would be the "lamb" of our day, the "lamb" or "lambkin" of our modern day time. (We notice that the apostle John uses this Greek word of "arnion" also at John 21:15 where it is used to refer to new followers of "christ" as baby "lambs" or lambkins.)

Thus, in book of Revelation, mentioned some 28 times within this prophecy, it is this baby "lamb" or actual "lambkin," an "anointed" footstep follower of Christ, who was "waved" as a "communion" offering, before Jehovah God as a "communion sacrifice" to show the full acceptance of God toward this new Scapegoat Covenantal Arrangement with His full approval for the modern day nation of Israel, Jehovah's Witnesses themselves, the second "loaf" that must be redeemed to God, those who repent, those that after repenting become to God "certain firstfruits" of His. This modern-day "lamb" is waved before God, along with the "loaf" [repentant Jehovah's Witnesses] which is also "waved" for full acceptance before Jehovah in the last days, those who must repent as they exist in total treason and apostasy to God at present, because of the many sins of the wicked "man of lawlessness," namely the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses...the ones who have willingly "put their threshold and doorpost" up beside God's "threshold and doorpost" in our modern day times, the ones that must be fully and completely "exterminated in God's anger." - Ezekiel 47:7-9; 2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

THE CHRISTIAN COVENANT, THE "E-SCAPEGOAT COVENANT" AND JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES AS MODERN DAY "ISRAEL"

As we recall, the New Covenant was established with first century disciples, just like most today believe. But what most believers don't know, is that Jesus came back for his disciples in 70 c.e. and took them to heaven.

(For more detail information concerning Jesus' return in 70 c.e., please see the article entitled: The Second "Parousia" of Christ -- Re-examined)

Therefore, if Jesus came back for his anointed first century followers in 70 c.e. and took them to heaven, thus "abandoning" all UNFAITHFUL first century christians to their own wicked devices, then this automatically means, the Christian Covenant itself, after 70 c.e. then LAY DORMANT for many, many years, yes up till 1931. (Matthew 24:40, 41) Up till that time, between 70 c.e. and 1931, then, no nation of people was willing to take upon themselves the Name of God and the responsibility that came with carrying that Divine Name upon themselves, as did Jehovah's Witnesses in the year of 1931. No one was willing. This would be in following the example set by ancient Israel before them. (Numbers 6:27) Therefore, it was in that year, 1931 when Jehovah's Witnesses actually started the DIVINE NAME MOVEMENT, among religions. No one had done this before them. They were the first to do this, at that time. So in 1931, Jehovah's Witnesses became Spiritual "Israel" of our modern day times, by way of the blood of Jesus. In that year too, then, Jesus Christ became mediator between Israel [or Jehovah's Witnesses] and Jehovah God. Jehovah Witnesses then became part of the "Christian Law Covenant" Arrangement.

Therefore, Jehovah's Witnesses have continued in that same Covenant Arrangement from 1931 up till recently, when they as a nation and people, violated that Covenant by way of the United Nation / Governing Body NGO Affair. In other words, the leaders of the nation brought "guilt" upon the entire nation, because unfaithfulness in this instance. (See Leviticus 4:3.) Not to mention, the many other sins committed by the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses. which no doubt have damaged the Jehovah's Witnesses' relationship with God Almighty. In this way, the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses have thereby "put their doorpost" and their "threshold" up "beside" God Almighty's "doorpost" and "threshold." For this they must be "exterminated in God's Anger," completely. -- Ezekiel 43:7-9

Because of this situation, the nation of modern day "Israel" went into Apostasy before God, and this unique situation brought the actual NEED, the need for Another Covenant Arrangement, besides the One that Jesus mediated with them. This Covenant Arrangement, then became necessary... in God's eyes.

"But, what covenant arrangement, if any, could be used AFTER Jehovah's Witnesses had fully violated and broken the Christian one," one might ask.

PLEASE NOTE: In order to find out what arrangement we are talking about, we have to go back to the Mosaic Law to see how this would work, and come to understand God's Great Wisdom in handling this affair...His Great foresight, in making preparation for such a great deliverance, and the fulfillment of His Original Word and Promise at Genesis 3:15.

Therefore, when we examine the book of Revelation, we notice at Revelation 15:3 it speaks of the "Song of Moses," and the "Song of the Lamb" also being sung. These two "Songs" are ones being sung by faithful individuals of our modern day time, since it plainly says that the ones singing, have "come off victorious from the wild beast and from its image and from the number of its name standing by the glassy sea, having harps of God." -- Revelation 15:2

The "Song of Moses" does take us back to the Mosaic Law Covenant itself, wherein many of the principles are laid down for the concept of a dual "messiah" being sent by Jehovah, such as mentioned above. The Scapegoat Covenant, thus, can be established by clear principles as laid down in Leviticus 14th and Leviticus 16th chapters respectively.

Then too, Revelation 5:8-10 speaks of this new arrangement as being a "New Song," the "Song of the Lamb," as also mentioned in Revelation 14:3. All of this means this "New Song" thus becomes a "New" Covenantal Arrangement for repentant "Israel," during the "last days" of this system of things.

Of course, we have to remember this "New" Covenantal Arrangement, the E-scapegoat Covenantal Arrangement that we speak of, is only possible and could only itself become inaugurated, and put into operation by the Godly application of the sin-atoning value of the precious blood of Jesus. It is the application of the blood of Jesus that validates the "New" E-scapegoat Covenantal Arrangement, by which all things are then, made possible for God. Additionally we are also reminded too, that in keeping with His Stated Word as revealed in the Mosaic Law, it was thru Jehovah's Divine Wisdom and tremendous Foresight on all matters, that has made such an arrangement possible too. Especially when we consider Jehovah had all of this in mind FROM THE BEGINNING, in the Garden of Eden. Incredible! Therefore, this clearly shows that (a) the mystery of God would persist until the last days, according to His Will. (b) And that Jehovah God, is "wise alone," and amply demonstrated for all to see, at this time, in the last days of this system of things. (Romans 16:27) Therefore, in keeping with His Great Wisdom and amazing Foresight into all matters, Jehovah chose from Jehovah's Witnesses or modern day "Israel," one human, one brother from among their number, for this task, knowing within Himself exactly how he purposed to use such a person for His Divine Will. Jehovah chose to reveal his Great "Beauty" [or completely Symmetrical Divine Truth Message] as promised in the Servant Prophecy at Isaiah 49:3.

Therefore this magnificent Choice within His Divinely Revealed Purpose amply demonstrates the truthfulness and wisdom of God's Original Promise at Genesis 3:15, made in the Garden of Eden, when he spoke to those 3 rebels who had disobeyed Him and thought that they had somehow, vitiated or thwarted His Original Purpose. Of course, we know that could not be. Its simply not possible for such a thing. -- Proverbs 21:30

Hence, we today can say the great "mystery of God," that has persisted until now, then must be revealed in our day. Yes, the "finished mystery" of our time as Revelation 10:7 reveals, does prove to be an imperfect, descendant of "Eve," the woman, that was foretold to bring forth a "Seed" for God. He becomes the "Chosen One" that was "promised" to come from the sinful "woman" [Eve], and thru the sin-atoning blood of Jesus, who would finally become God's Chosen One to rescue "Israel" from apostasy, as His "Servant," as God's Scapegoat Sacrifice. -- Leviticus 16:10, 20; Isaiah 42:1-9; Isaiah 49:1-9

Therefore, as God's "Anointed One," or "Christ," of our modern age, he is appropriately "anointed" by God Himself as one of Jehovah's Witnesses while within the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization, and later appropriately "sent out in the wilderness" BEFORE the UN/NGO Sin is committed, to save the nation of Israel itself. In this capacity, he is used as an "E-scapegoat" in that he "ESCAPES" from the Organization of Jehovah's Witnesses, as an "ANOINTED" footstep follower of Jesus Christ, and maintains his original Covenant with God, the original one established in 1931, the "Christian Law Covenant" that Jesus mediates. In this capacity, God uses him as a "justified" or "declared righteous", guiltless "lamb" to effect salvation for the modern-day nation of Israel, Jehovah's Witnesses as a nation, a nation who has now fully apostatized from God, totally away from the "Christian Law" that was previously mediated by Jesus in their behalf, before they violated it as a nation. -- Matthew 12:7; Acts 13:38, 39; Romans 5:18

Think about it.
