Leviticus 16:21-22:
"Aaron shall layboth his hands on the head of the live

goat, confess over it all the iniquities of the children of

Israel, and all their transgressions, concerning all their
sins, putting them on the head of the goat ... And the goat
shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not

inhabited."
Similarly, Isaiah

foreshadowed the

suffering Messiah:

"He was led as a lamb

to the slaughter ... For
the transgressions of

My people He was
stricken ... My righteous

Servant shall justify
many, For He shall

bear their iniquities ...
He bore the sin of

many." (chp. 53

"A day with the
Lord is as a

thousand years
and a thousand

years as a

day." (2 Peter
3:8)

JESUS experienced the

day on the cross as if it were a thousand years.

The eternal Being Jesus--the Son of God,
who is innocent,suffering for afinite (limited)

period of time is equal to all finite beings
