Meaning of Azazel

During the Day of Atonement in Israel's time, there existed a unique ritual as detailed in Leviticus 16. Within this ritual existed an instruction to take two goats, one to be slain as a sin offering, one to be led into the wilderness. What is the meaning behind the goat led into the wilderness? What is its significance in God's plan, reviewed through His Holy Days? This sermon looks into these questions and reviews the true understanding revealed in God's word.
