What will happen to those failing to make their calling and
election sure? In the end of this age their portion will be
assigned in the Court condition--but they are not in the Court
condition now. The holy represents all those who have made
acceptable consecration. All the worthy will eventually pass
beyond, into the Most Holy. Those who fail to make their
calling and election sure, though still spiritual, will be
remanded to the Court condition, justified fully with God, but
on a different plane from those fulfilling their covenant of
sacrifice--followers in the footsteps of Jesus.
The Great Company, antitypically Levites will be the
servants of the Royal Priesthood. Although on the Spirit
plane and having no inheritance in the land--no part or lot
with humanity--nevertheless, they will have to do with the
earth in their spiritual service.

It stands to reason, that if their new creatures were remanded to
the court and their humanity never willingly perished on the altar
of sacrifice then it must have been represented by the live
goat that was turned out to forcefully die, or starve to death in the wilderness.


Reprint 2728

In this sense of the word
"called" only those who accept the call are meant; and
they then divide themselves into two classes--those
who make their calling and election sure, and obtain
the Kingdom, obtain a part in the first resurrection to
glory, honor and immortality, obtain a place with Messiah
in his throne, to share with him in his Millennial
Kingdom; and others who do not make their calling
and election sure, either by becoming reprobates, and
subjects of the Second Death, or by a failure to manifest
a sufficiency of zeal in the race for the prize, and
on this account being remanded to the class known as
the "great company," who must come through great
tribulation, washing their robes in the blood of the
Lamb.--Rev. 7:9-15.

notice how Bro Russell explains that the Priest did the work
and that the sins were just confessed on the goat, thus the goat
represents those whom especially committed them

GREAT COMPANY--Re Cancelling Sins of World.
Q298:1:: QUESTION (1909)--1--How can the Great
Company cancel the penalty for the particularly wilful sins of
the world? How does the scapegoat make an atonement with
God?
ANSWER.--The Great Company has nothing to do with

it, neither has the Little Flock anything to do with the
cancellation of sin. It is the High Priest that does that work.
He may use various things for the basis of His various steps,
but He is the one that makes the application, and neither the
Great Company nor the Little Flock do anything in the
cancellation.
We have suggested in the Tabernacle Shadows, and still
agree to it, that the scapegoat represents the Great
Company. Many say, well, the Great Company or the
scapegoat do not go into the Holy. I answer that neither does
the bullock or the Lord's Goat. What did go in there? The
blood of the bullock and of the Lord's goat, representing the
value of the sacrifice, was taken in to make atonement. The
blood of the bullock was to make atonement for the sins of
the Tribe of Levi, including the priests, called the body or
house of the High Priest, the priestly family, and the blood of
the bullock settled for the sins of all of those, the body
members, or under priests. Then the blood of the goat was
taken, which represented the under priests. The blood of the
goat was not sprinkled by the goat, but by the High Priest, and
it was applied for all the people. It is the High Priest who had
the whole thing to do, and we would not be properly holding
the Head, if we thought we had anything to do with it--it is
merely as members of His Body that we are counted in
at all.
Since the blood of the bullock cancelled the sins of the
household of faith, and the blood of the goat cancelled the
sins of all those outside, what sins, then, are left in connection
with the scapegoat? The answer is that the High Priest took
the sins of the congregations, and confessed them upon the
head of the scapegoat. What sins are those besides the ones
already mentioned, for which the blood has been applied? I
answer that those sins for which atonement was made in the
Holy and Most Holy were original sins which come because
of Adam, and the imperfections inherited from him. Christ's
merit passing through His Body is applied for all these sins.
What other sins are there? They are the ones which are not
due to Adamic weakness. The world is not doing the best it
can and therefore they commit many sins that are not due to
Adamic weakness. Some men's sins go before and some
follow after, but the Lord will see to it that all sins are settled
for. Every intelligent sin is a sin of this kind, and these are
the ones that are confessed upon
{Page Q299}
the head of the scapegoat. We will give you an illustration:
You remember reading, "Of this generation shall be required
all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of
righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias," etc. What
righteous blood is referred to? Evidently the wrong deeds
done by mankind not due to Adamic weakness. The Lord
sees some way in which the intelligent sins of humanity may
be cancelled, and when you and I see the philosophy, we will
say that it is all right. So the Scriptures seem to indicate that
there is to be another accounting with the world. You
remember the Scripture which speaks of the souls under the
altar crying out, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou
not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the
earth?" The Lord has an accurate system of bookkeeping, and
He will reward each one and punish each one according to
what they did that was right or wrong. Those who have
sinned intelligently will have a certain punishment coming to
them which must come before the books are squared. In view
of the fact that we are living here and looking back upon the
"dark ages," we are to acquiesce in the things that come to
pass. At all events, there is a great time of trouble coming at
the end of this age, and they are to be allowed to share in that
trouble. They are to be permitted to share in this to the extent
of laying down their lives, because if they do not die, they
cannot have a share in the spiritual blessings.

RANSOM--How Merit of is Applied.
Q560:2:: QUESTION] (1911-Z)--2--Is there anything
connected with
{Page Q561}
the Atonement Day sacrifices which corresponds to the
Ransom? If so, what?
ANSWER--The word Ransom would more properly
be rendered Ransom-Price, corresponding price. On the
Day of Atonement no type of the ransom-price is given us,
but rather a type of the Sin-Offering, showing particularly
how that ransom-price will be made applicable. If we
scrutinize this Atonement Day type, however, we shall find
that which points to the Ransom, in the killing of the bullock;
for the whole matter depended upon the killing of the bullock.
The goat could not be killed first. The bullock must first be
killed and the blood applied in the Most Holy before anything
could be done with the goat. Hence, all that was done, not
only with the Lord's goat, but also with the scapegoat, was
based on the death of the bullock. So if we look for anything
that might correspond to the ransom-price in the Day of
Atonement sacrifices, we shall see that the death of the goat
was not necessary, but all depended on the bullock.

SCAPEGOAT--No Part of Sin Offering.
:: QUESTION (1915)--1--Does the scapegoat
have any part in the Sin-offering?
ANSWER--The scapegoat has no part. The scapegoat
was not offered at all. It failed to be offered. Two goats were
presented as offerings, but the lot fell only on the Lord's goat,
and that one was the sin-offering. So we have the bullock and
the one goat for the sin-offering, and the other goat was not
sacrificed at all. Hence it could not be a sin-offering
(Lev. 16:7-10). But in God's economy this scapegoat class will
have a secondary part in the expiation of sin by having their
sufferings applied as atonement, or expiation, for certain
willful sins of the world--not Adamic sin.
