Answer:
In the Fall season, the Jews went to Jerusalem for the Day of Atonement. This is where the High Priest would have 2 goats prepared - one was taken out into the wilderness and released (representing the 1000 yr Millennium without Satan) and the other sacrificed for the sins of the people (representing Jesus). Though this sacrificial ritual occurred annually, it could not take away the guilt the sinners felt. It was symbolic and pointing to the greatest sacrifice to happen ahead from Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus is the member of the God Family that created all things - including us (John 1:1-3). As Creator God, His life was much more valuable than all human life from the 1st to the last one of us, together. In as much, His voluntary and obedient death on the tree and subsequent resurrection and acceptance by the Father of His offering for us (Wave Sheath Offering), re-connected mankind to the Throne of God. We have a Mediator, an Eternal High Priest, our brother. When we now repent and get baptized, we come out of the watery grave a new creature being begotten of God by the power of His Holy Spirit. All guilt subsides and we look forward to our following our perfect example (1Peter2:21).
If those who are called in their lifetimes (John 6:44;65) remain strong to the end, they will be part of the 1st Resurrection, as firstfruits and eventually become the Bride of Christ (position in God's Government) at the Wedding Feast to follow.
