One Day

The second covering was of goats hair. To understand the significance of the goats in redemption one must look at Leviticus 16. "Then he is to take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting. He is to cast lots for the two goats—one lot for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat. Aaron shall bring the goat whose lot falls to the LORD and sacrifice it for a sin offering. But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to be used for making atonement by sending it into the desert as a scapegoat." Leviticus 16:7 - 10
J. Wilbur Chapman wrote a hymn that shows this. The hymn is called "One Day" and the chorus goes like this:
Living, He loved me; dying, He saved me;
Buried He carried my sins far away;
Rising, He justified freely forever.
One day He's coming - oh, glorious day!
