The Scape-Goat Barnabus

Barnabus 6:6-15
6. ….a foreshow that He was to suffer for them, hear then how He appointed it.
7. Take, says He, two goats, fair and alike, and offer them, and let the high priest take one of them for a burnt offering and what must be done of the other? Let it say He be accused.
8. Consider how exactly this appears to have been a type of Y’Shua. And let all the congregation spit upon it, and prick it; and put the scarlet wool about its head, and thus let it be carried forth into the wilderness.
9. And this being done, he was appointed to convey the goat, let it into the wilderness, and took away the scarlet wool, and put it upon a thorn bush, whose young sprouts when we find them in the field we are wont to eat: so the fruit of that thorn only is sweet.
10. …Consider; one was offered upon the altars the other was accused.
11. …Because they shall see Messiah in that day having a scarlet garment about His body; and shall say: is not this He whom we crucified; having despised Him, pierced Him. Mocked Him? Certainly, this is He, who then said, that He was the Son of G-d.
12. As therefore He shall be then like to what He was on earth, so were the Jews heretofore commanded, to take two goats fair and equal. That when they see our Savior here after coming in the clouds of heaven, they may be amazed at the likeness of the goats.
14. But what then signifies this – that the wool was to be put into the midst of the thorns?
15. This also is a figure of Y’Shua, sent out to the church. For as He who would take away the scarlet wool must under go many difficulties, because that thorn was very sharp, and with difficulty to get it; so they, say Messiah, that will see Me, and come to My kingdom, must through many afflictions and trouble attain unto Me.
