Jesus and the High Priest- A Tale of Two Goats

Jesus and the High Priest- A Tale of Two Goats

Here is one of the most challenging questions I have been exploring lately: If Christ's sacrifice was near or on Passover, how does it bring a complete atonement? Wasn't that the purpose of the Day of Atonement (DOA)? A Passover sacrifice was a type of peace offering, but at the same time it was a propitiation (removal of God's wrath) like how the Hebrews were "passed over" in Egypt" Just like how the High Priest entered the Holy of Holies, Christ had to enter into the Holy of Holies of Heaven to complete the ritual (Hebrews 9:8-12,24-28). He never entered one on Earth. The DOA had two goats, but was considered one sacrifice. So is it farfetched or even heretical to say that Christ brought His blood into the Holy of Holies to purify the Heavenly Temple like how the High Priest in Leviticus 16 purified the Tabernacle/Temple (Hebrews 9:21-23)? Two parts one sacrifice. This would be the expiation (the removal of sin-atonement). When the 2nd Temple fell, it was destroyed near the DOA holiday in 70AD. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that salvation came in 70AD (end of spiritual death), not in 30AD as traditionally taught. At the Cross, the 1st fruits were "passed over" in Spiritual Egypt (Rev 11:8-1st Century Jerusalem who crucified Christ-Crooked Generation).
