According to Ellen G. White's writings, the scapegoat in the biblical Day of Atonement service represents Satan. - The sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator. The scapegoat, however, typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed. - When the high priest, by virtue of the blood of the sin offering, removed the sins from the sanctuary, he placed them upon the scapegoat. In the antitypical fulfillment, when Christ removes the sins of His people from the heavenly sanctuary at the close of His ministration, He will place them upon Satan, who must bear the final penalty. - The scapegoat was sent away into a land not inhabited, never to return to the congregation of Israel. In the final judgment, Satan will be forever banished from the presence of God and His people and will be blotted from existence in the final destruction of sin and sinners. Key reference: > "It was seen, also, that while the sin offering pointed to Christ as a sacrifice, and the high priest represented Christ as a mediator, the scapegoat typified Satan, the author of sin, upon whom the sins of the truly penitent will finally be placed. ... So will Satan be forever banished from the presence of God and His people, and he will be blotted from existence in the final destruction of sin and sinners." (The Great Controversy, p. 422.2) In summary: In Ellen White's interpretation, the scapegoat represents Satan, not Christ. References: - White, E. G. (1911). The Great Controversy.

Yes, according to Ellen G. White’s writings, the atonement made by Christ on the cross was full, complete, and final as a sacrifice for sin. Here are key points from her annotated texts: - “Christ's sacrifice in behalf of man was full and complete. The condition of the atonement had been fulfilled. The work for which He had come to this world had been accomplished.” (AA 29.2) - When Jesus cried, “It is finished,” on the cross, “the destruction of sin and Satan was forever made certain, that the redemption of man was assured, and that the universe was made eternally secure.” (DA 764.4) - The rending of the temple veil at Christ’s death “signified that the ceremonial system of the sacrificial offerings was at an end forever, that the one great and final sacrifice was made in the Lamb of God, slain for the sins of the world.” (2SP 123.2) In summary: According to Ellen White, the atonement at the cross was complete as a sacrifice for sin, fulfilling the conditions necessary for human redemption. However, her writings also indicate that Christ’s ministry as mediator continues in heaven, applying the benefits of that atonement to believers. References: - White, E. G. (1911).

Ellen G. White’s writings outline several key purposes for our educational institutions: 1. Training for Service and Mission: - “The object of our schools is to provide places where the younger members of the Lord's family may be trained according to His plan of growth and development.” (6T 126.2) - “Our educational institutions can do much toward meeting the demand for trained workers for these mission fields...fitting consecrated young men and young women to bear responsibility and to win souls for Christ.” (9T 76.2; CT 524.2) 2. Harmonious Development: - Education should not be confined to textbooks but should develop the whole person—mind, character, and practical skills. (6T 126.2) 3. Spiritual and Moral Foundation: - The purpose of education is to glorify God and enable men and women to fulfill His will on earth. (CT 229.3) - “Our school is to take a higher position...by opening before the young nobler views, aims, and objects in life, and educating them to have a correct knowledge of human duty and eternal interests.” (LS 220.1) 4. Preparation for Practical Life: - “Let the youth be impressed with the thought that education is not to teach them how to escape life's disagreeable tasks and heavy burdens; that its purpose is to lighten the work by teaching better methods and higher aims.” (Ed 221.3) 5. Character Building: - Schools should provide an environment most favorable for the formation of strong characters able to withstand the evils of the world. (CT 203.3) 6. Advancement of God’s Work: - Educational centers are to be established to train workers who will give character to the work of present truth in new fields and help rescue souls from sin. (6T 137.1) In summary: The purpose of our educational institutions is to provide a holistic, Christ-centered education that prepares students for service to God and humanity, develops their character, equips them for practical life, and trains them to advance God’s work in the world.
