The relationship of fasting during the Day of Atonement to the symbol of azazel goat as Christ is examined and shown to likely be a way to experience empathy towards the sacrifice of both Jesus and His symbolic representation of the goat. There has been much confusion towards the azazel goat as previous incarnations of the Church of God has often skirted by the issue. Jesus fulfills both the sin offering and the entity bearing the sin. Showing with the example of the foreshadowing of Abraham and the prophecy in Isaiah- Jesus bears the sins and it can't be Satan as thought previously by the interpretations of the azazel goat symbolism. We fast to learn humility, sacrifice, and empathy towards our Savior.
