Leviticus 4:31 And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
The priest takes upon him the sins of others, an atonement. Jesus Christ is the GREAT High Priest which teaches us again that He is the Priest to take upon Him all sins of every creature. Ask Brandon Wernli about this.
Matthew 26:28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
The Atonement of Jesus Christ is the new testament, the new covenant.
John 19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
Why was the vinegar the last thing needed before he said that it was finished? Is it what he would use to die upon? Was it needed to fill prophecy? Did the drinking of the vinegar happen to occur at just the time when he had completed the full length of time needed to complete all suffering for the sins of the world? Maybe it is none of the above and they just happened to occur near to each other.
