It is like a baby who wants her bottle. All the time it is being prepared she cries. Even when she is told it is being made for her. She cannot understand why it takes so long. Certain things must be done and made clear before Jesus can come. But He will come soon. (Mathew 24; 2 Timothy 3; Revelation 22:6; Hebrews 10:37)
The baby scape goat is then taken out into the desert called the "wilderness of sin". This goat had to be all by itself. It wandered out there. This was a drama of how Revelation 20 will happen. The angel of God binds up Satan and he is alone for 1,000 years before his destruction. Satan will be banished from heaven forever. He will have no one to hurt or cause to sin during this time. Explore the Revelation Bible lessons for children on this. You will understand this even better when you study the last 4 lessons of Revelation. (Rev. 20:2)
His suffering is intense. He is terrified when he thinks about when God will come and punish him.
Every day you can help God by trying to encourage your family and friends to ask Jesus into their hearts. You can encourage them with promises from the Bible. You can do kind things like Jesus did. Who knows, one of them might choose to live in Heaven because of you?
"¡¦all that do wickedly shall be stubble(dry grass); and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the Lord of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch." Malachi 4:1

When the High Priest was through in the
Most Holy place he came out with all the blood gathered up in his
hands. He stopped at the golden altar of incense. He sprinkled blood
here seven times on the horns and around the altar of incense. The
blood was sprinkled here, in front of the curtain, to clean it up
from thousands of sins that had been placed there.
When Jesus is through with His job in
front of God¡¯s throne, we will not know it. God¡¯s people will
be crying for Him to come. All the time He is getting ready to come.
Next in the service the baby goat selected
to represent Satan was brought to the door. The high priest who
had symbolically gathered up all the forgiven sins in his hands
brought them to the door. He placed his hands on the head of the
scape goat. He was acting out the drama of the future. All the forgiven
sins that God¡¯s people have done but asked for deliverance from
have now been placed on the head of the goat representing Satan.
He will have to pay for the sins that he caused God¡¯s people to
do. He will be punished for all the things he has helped to happen.
He has to pay for his own sins too. 
Satan has time out to think about all
the unkind and evil things he has done. This is like when you have
to sit on a chair as time out when you have done something wrong.
But Satan has longer than five minutes. He has one thousand years!
At the end of the world, God will clean
up sin with fire. All those who hate God, all who would be miserable
in heaven will die. This would be awful if your besty friend or
one of your parents were in that fire.
At the end of the day of atonement all
the sacrifices were burned out side the camp. All that was left
was ashes. There was not any fires burning all year to remind them
of sin. It was just a heap of ashes. The baby goat did not live
forever in the wilderness. There is no one burning in hell for ever
and ever. In Malachi 4:3 it speaks of the wicked people as ashes.
