Joshua the High Priest
Zechariah 3, verse 1. And the Lord showed me Joshua, the high priest, standing before the presence of the Angel of the Lord, and the devil stood at his right hand to oppose him. Zechariah 3, verse 2. And the Lord said to the devil, “The Lord rebukes you, O devil, even the Lord choosing for Himself Jerusalem rebukes you. Behold, is this one not like a brand plucked from the fire?” Zechariah 3, verse 3. And Joshua was clothed in filthy garments and stood before the Angel. Zechariah 3, verse 4. And He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, “Take away the filthy garments from him.” And He said to him, “Behold, I have taken your iniquities away from you. Now clothe him with a long robe, Zechariah 3, verse 5. and place upon his head a clean miter.” So they clothed him and put a clean miter on his head, and the Angel of the Lord was standing by. Zechariah 3, verse 6. Then the Angel of the Lord testified to Joshua, saying, Zechariah 3, verse 7. “Thus says the Lord Almighty: ‘If you walk in My paths and if you keep My commands, you shall judge My house; and if you will diligently guard My courtyard, I will give you those to walk in the midst of these who stand here. Zechariah 3, verse 8. Hear then, O Joshua the high priest, you and your neighbors sitting before you, for these men are prophets; for behold, I bring forth My servant the Dayspring. Zechariah 3, verse 9. For the stone which I place before the face of Joshua, upon one stone are seven eyes. Behold, I am digging a pit,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will search out every wrongdoing of that land in one day. Zechariah 3, verse 10. On that day,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘each of you will invite his neighbor under his vine and under his fig tree.’”
