Zechariah 3
The Prophet's Vision of
Joshua the High Priest |
1 |
And he showed me Joshua the high priest Ezra
5.2 standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan 1 standing at his right hand to resist him. Rev. 12.10
|
2 |
And the LORD said
unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, Jude
1.9O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen
Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the
fire?
|
3 |
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy
garments, and stood before the angel.
|
4 |
And he answered and spake unto those that
stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him.
And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass
from the thee, and I will clothe thee with change of
raiment.
|
5 |
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre
upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed
him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
|
6 |
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
|
7 |
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my
charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my
courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand
by.
|
8 |
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou,
and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men
wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH. Jer. 23.5 ; 33.15 · Zech. 6.12
|
9 |
For behold the stone that I have laid
before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I
will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that
land in one day.
|
10 |
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor
under the vine and under the fig tree. Mic. 4.4
