Zechariah 3Fourth Vision: Joshua and Satan

1 standing at his right hand to accuse him.

2 “The Lord rebuke you, O accuser! The Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this man a brand plucked from the fire?”

3Now Joshua was wearing filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.

4 said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” And to him he said, “See, I have taken your guilt away from you, and I will clothe you with festal apparel.”

5 “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with apparel, and the angel of the Lord was standing by.

6Then the angel of the Lord warned Joshua, saying

71 Kings 3.14; Ezek 44.16; Zech 4.14“Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.

8Isa 4.2; 53.2; Jer 33.15; Ezek 12.11Now listen, Joshua, high priest, you and your colleagues who sit before you! For they are an omen of things to come: I am going to bring my servant the Branch.

9Isa 28.16; Mic 7.18; Zech 4.10For on the stone that I have set before Joshua, on a single stone with seven facets, I will engrave its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the guilt of this land in a single day.

101 Kings 4.25; Isa 36.16On that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each other to come under your vine and fig tree.”
