[:en]SCRIPTURE: ZECHARIAH 3
“This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.” (Zechariah 3:7)
“See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes[b] on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day. ‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.” (Zechariah 3:9-10)
CLEAN GARMENTS FOR THE HIGH PRIEST (vs. 1-10)
Zechariah saw a vision from God of Joshua, the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord and Satan. The Lord rebuke Satan. While Joshua was wearing his filth clothes, the angel commanded those standing there to take off his filthy cloths, put on rich garment and clean turban on his head. And the Lord Almighty told Joshua to walk in His ways and keep His commands so that he shall govern His house and take charge of His courts. Then he told Joshua to continue his ministry telling them about the Branch – coming of the Messiah.
The cleansing and restoration of Joshua signified that Israel will be cleansed and restored when Messiah comes to reign.
