Read Zechariah 3.1-10. In 3.1-10: The fourth vision: Joshua's installation as high priest. This vision may have been a later addition to the vision sequence; it does not open with the question and answer exchange between Zechariah and the interpreting angel that begins the other visions. In verse 1: The term Satan dos not refer to the prince of evil familiar from early Christian writings. It is a common noun, not a name, in Hebrew and means "adversary" or "accuser," that member of God's heavenly court designated to bring cases against individuals (Job 1.6). In verse 2; A brand plucked from the fire refers to someone who has survived God's judgment of Israel and Judah (Am 4.11). In verses 3-5: The reclothing of Joshua symbolizes his sanctification for priestly office 9Lev 8.6-9) In verse 7; My house is the Temple in Jerusalem. In verse 8: My servant and the Branch are royal titles used of the Davidic dynasty (2 Sam 7.5; Jer 23.5) and may be used here of Zerubbabel (4.6-10a; Jer 23.5), governor of Judah and a member of the Davidic family. In verse 9: The seven faceted stone and its inscription are images or royalty (2 Sam 12.30; 2 Kings 11.12). Comments or Questions..
