Fourth Vision: Joshua and Satan
1 #
Ps 109.6; Hag 1.1 Then he showed me the high priest Joshua standing before the angel of the Lord and the accuser#3.1 Heb the satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. 2#Am 4.11; Jude 9, 23And the Lord said to the accuser,#3.2 Heb the satan “The Lord rebuke you, O accuser!#3.2 Heb the satan 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#Isa 43.25; Rev 19.8The angel#3.4 Heb He 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#Ex 29.6And he said,#3.5 Syr Vg Tg: MT I said “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 7#1 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. 8#Isa 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. 9#Isa 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. 10#1 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.”
