Fourth Vision: High Priest and Branch
1Then he showed me Joshua # Hg 1:1,12,14; 2:4; Zch 6:11 the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, # Gn 16:7-13; 21:17; 22:11-16; 31:11-13 with Satan # Or the adversary # 1Ch 21:1; Jb 1:6-12; Rv 12:10 standing at his right side to accuse him. 2The Lord # Syr reads The Angel of the Lord said to Satan: “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! May the Lord who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Isn’t this man a burning stick snatched from the fire? ” # Dt 4:20; Am 4:11
3Now Joshua was dressed with filthy # Probably stained with human excrement clothes # Dt 23:13; Is 4:4 as he stood before the Angel. # Lv 22:3 4So the Angel of the Lord # Lit He spoke to those # = the angels standing before Him, “Take off his filthy clothes! ” Then He said to him, “See, I have removed your guilt from you, # 2Sm 24:10; Jb 7:21; Mc 7:18 and I will clothe you with splendid robes.”
5Then I said, “Let them put a clean turban # Ex 28:36-38 on his head.” So a clean turban was placed on his head, and they clothed him in garments while the Angel of the Lord was standing nearby.
6Then the Angel of the Lord charged Joshua: 7“This is what the Lord of Hosts says: If you walk in My ways and keep My instructions, you will both rule My house and take care of My courts; I will also grant you access among these who are standing here.
8“Listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues sitting before you; indeed, these men are a sign that I am about to bring My servant, the Branch. # Is 4:2; 11:1; Jr 23:5; 33:15; Ezk 17:22-24; Zch 6:12 9Notice the stone # Ps 118:22-23; Is 8:14; 28:16; Dn 2:35,45; Zch 4:10; Rv 5:6 I have set before Joshua; on that one stone are seven eyes. # Zch 4:10 I will engrave an inscription on it” — this is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts — “and I will take away the guilt of this land in a single day. 10On that day, each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree.” # 1Kg 4:25; 2Kg 18:31; Mc 4:1-8 This is the declaration of the Lord of Hosts.

The Prophet's Vision of Joshua the High Priest
1 #
Ezra 5.2;
Rev 12.10. And he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan#3.1 That is, An adversary. standing at his right hand to resist him. 2#Jude 9. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? 3Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4And 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. 5And 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.
6And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying, 7Thus 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#Jer 23.5; 33.15; Zech 6.12. 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. 9For 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#Mic 4.4. In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree.
