Cleansing for the High Priest, Zechariah Chapter 3

“Then the angel showed me Jeshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord. The Accuser, Satan, was there at the angel’s right hand, making accusations against Jeshua. And the Lord said to Satan, ‘I, the Lord reject your accusations, Satan. I, the Lord , who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you. This man is like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire.’

Jeshua’s clothing was filthy as he stood there before the angel. So the angel said to the others standing there, ‘Take off those filthy clothes.’ And returning to Jeshua, he said, ‘See, I have taken away your sins, and not I am giving you these fine new clothes.'” (vv. 1-4, NLT)

“Then the angel of the Lord spoke very solemnly to Jeshua and said, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says: I you follow My ways and carefully serve Me, then you will be given authority over My Temple and its courtyards. I will let you walk among these others standing here.'” (vv 6-7, NLT)

We would love to hear from you!
