Zachariah 3:1\u00a0 <\/span>Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, \u201cThe Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?\u201d Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, \u201cTake off his filthy clothes.\u201d Then he said to Joshua, \u201cSee, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.\u201d Then I said, \u201cPut a clean turban on his head.\u201d So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by. The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: \u201cThis is what the Lord Almighty says: \u2018If 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. \u201c\u2018Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,\u2019 says the Lord Almighty, \u2018and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day. \u201c\u2018In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,\u2019 declares the Lord Almighty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Joshua the High Priest had a place of high standing \u2013 next to the Angel of the\u00a0LORD\u00a0and protected against Satanic attack. Still, this place of high privilege was not based on Joshua\u2019s own goodness or merit; he himself was rescued as a\u00a0branch plucked from the fire<\/b>. This is even more boldly stated in that Joshua stood\u00a0clothed in filthy garments<\/b>. Satan had a lot to accuse Joshua of, but Joshua had an even greater advocate in the Angel of the\u00a0LORD.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo it is with the child of God. What is he at the best? Till he is taken up to heaven, he is nothing but a branch plucked out of the fire. It is his daily moan that he is a sinner, but Christ accepts him as he is: and he shuts the devil\u2019s mouth by telling him, \u2018Thou sayest this man is black \u2013 of course, he is: what did I think he was but that? He is a branch plucked out of the fire. I plucked him out of it. He was burning when he was in it: he is black now he is out of it. He was what I knew he would be; he is not what I mean to make him, but he is what I knew he would be. I have chosen him as a brand plucked out of the fire. What hast thou to say to that?\u2019 Do observe that this plea did not require a single word to be added to it from Joshua.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u201cSuch is the divine economy, that God makes much of fragments and castaways. What others regard as unworthy of their heed is dear and priceless to the great Lover of souls.\u201d\u00a0 <\/span>As Joshua the High Priest stood in the presence of the\u00a0LORD, Satan accused him on seemingly solid grounds \u2013 Joshua was guilty of standing before God in\u00a0filthy garments<\/b>. Nevertheless, the\u00a0LORD\u00a0fixed the problem by cleansing Joshua, taking away the\u00a0filthy garments<\/b>\u00a0and the\u00a0iniquity<\/b>\u00a0they represented.\u00a0 <\/span>Joshua not only enjoyed having his\u00a0iniquity<\/b> removed, he also was given righteousness \u2013 clothed with righteous robes<\/b>. The thought of being clothed by God in righteousness runs from Genesis and to Revelation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
