Praise God because the Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”
Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel. The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.”
Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
The angel of the Lord said to Joshua, “‘Listen, 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,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day. In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.’”
Jesus is the New Testament pronunciation of Joshua. Jesus took our sins, our filth upon Himself, so that He could save us from our sins. Jesus is the Branch of the Lord spoke of by the prophet Isaiah. Jesus is the one who removed the sin of the land in a single day. In Christ, neighbors come together in fellowship. Christ is the Chosen One and Anointed One to save us from Satan’s accusations and filth.
I have attached pictures to further illustrate the work of Christ.
