Zechariah Chapter 3
Joshua
The fifth vision discloses:
(1) The change from self-righteousness to the righteousness of God
(See Scofield) - (Rom 3:21).
of which Paul's experience, (Phi 3:1-9) is the illustration, as it is also the foreshadowing of the conversion of Israel.
(2) In type, the preparation of Israel for receiving Jehovah's "BRANCH"
(See Scofield) - (Isa 4:2).
The refusal of the Jews to abandon self-righteousness for the righteousness of God blinded them to the presence of the BRANCH in their midst at His first advent (Rom 10:1-4); (Rom 11:7); (Rom 11:8).
Compare (Zac 6:12-15) which speaks of the manifestation of the BRANCH in glory (Zac 3:13) as the Priest-King, when Israel will receive Him.
(See Scofield) - (Heb 5:6).
