June 28, 2026 – Zechariah 3 – The Cleansing of Jeshua, the High Priest

The prophet Zechariah sees a vision of the high priest Jeshua clothed in filthy garments and being resisted by Satan. It’s a courtroom scene with the Angel of the Lord as defense attorney and Satan as prosecutor. After the Lord rebukes Satan, the filthy garments are removed and clean ones put on. Although the roles are blurred together, this is a picture of Christ taking on our sins, forgiven on the cross. Symbols of Messiah in the Branch and the Stone are seen as well.
