Zechariah 3:1 open_in_new
Joshua
The fifth vision discloses:
(1) The change from self-righteousness to the righteousness of God
( See Scofield) - (Romans 3:21).
of which Paul's experience, (Philippians 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) - (Isaiah 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 (Romans 10:1-4); (Romans 11:7); (Romans 11:8).
Compare (Zechariah 6:12-15) which speaks of the manifestation of the BRANCH in glory (Zechariah 3:13) as the Priest-King, when Israel will receive Him.
( See Scofield) - (Hebrews 5:6).
