大祭司约书亚的异象

耶和华又使我看见大祭司约书亚站在耶和华的使者面前,撒但也站在约书亚右边控告他。 耶和华对撒但说:“撒但哪!耶和华斥责你,那拣选了耶路撒冷的耶和华斥责你。这个人不是从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?”

那时,约书亚穿著污秽的衣服,站在使者的面前。 使者吩咐那些侍立在他面前的说:“你们要脱去他污秽的衣服。”又对约书亚说:“看哪!我已经除去了你的罪孽,要给你穿上华美的礼服。”

我说:“你们要把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上。”他们就把洁净的冠冕戴在他的头上,又给他穿上华美的衣服。那时,耶和华的使者正在旁边站着。

耶和华的使者劝戒约书亚说: “万军之耶和华这样说:‘你若遵行我的道,谨守我的吩咐,你就必治理我的家,看守我的院子,我必赐你特权,可以在这些侍立在我面前的使者中间自由出入。 大祭司约书亚啊!你和坐在你面前的众同伴都要听,(他们都是预表将来奇事的人,)我必使我的仆人,就是大卫的苗裔出生。 看我在约书亚面前所立的石头,在这一块石头上有七眼。看哪!我要亲自雕琢这石头(这是万军之耶和华的宣告)。在一日之内,我要除去这地的罪孽。 10 到那日(这是万军之耶和华的宣告),你们各人要邀请自己的邻舍来,坐在葡萄树下和无花果树下。’”

约书亚大祭司

耶和华又让我看见约书亚大祭司站在祂的天使面前,撒旦站在约书亚的右边要控诉他。 耶和华对撒旦说:“撒旦啊,耶和华斥责你!拣选耶路撒冷的耶和华斥责你!这人岂不像从火中抽出来的一根柴吗?” 那时,约书亚穿着污秽的衣服站在天使面前。 天使对侍立在周围的说:“脱掉他污秽的衣服。”他又对约书亚说:“看啊,我已除掉你的罪,我要给你穿上华美的衣服。”

我说:“要给他戴上洁净的礼冠。”他们便给他戴上洁净的礼冠、穿上华美的衣服。那时,耶和华的天使站在旁边。

耶和华的天使告诫约书亚: “万军之耶和华说,‘你若遵行我的道,谨守我的吩咐,便可以管理我的家,看守我的院宇。我必让你在这些侍立的天使中间自由出入。 约书亚大祭司啊,你和坐在你面前的同伴们听着,你们都是将来之事的预兆——我将使我仆人大卫的苗裔兴起。 看啊,这是我在约书亚面前安置的石头,它有七眼[a],我要在上面刻上字,并在一天之内除掉这地方的罪。这是万军之耶和华说的。 10 到那天,你们将各自邀请邻居坐在葡萄树和无花果树下。这是万军之耶和华说的。’”

Joshua, the High Priest

Then he showed me (A)Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and [a](B)Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “(C)The Lord rebuke you, Satan! Indeed, the Lord who has (D)chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is this not a (E)brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was clothed with (F)filthy garments and standing before the angel. He spoke and said to those who were standing before him, saying, “(G)Remove the filthy garments from him.” Again he said to him, “See, I have (H)taken your iniquity away from you and [b]will (I)clothe you with festal robes.” Then I said, “Let them put a clean (J)turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments, while the angel of the Lord was standing by.

And the angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying, “Thus says the Lord of hosts, ‘If you will (K)walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also (L)govern My house and also have charge of My (M)courts, and I will grant you [c]free access among these who are standing here.

The Branch

Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you—indeed they are men who are a (N)symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the [d](O)Branch. For behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are (P)seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave an inscription on it,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘and I will (Q)remove the iniquity of that land in one day. 10 ‘In that day,’ declares the Lord of hosts, ‘every one of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his (R)vine and under his fig tree.’”

Clean Garments for the High Priest

Then he showed me Joshua(A) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan[a](B) standing at his right side to accuse him. The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you,(C) Satan! The Lord, who has chosen(D) Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick(E) snatched from the fire?”(F)

Now 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,(G) and I will put fine garments(H) on you.”

Then I said, “Put a clean turban(I) on his head.” 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: “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements,(J) then you will govern my house(K) and have charge(L) of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.(M)

“‘Listen, High Priest(N) Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic(O) of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.(P) See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua!(Q) There are seven eyes[b](R) on that one stone,(S) and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin(T) of this land in a single day.

10 “‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit(U) under your vine and fig tree,(V)’ declares the Lord Almighty.”

And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.

And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?

Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.

And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.

And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by.

And the angel of the Lord protested unto Joshua, saying,

Thus saith the Lord of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.

For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
