Rev. Daniel Olson, pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Luxemburg, Wisconsin, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Zechariah 3.

Why is the high priest wearing filthy robes, and why is Satan standing next to him? More important for chapter 3 however is the third figure: the Angel of the LORD, the Lord Christ before His birth.

He commands Satan to back down, cleanses Joshua the priest of sin, and dresses him like a proper high priest—Christ is both the fulfillment and the foundation of the priesthood. Joshua is then presented with a seven-faceted stone with a mysterious inscription, possibly referenced in Revelation 2:17. Christ was at work to rebuild the temple and later to re-introduce God’s Word through Ezra, since Christ is both temple and Word Himself.
