Fourth Vision: Joshua’s New Clothes

3Next the Messenger-Angel showed me the high priest Joshua. He was standing before GOD's Angel where the Accuser showed up to accuse him.H7200H3091H1419H3548H5975H6440H4397H3068H7854H5975H3225H7853 2Then GOD said to the Accuser, "I, GOD, rebuke you, Accuser! I rebuke you and choose Jerusalem. Surprise! Everything is going up in flames, but I reach in and pull out Jerusalem!"H3068H559H7854H3068H1605H7854H3068H977H3389H1605H181H5337H784 3Joshua, standing before the angel, was dressed in dirty clothes.H3091H3847H6674H899H5975H6440H4397 4The angel spoke to his attendants, "Get him out of those filthy clothes," and then said to Joshua, "Look, I've stripped you of your sin and dressed you up in clean clothes."H6030H559H5975H6440H559H5493H6674H899H559H7200H5771H5674H3847H4254 5I spoke up and said, "How about a clean new turban for his head also?" And they did it—put a clean new turban on his head. Then they finished dressing him, with GOD's Angel looking on.H559H7760H2889H6797H7218H7760H2889H6797H7218H3847H899H4397H3068H5975 6GOD's Angel then charged Joshua,H4397H3068H5749H3091H559 7"Orders from GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies: 'If you live the way I tell you and remain obedient in my service, then you'll make the decisions around here and oversee my affairs. And all my attendants standing here will be at your service.H559H3068H6635H3212H1870H8104H4931H1777H1004H8104H2691H5414H4108H5975 8"'Careful, High Priest Joshua—both you and your friends sitting here with you, for your friends are in on this, too! Here's what I'm doing next: I'm introducing my servant Branch.H8085H3091H1419H3548H7453H3427H6440H582H4159H935H5650H6780 9And note this: This stone that I'm placing before Joshua, a single stone with seven eyes'—Decree of GOD-of-the-Angel-Armies—'I'll engrave with these words: "I'll strip this land of its filthy sin, all at once, in a single day."H68H5414H6440H3091H259H68H7651H5869H6605H6603H5002H3068H6635H4185H5771H776H259H3117 10"'At that time, everyone will get along with one another, with friendly visits across the fence, friendly visits on one another's porches.'"H3117H5002H3068H6635H7121H376H7453H1612H8384
