Zechariah 3:4 KJV
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.
Joshua is seen
• First in filthy garments
• Then in a change of raiment
• Finally with a fair mitre
Joshua was the high priest when the Jews returned to the Promised Land. The filthy garments represented, not his personal sin, though as a man, his was included, but the sin of Israel.
• The change of raiment represented righteousness placed upon him.
• The fair mitre indicated the crowning glory of the office he held and
• The garment that represented that office.
The name Joshua is the Hebrew version of the very name of Jesus. While Joshua was a historical figure; real and literal, he becomes a type of the soon to come Messiah:
The filthy rags indicated that Jesus became sin for us.
In His thirty three years he was tempted of the devil and accused by those around him. He was tried and crucified with common thieves.
The change of raiment is a type of His resurrection.
He arose victorious over our sins and presented Himself alive for forty days.
The fair mitre represents His ascension into glory.
That Christ is today at the right had if the Father is the proof that His work on the Cross was accepted and effectual.
