3 VISION OF JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST (number 4 of 9)
Zec 3:2 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?
Zec 3:3 Now
Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the
angel.
Zec 3:4 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.
Zec 3:5 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.
Zec 3:6 And
the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Zec 3:7
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.
Zec 3:8
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.
Zec 3:9 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.
Zec 3:10 In
that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his
neighbour under the
vine and under the fig tree.
The pure
mitre is
made like a close fitting butcher’s cap or turban or headband, that
covers the
head and hair, and is made up of fine linen (Ex 39:28). As salvation is
of the
head (Eph 6:17), a fine, white and pure head covering symbolizes the
pure and
righteous salvation that can only be found with Christ.
The BRANCH
is Christ
to come
The stone
represents Christ as
is a stone of stumbling (Is 8:14)
Seven eyes
of the Lord
search
and survey the earth (Zech 4:10) with great speed – they are running.
The vine Christ is
the vine
The fig
tree is the
covering of
Christ’s righteousness
(number
5 of 9)
Zec 4:2 And
said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick
all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven
lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which
are upon
the top thereof:
Zec 4:3 And
two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the
bowl, and
the other upon the left side thereof.
Zec 4:4 So
I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are
these,
my lord?
Zec 4:5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me,
Knowest
thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Zec 4:6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of
the LORD
unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by
my spirit,
saith the LORD of hosts.
Zec 4:7 Who
art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become
a plain:
and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying,
Grace, grace unto it.
Zec 4:8 Moreover the
word of the LORD came unto me,
saying,
Zec 4:9 The
hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his
hands
shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath
sent me
unto you.
Zec 4:10
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall
rejoice,
and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven;
they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the
whole
earth.
Zec 4:11
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive
trees
upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side
thereof?
Zec 4:12
And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two
olive
branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil
out
of themselves?
Zec 4:13
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And
I said,
No, my lord.
Zec 4:14
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that
stand by the
LORD of the whole earth.
Candlestick
represents
Israel bringing light into the world and
Christ is the great light (Is 9:2).
The
candlestick has
7 lamps and 7 pipes as seven
is one of the perfect numbers in the scriptures and stands
for God. Although
the physical candlestick
Not by
might, nor by power, but by my spirit God fought
Israel’s
battles and it was not of their power.
Headstone
Christ is
the headstone and the corner stone and the
stone that the builders rejected, but NEVER the capstone.
Two
olive trees are Moses
and Elijah (Rev
11:3-4). Olive trees can’t be killed. They survive for centuries and
are forever sprouting. Olive oil is taken from olive trees and is the
perfect
oil for light.
Zerubbabel started
to build the temple when they first returned from Babylon (Ezra
5:2)
The
plummet – used in
building to
get vertical and upright structures. It’s a weight on the string.
The seven
eyes of the Lord, along with
the
plummet, run to and fro, in the world looking for righteous and upright
people.
Moses
and Elijah are
anointed with the oil of God. Christians today
are also anointed.
Golden stands
for God and the deity of God.
Pipes signify
that the oil flows from God into the lamps and the anointed ones
Moses and Elijah.
Zec 5:2 And
he said unto me, What seest thou? And I answered, I see a flying roll;
the length
thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits.
Zec 5:3
Then said he unto me, This is the curse that goeth
forth over the
face of the whole earth: for every one that stealeth shall
be cut off
as on this side according to it; and every one that sweareth
shall be
cut off as on that side according to it.
Zec 5:4 I
will bring it forth, saith the LORD of hosts, and it shall enter into
the house
of the thief, and into the house of him that sweareth
falsely by
my name: and it shall remain in the midst of his house, and
shall consume
it with the timber thereof and the stones thereof.
Lifted up God is
above and is in heaven. Men
must lift their eyes to God. God looks down.
Roll is God’s
law Ezra
6:2; Isaiah 8:1; Jer 36:2; Ezek 3:1-3
A roll
represents the roll
upon which the name Mahershalalhashbaz which means Samaria, the
northern
tribes, will be taken away by Assyria (Isaiah 8:1). It represents the
wrath of
God.
A roll also
represents
words that are written down against Israel (Jer 36:2)
Flying things
are an
abomination and a curse (Lev 11:21; Is 14:29; Rev 8:13)
Flying roll is
something that circles the earth.
The flying
roll
represents the porch
before the temple of the house (1 Kin 6:34) which was twenty cubits
length
and ten cubits wide. On either side of the porch were two pillars
– the
right side was Jachin, which was son of the tribe of Simeon
and
the left side was Boaz, who was a son of Abraham. Now Simeon
was called an instrument of cruelty and represents wrath and revenge of
God as
restored the honour of their sister Dinah (Gen 34:25; 49:5), Simeon
was
also taken and bound by Joseph, being a type of Jesus (Gen
42:24) Boaz
was in the godly line of Jesus (Matt 1:5).
So on both
sides of
the entry into the temple, people were reminded of the wrath of Christ
and the
future eternal salvation to be found in him.
Curse – the
flying roll is a curse as it is God’s
law and the earth is being judged according to God’s laws.
10x20
cubits = holy
measurements ie 1Kings 6:3
measurement of Solomon’s temple porch; 2Chron 4:1 size of the altar of
brass;
Ezek 41:2 holy measurements of a door in the Millenial temple. Altar of
brass
(2Chron 4:1). Brass represents a curse and it represents the law for
those that
steal and swear false oaths
Stealing
and swearing – ‘stealing’
from God
and swearing false oaths (not swearing as in ‘dirty’ words and
talk). Thou
shalt not steal from God or others.
Chapter
5:5-11 VISION OF THE FLYING EPHAH (number 7 of 9)
Zec 5:6 And
I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah that goeth
forth. He
said moreover, This is their resemblance through all the earth.
Zec 5:7
And, behold, there was lifted up a talent of lead: and
this is a woman
that sitteth in the midst of the ephah.
Zec 5:8 And
he said, This is wickedness. And he cast it into the midst of
the ephah;
and he cast the weight of lead upon the mouth thereof.
Zec 5:9
Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, behold, there came
out two
women, and the wind was in their wings; for they had wings like
the
wings of a stork: and they lifted up the ephah between the
earth and
the heaven.
Zec 5:10
Then said I to the angel that talked with me, Whither do these
bear the
ephah?
Zec 5:11
And he said unto me, To build it an house in the land of
Shinar:
and it shall be established, and set there upon her own base.
Resemblance
This
basket
represents the earth
Lead is not
gold or
silver but worthless; heavy, and represents sin
Cast the
weight of the lead upon the mouth
means
the woman can’t get out of the basket.
Storks are
unclean birds
Leviticus 11:19, and a
stork in
the heaven knoweth her appointed times (Jer 8:7). It’s now time for
Babylon
(Rome) to be revealed who she really is, as she returns to her home in
Babylon.
Birds represent
sin
Woman is not a
virgin,
wife or bride. Represent a sinful system. Represents Babylon and modern
day
Roman Catholicism that came out of Babylon. Called the whore of Babylon
(Rev17:1,5,15,16; Rev 19:2)
Three women stands
for triple Babylon – triple
the whore of Babylon.
Shinar is
Babylon Gen
Satan
(indeed Judas) has his own place
Acts 1:25
Her own
base is in
Babylon
This is where she came from and returns to. A base from which to
operate.
Israel has
her own place in Jerusalem (Zech
12:6; Rev 12:14).
