Zechariah 3:1-5 is an interesting passage. It is the beginning of the fourth vision given to Zechariah, and it demonstrates the work of the Messiah in is intercession for us in verses 1-2, and His intercessory work for in verses 3-5. In the vision Zechariah was allowed to see a confrontation between the high priest, Satan, and The Angel of the LORD (in the context that is the Messiah), and we see how The Angel of the LORD, shuts down the accusations of Satan against the high priest, and this demonstrates the reality of the Messiah’s intercession as described in the book of Hebrews 4:14-16. What a privilege it is to know that we have an advocate with the Father, who is Jesus Christ (1 John 2:1), the second part of this passage, pictures the work of imputation of The Angel of the LORD’s righteousness, as we see The Angel (Messiah), commanding that the high priest’s filthy garments be removed, and that he be dressed in fine attire! This is a reminder that the righteousness that we have that permits us to stand in the presence of God is that of our Savior! What a wonderful reminder of the privilege that we have as those who trust in Jesus as our savior.
