Zechariah 3:8

The Coming Branch

6 Then the Angel of the Lord admonished Joshua, saying,

7 “Thus says the Lord of hosts:
‘If you will walk in My ways,
And if you will ^akeep My command,
Then you shall also ^bjudge My house,
And likewise have charge of My courts;
I will give you places to walk
Among these who ^cstand here.

8 ‘Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,
You and your companions who sit before you,
For they are ^a¹a wondrous sign;
For behold, I am bringing forth ^bMy Servant the ^cBRANCH.

9 For behold, the stone
That I have laid before Joshua:
^aUpon the stone are ^bseven eyes.
Behold, I will engrave its inscription,’
Says the Lord of hosts,
‘And ^cI will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

10 ^aIn that day,’ says the Lord of hosts,
‘Everyone will invite his neighbor
^bUnder his vine and under his fig tree.’ ”

What Does Zechariah 3:8 Mean?

Zechariah 3:8-9

Here the Branch is called God's Servant, taking away iniquity in one day. This is exactly what Christ did, and is reminiscent of Paul's description in Philippians 2:7: "But [Christ Jesus] made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a servant. . . ."
