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.’ ”

Zechariah 3:8

O Joshua - thou, and thy fellows - Thy countrymen, who have now returned from your captivity, in a very wonderful manner. anshey mopheth , figurative men, men whose office and ministration prefigured the Lord Jesus Christ; and therefore it is immediately added, "I will bring forth my servant The Branch." Abp. Newcome thinks this means Zerubbabel, so called because he was the grandson of Jehoiakim, or Jeconiah, king of Judah, Matthew 1:12, and heir to the throne of Judah. The Chaldee has, "My servant the Messiah." See the note on Isaiah 4:2 (note). I think the word cannot apply to Zerubbabel, except as a type of Christ; in that sense it may be understood of him. See Zechariah 6:11, Zechariah 6:12.
