We are now going to be shown YHVH'S 7,000, HIS Zadok Priesthood. 

Zech 3:1-10 
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. 

What does the name "Joshua" mean? 
"Joshua" means 'YHVH IS SALVATION'. 
'YHVH IS SALVATION', is to say, YAHSHUA, YHVH'S SAVIOR. 

Note that Joshua is the "high priest". 
And, he is making his stand for YHVH. 
And, Satan, of course, is there to resist him. 
But, note that Satan is standing "at his right hand". That is to say that Satan is standing in the south looking to the north. What did we learn about the word "north"? 
This word "north" is the Hebrew word tsaapown, and refers to 'that which is dark, hidden, lurking'. 


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? 

"The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan" 
HE has shown us not to contend with Satan, but to rebuke him. 
And, we should rebuke Satan and all evil, in the Name of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
Yet, it is YHVH whom we are petitioning. 
'YHVH, in the Name of YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST, we ask that YOU sharply reprimand Satan.' 
YHVH'S reprimand will cause Satan to flee. 

"even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee" 
Even The LORD, who has elected the teaching of peace, reprimand you, Satan, and cause you to flee! 

"is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?" 
This is speaking of Joshua, who is representative of the high priests, The 7,000. 
The "fire" refers to YHVH'S Wrath. And, the "brand" speaks of a firebrand or poker which is used to stir the embers. 
To be "plucked out" speaks of 'being preserved'. 


3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 

As was Joshua, YHVH'S 7,000 (today in the flesh) are clothed "with filthy garments" spiritually speaking. 


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. 
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. 


When YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT comes upon HIS 7,000, (2nd Baptism) they shall be clothed with righteous robes as was Joshua, the high priest. 
This is YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT who shall cause these vessels (flesh men) to be spiritually cleansed, and fit to carry forth HIS HOLY SPIRIT. 
And, then, it shall no longer be the flesh servants spirit which shall speak, but YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT. 
The righteous robes and that which comes upon their heads shall protect these as they are sealed. 

Let us look again at the 2nd Baptism. 

907 baptizo- 
1) to dip repeatedly, to immerse, to submerge (used of vessels sunk) 
2) to cleanse by dipping or submerging, to wash, to make clean with water, to wash oneself, to bathe 
3) to overwhelm Not to be confused with 0911, bapto. The clearest example that shows the meaning of baptizo is a text from the Greek poet and physician Nicander, who lived about 200 B. C. It is a recipe for making pickles and is helpful because it uses both words. Nicander says that in order to make a pickle, the vegetable should first be `dipped' (bapto) into boiling water and then `baptized' (baptizo) in the vinegar solution. Both verbs concern the immersing of vegetables in a solution. But the first is temporary. The second, the act of baptizing the vegetable, produces a permanent change. 
When used in the New Testament, this word more often refers to our union and identification with Christ than to our water baptism. For example, Mark 16:16. `He that believes and is baptized shall be saved'. Christ is saying that mere intellectual assent is not enough. There must be a union with him, a real change, like the vegetable to the pickle! --Bible Study Magazine, James Montgomery Boice (May, 1989). 

This "fair mitre upon his head" can also be seen in the word "crown" in Revelations. 

Rev 3:7-13 
7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth; 
8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. 
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 
10 Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. 
11 Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 
12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. 
13 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. (KJV) 


Zech 3: 
6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying, 
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. 

Please note the "If". 

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. 

Through these 7,000, YAHSHUA The SAVIOR shall be brought forth unto all the world by YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT which shall be upon these goodly vessels. 
The Messiah, YAHSHUA did come in the flesh, sprouting forth from the line out of David (the King line). 
And, HIS Truth shall be brought forth again to all the world before HE returns. 

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. 

What are these "seven eyes"? 

Rev 5:6 
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. (KJV) 

We shall see more about these "seven eyes" spoken of in chapter 4. 

"and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day" 
Now, this speaks of the land of Jerusalem. And, in the first moments of The LORD'S DAY, Jerusalem shall be  cleansed. There shall be nothing perverse or evil left in Jerusalem. 

10 In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.  (KJV)
