THE MESSAGE
Zechariah 3
5 I spoke up and said, "How about a clean new turban for his head also?" And they did it—put a clean new turban on his head. Then they finished dressing him, with God's Angel looking on.6-7 God's Angel then charged Joshua, "Orders from God-of-the-Angel-Armies: ‘If you live the way I tell you and remain obedient in my service, then you'll make the decisions around here and oversee my affairs. And all my attendants standing here will be at your service.8-9 "‘Careful, High Priest Joshua—both you and your friends sitting here with you, for your friends are in on this, too! Here's what I'm doing next: I'm introducing my servant Branch. And note this: This stone that I'm placing before Joshua, a single stone with seven eyes'—Decree of God-of-the-Angel-Armies—‘I'll engrave with these words: "I'll strip this land of its filthy sin, all at once, in a single day."
10 "‘At that time, everyone will get along with one another, with friendly visits across the fence, friendly visits on one another's porches.'"
