Commentary on Zechariah (420)

(Chapter III - Verse 1 and following) And he showed me Jesus, the great high priest, standing before the angel of the Lord: and Satan was standing at his right hand to oppose him. And the Lord said to Satan: May the Lord rebuke you, Satan, may the Lord rebuke you who has chosen Jerusalem. Is this not a brand plucked out of the fire? And Jesus was clothed in filthy garments, and he stood before the face of the angel who responded and said to those who stood before him, saying: Take away the filthy garments from him.

He stood by, as one well pleased with it, and resolved to stand by the orders he had given for the doing of it and to continue his presence with that priesthood. The covenant of the priesthood is renewed with him, which is called God's covenant of peace, Num. xxv. Mr. Pemble calls it the patent of his office, which is here declared and delivered to him before witnesses,

And I said, let them set a fair mitre on his head - This seems to have been purposely omitted, in order to leave something, and that, the completion of all, to be done at the intercession of the prophet.

Charles Spurgeon

1834–1892

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 611: “Zechariah'S Vision Of Joshua The High Priest” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1865)

THE original intention of this vision was to foretell the revival of the Jewish state after its long depression through the Babylonian captivity. Joshua, the high priest, with his tattered garments, must be looked upon as the type of the Jewish people in their deep distress. He was ministering before the Lord in worn and filthy garments, to show at once the sin of Israel and the poverty into which they had fallen.
