1 [The horse-riding angel] shows me JAHshua, [Jerusalem's] high priest. [JahShua] stands facing YHVH's messenger-angel. Satan stands at [JAHshua's] right hand, attacking & accusing & resisting [JAHshua]. JahShua doubly refers to the then-current high-priest in Jerusalem, as well as to the coming Messiah, also named Yahshua. This prophecy may even refer backward in time to Moses' right hand man of the same name, Joshua.2 [The Angel of] YHVH says to the adversary, β YHVH rebukes you, Satan! YHVH rejects [your corrupt accusations]. [YAH] chooses the City-Of-Peace. [Hebrews are] like a firebrand [YHVH] snatches and rescues out of [judgment's] flames!β 3 JAHshua stands, clothed in [filthy] feces-covered garments. He faces the angel [of YHVH]. Judeo-Christian history is not the story of the clean, innocent people. It's the story of guilty, corrupt, dirty, shameful, warmongering, hateful, hypocritical, wicked, evil "Judeo-Christian" people to whom YHVH shows his unbelievable mercy. | YAH Rescues JAHshua and Lifts Him High | 4 [YAH's Angel] eyes [JAHshua]. [The angel] orders the [angels] who stand facing him, βStrip the filthy [feces-smelling] garments from [JAHshua's body].β [The Angel says] to JAHshua, βLook. I cause your depravity to pass from you. I clothe you with new body-armor.
5 β [Angels,] I order [you] to place a clean turban upon [JAHshua's] head.β While the angel of YHVH stands [overseeing,] the [worker-angels] wrap a clean head-dress around [JAHshua's] head. They clothe [JAHshua] with fine robes. Never make fun of people who wear turbans. Don't insult them by calling them rag-heads. YHVH himself puts turbans on the heads of those he blesses.6 YHVH's angel warns JAHshua:7 "YHVH-Commander-Of-Armies says, βWhen you [repenters] walk in my ways, when you keep vigilant guard, [hedging out all wickedness,] when you straightly-direct my house, and keep my villages [and courts], I give you access [to] walk among these [ruling arch-angels] standing here [in heaven].8 Hear now, JAHshua, high priest, and your associates who sit facing [these angelic] Miracle-Men: Watch me sprout [forth My] servant: the BRANCH [the Messiah]. Branch = 6779 tsamach tsaw-makh' = to sprout, bear, bring, bud, grow, spring (forth, up).
Apparently, previously-unmentioned associates of Joshua now appear beside Joshua, watching the vision with him.9 See the stone I lay before JAHshua's face: a united stone with infinite wide-open eyes. [On the stone lie] engraved the oracles of YHVH-King-Of-All-Beings. Watch [the stone] remove the punishment ( [for the] world's immorality) in one day.β Or 1 stone with 7 eyes. A reference to the Messiah destroying Satan's power by allowing Satan to murder him. | |
