Zechariah 3
Zechariah 3 opens with these words: “He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.” The line to keep is Zechariah 3:1: “He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before Yahweh’s angel, and Satan standing at his right hand to be his adversary.” Carry the word “showed” from that verse into the rest of the day.

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

7“Yahweh of Armies says: ‘If you will walk in my ways, and if you will follow my instructions, then you also shall judge my house, and shall also keep my courts, and I will give you a place of access among these who stand by.
8Hear now, Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they are men who are a sign: for, behold, I will bring out my servant, the Branch.
9For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; on one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave its engraving,’ says Yahweh of Armies, ‘and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
