Zakarias 3

Studie

   

1 Derpå lod han mig se Ypperstepræsten Josua, og han stod foran HE ENs Engel, medens Satan stod ved hans højre Side for at føre Klage imod ham.

2 Men HE EN,sagde til Satan: "HE EN true dig, Satan, HE EN true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en Brand, som er reddet ud af Ilden?"

3 Josua havde snavsede Klæder på og stod foran Engelen;

4 men denne tog til Orde og sagde til dem, som stod ham til Tjeneste: "Tag de snavsede Klæder af ham!" Og til ham sagde han: "Se, jeg har taget din Skyld fra dig, og du skal have Højtidsklæder på."

5 Og han sagde: "Sæt et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved!" Og de satte et rent Hovedbind på hans Hoved og gav ham rene Klæder på. Så trådte HE ENs Engel frem,

6 og HE ENs Engel vidnede for Josua og sagde:

7 siger Hærskarers HE E: Hvis du vandrer på mine Veje og holder mine Forskrifter, skal du både åde i mit Hus og vogte mine Forgårde, og jeg giver dig Gang og Sæde blandt dem, som står her"

8 Hør, du Ypperstepræst Josua, du og dine Embedsbrødre, som sidder for dit Ansigt: de er Varselmænd! Thi se, jeg lader min Tjener Zemak komme.

9 Thi se, den Sten, jeg lægger hen for Josua - på den ene Sten er syv Øjne - se, jeg rister selv dens Indskrift, lyder det fra Hærskarers HE E, og på een Dag udsletter jeg dette Lands Skyld.

10 På hin Dag, lyder det fra Hærskarers HE E, skal I byde hverandre til Gæst under Vinstok og Figenfræ.

Jerusalem

  

Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.
