Charles Ellicott Commentary Zechariah 3:6-10

"And the angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee a place of access among these that stand by. Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee; for they are men that are a sign: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch. For, behold, the stone that I have set before Joshua; upon one stone are seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day. In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig-tree." — Zechariah 3:6-10 (ASV)

The angel of the Lord now proclaims to Joshua a fourfold promise:

1. The confirmation of his official authority, and the elevation of his own spiritual nature;
2. The mission of the Saviour;
3. God’s providential care for the House, which was being rebuilt;
4. The peace and prosperity of the nation.
