The vision of the four chariots.9. By the crowns of Joshua are shown the temple and kingdom of Christ the Branch. Take silver and gold In the context of Zechariah's vision, silver and gold symbolize wealth and purity. These metals were often used in the construction of sacred objects in the temple (Exodus 25:3). The use of these precious metals signifies the importance and sacredness of the task at hand. Historically, silver and gold were common in the Persian Empire, which ruled over Judah at the time, indicating the resources available for the temple's restoration. Make an ornate crown And set it on the head of the high priest, Joshua son of Jehozadak Persons / Places / Events 1. ZechariahA prophet who received visions and messages from God to encourage the Israelites during the rebuilding of the temple after the Babylonian exile. 2. Joshua son of Jehozadak The high priest at the time of Zechariah, representing the spiritual leadership of Israel. His crowning symbolizes the unification of priestly and kingly roles. 3. The Temple The central place of worship for the Israelites, being rebuilt during Zechariah's time, symbolizing God's presence among His people. 4. Silver and Gold Precious metals used to create the ornate crown, symbolizing purity, value, and divine authority. 5. The Crown Represents authority and honor, traditionally associated with kingship, but here placed on a high priest, foreshadowing the coming Messiah who would be both priest and king. Teaching Points The Dual Role of ChristZechariah's vision foreshadows Jesus Christ, who fulfills both the priestly and kingly roles, bridging the gap between God and humanity. Symbolism of the Crown The crown signifies authority and honor. In our lives, we are called to recognize Christ's authority and honor Him as both our Savior and Lord. The Importance of Obedience Just as Joshua was obedient in his role, we are called to faithfully serve in the roles God has given us, trusting in His plan and timing. God's Sovereignty in Restoration The rebuilding of the temple and the crowning of Joshua symbolize God's power to restore and renew. We can trust God to restore our lives and communities. Unity in Christ The unification of the priestly and kingly roles in Christ calls us to unity in the body of Christ, working together for His kingdom purposes.Verse 11. - Silver and gold. That which had been brought from Babylon. However unwilling the Jews were to let the Samaritans take part in the good work, they were quite ready to receive contributions from their brethren in the dispersion, and likewise from heathen kings and princes (see Ezra 6:8, etc.; Ezra 7:15, etc.). Make crowns. The prophet was to get the crowns made (comp. Exodus 25, passim). The plural may here be used intensively for "a noble crown," as in Job 31:36; or it may signify the two metals of which the crown was made, two or more wreaths being intertwined to form it. It is certain that only one crown was to be made, and that that was to be placed on Joshua's head. There is no mention of Zerubbabel in the passage; so the plural cannot be taken to intimate that there was a crown for the high priest and a crown for the princely ruler, as Ewald and Bunsen assert. These critics, followed by Hitzig and Wellhausen, supply the passage thus: "on the head of Zerubbabel and on the head of Joshua." Zerubbabel had no kingly position. Rather, all mention of Zerubbabel is expressly excluded, in order to denote that in the Person of him whom Joshua symbolized, the offices of priest and king were united (Psalm 110). We may note that in Revelation 19:12 Christ is said to have on his head many crowns, by which is meant a diadem composed of many circlets. The high priest's mitre is never called a crown. That which was placed on Joshua's head was a royal crown, a token of royal dignity, not his own, but his whom he represented - Christ the eternal Priest, the universal King. Parallel Commentaries ...
