Zechariah3:2

2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan: even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: Is not this a brand pluckt out of the fire ?

i. e. Christ the great Redeemer, Restorer, Lord and Mediator of the Church.

The Great God Father of our Lord Jesus Christ▪ who as Mediator rather chooseth to rebuke him in his Fathers Name, then in his own; though this he could have done.

He who was accused, was Gods High Priest, and to minister in the Temple at Ierusalem the City which God had chosen, in which respect it was sure that God would take cognisance of the Matter and Judge aright. He would prohibit Satan's attempts.

This man, this Ioshua.

Like a brand half burnt, or all smutty with long lying in the fire of Affliction? Reject him not for this
