Zec 3:5 | KingComments | STEP | The prophet – ‘I’ here is not the LORD, but Zechariah – is so involved in this scene and so aware of God’s thoughts, that he makes a request to which the angels respond. He says that they must put on a clean turban on the high priest’s head. Is there also a willingness with us to help, so that our brother or sister can return to the holy fellowship with the Lord? The Angel of the LORD is standing by. All this takes place in His presence as proof that He is in complete agreement with it.
