Zec 3:9 | MHM | STEP | v. 9 : God promises to bring my servant the Branch and to lay a precious stone before Joshua. This Branch is a name for the Messiah, who will grow from humble beginnings but bring life to many (Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5 ). The stone with seven eyes shows that Jesus has perfect wisdom and that all of God’s people look to Him. God says, I will engrave its inscription , meaning He will give Christ great honor and make Him the foundation for His people. God’s words, “I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day” , point to the day Jesus died on the cross, taking away sin once and for all (Hebrews 10:1; Daniel 9:24 ). This symbolizes both forgiveness and the work of salvation being completed in a single act.

‏ Zechariah 3:9

v. 9: God promises to bring my servant the Branch and to lay a precious stone before Joshua. This Branch is a name for the Messiah, who will grow from humble beginnings but bring life to many (Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5 ^a). The stone with seven eyes shows that Jesus has perfect wisdom and that all of God’s people look to Him. God says, I will engrave its inscription, meaning He will give Christ great honor and make Him the foundation for His people. God’s words, “I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day”, point to the day Jesus died on the cross, taking away sin once and for all (Hebrews 10:1; Daniel 9:24 ^b). This symbolizes both forgiveness and the work of salvation being completed in a single act.
