The Book of Zechariah - A contemporary of Haggai, the prophet Zechariah is tasked by God to call those returning from exile to rebuild, not just the temple, but their relationship with God. In chapter 3, Zechariah describes the vision of Joshua, the High Priest, standing unworthily in the presence of God with Satan there to accuse him. It is God who takes away Joshua's unclean garments and gives the him new garments of righteousness. This is what Jesus accomplishes for us. By His atonement and resurrection, Jesus provides a way for us, as sinful people, to stand in the presence of a Holy God.
