The New Garment


                                                              



Zechariah 3
V1 And He shewed me Joshua (Jeshua) the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and satan standing at His right hand to resist (accuse) him. 
The word "accuse" in Hebrew has the same root as "satan" in some texts. Helps you to evaluate whose camp you're in when you're accusing people.
V2 and the Lord said unto satan, the Lord rebuke you, Oh satan; even the Lord that has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you: is not this a burning stick plucked out of the fire? ( the Jews were retrieved from the fires of Babylonian exile to carry out God's future purpose for them.) We all, who are born again, have been rescued from the fire and clothed in righteousness (Christ) for God's kingdom purpose.
Jude
V22 Be merciful to those who doubt; snatch others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh
V3 now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
V4 and he answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, "Behold, I have caused your iniquity (sin) to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment (rich garments).
V5 and I said, Let them set a fair mitre (turban) upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head and clothed him with rich garments. And the angel of the Lord stood by. ( On the turban it was written: "Holy To The Lord")
V6 and the angel of the Lord gave this charge unto Joshua saying,
V7 This is what the Lord Almighty says, "If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep my requirements, then you shall also judge (govern) My house, and shall also keep (have charge over) My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
V8 "Listen, Oh high priest Joshua and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch. 
V9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it, says the Lord Almighty, and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
V10 In that day each of you will invite his neighbor to sit under his vine and fig tree, declares the Lord Almighty." ( Pray this over our land!)
       
Jude
V24 Now to Him who  is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy.


Romans 8
V33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifies.


Isaiah 61 
V10 I delight greatly in the Lord; my soul rejoices in my God. For He has clothed me with garments of salvation and arrayed me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom adorns his head like a priest, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
