1294 Does God Still Defend Israel? What Zechariah 3 Proves

15 Mar 2026In Zechariah 3, Joshua, representing Israel, stands before God in filthy garments, symbolising sin and defilement. Despite this, God defends Joshua, not based on his merit, but on His sovereign choice and covenant promise to Jerusalem. This passage highlights God’s mercy and faithfulness, demonstrating that His election of Israel is not nullified by their sin, a truth that also applies spiritually to believers in Christ.
