(KJV) Zechariah 6:13
Even he shall build the temple of the Lord; and he shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon his throne; and he shall be a priest upon his throne: and the counsel of peace shall be between them both
WILL BE A PRIEST ON HIS THRONE / ZECHARIAH 6:13
Two of the previous visions (fourth and fifth) had involved Joshua’s and Zerubbabel’s roles as priest and governor. In Zechariah 6:9-15, Zechariah relates the message of those visions to the final and highest King-Priest who is to come – the Messiah, or Christ. The Lord commanded Zechariah to make a crown of silver and gold and put it on Joshua, the high priest.
- Joshua’s coronation (the act or ceremony of crowning an official; in this case, a priest) points symbolically to the crowning and reign of Jesus, the Messiah, who is also referred to as the “Branch” (Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 33:15; Isaiah 53:2; Zechariah 3:8). Jesus would be both Priest and King. He would first do His priestly work by being Mediator of a renewed relationship between God and people (Isaiah 53:10; Luke 24:26); He would then reign in His rightful position as King of kings and Lord of lords (1 Timothy 6:15; Revelation 17:14; 19:16).
Jesus’ personal suffering and sacrifice allows us to have peace with God (Isaiah 9:6); in fact, Jesus is still our source of peace (Ephesians 2:14-15). Through a personal relationship with Him, we become part of God’s kingdom, which is a matter “of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit” (Romans 14:17). The complete fulfillment of Christ’s reign begins in the millennium (His thousand-year reign of peace, Revelation 20), when He will rule on earth at the end of history.
