The word ministry can be defined as anything done in the name of the Lord that adds value to other people or things. But nevertheless, if we acknowledge the fact that it is conceivable that there is a God and that he has revealed himself in the Zechariah Vision word of God and he has made certain promises in the Bible which he says are conditioned upon his own character, upon his own power and if there is this God who is this and he has done this, then we can expect him to fulfill his promises.
Then there is Ezekiel who also mentions a holy mountain (20:40 And in 40:2 he himself is taken to a very high mountain, to see the structure of a city and a special "house" inside of it. In 43 he sees the eastern gate, the inner court, the place of God's Throne "where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever." Now Revelation 21:3, speaking of the new heavens and the new earth, likewise talks of the "tabernacle" or dwelling-place, of God being with man.



The prophet is confident that this mountainous project can be completed with God's help and so, addressing the mountain of obstacles, asks rhetorically, Who are you, great mountain?” (v. 7). Mountain as metaphor for insuperable opposition or resistance is common in the OT, especially when it is overcome and reduced to a valley or plain (Isa.
Neither Ezra nor Nehemiah describes Joshua as high priest.” This is left to Haggai and Zechariah, though clearly the prominence of Joshua among the priests in even the accounts of Ezra and Nehemiah leaves no question that they also knew him as such (cf.

Was it not long ago said, Assuredly, a time is coming—declares the Lord—when it shall no more be said, ‘As the Lord lives, who brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt,' but rather (ki im), ‘As the Lord lives, who brought out and led the offspring of the House of Israel from the northland and from all the lands to which I have banished them'” (Jer.
Jerusalem, the city of our God” and The joy of the Whole Earth”, is also called by various prophets of Jahweh, The Harlot” the city of blood”, the Seething cauldron”, Sodom and Egypt, where our Lord was crucified”, and many other dreadful names of shame.
We may very properly take Joshua as a type of all the people of God, as they stand in their sense of sin and natural faultiness, subject to the accusations of Satan, but delivered by their ever gracious Lord; and the change of garments as exemplifying the forgiveness of sin and the imputation of the Saviour's righteousness, which is the joy of all believers.

454 This need not at all suggest that there had been party strife between the royal and priestly factions as Wellhausen, Haller, and Sellin proposed, for in the words of Van Hoonacker, les partis de Josue et de Zorobabel n'ont sans doute jamais exist que dans l'imagination trop fconde des historiens qui les out invents.” (the parties of Joshua and Zerubbabel have, without doubt, never existed except in the too fertile imagination of those who invented them”) (Van Hoonacker, Le Sacerdoce levitique, cited by Petitjean, Les Oracles du Proto-Zacharie, 293 n. 2).
After clean garments were given to Joshua, "they set a fair miter upon his head." A miter, or bishop's official hat, represents the intelligence and wisdom of the church, from knowledge and love of the spiritual truth taught by the Lord, in His holy Word.
And Joshua is hating himself too, and so I shall plunge him in despair, and make an end of the man.” Surely, so it would have been if the angel had not been there; but the angel of the Lord, by his presence, is always a wall of fire all around his people, and a glory in their midst.
