From Zechariah 6:1-15, Brother Gideon Levytam concludes his study of the prophet’s eight night visions with a striking picture of the Lord’s coming judgment. Zechariah beholds four chariots emerging from between two mountains of brass, identified with Mount Moriah and the Mount of Olives, surrounding the Valley of Yehoshaphat, where the Lord will judge the nations. These chariots represent the heavenly spirits sent forth from before the Lord to carry out His judgment upon the nations and in connection with His dealings with Israel. Following this final vision, the Lord commands Zechariah to perform a prophetic act by placing crowns of silver and gold upon the head of Joshua (Yehoshua) the high priest. Brother Gideon explains that this unusual act points to Yeshua the Messiah, “the Branch” (HaTzemach), who will come and unite in Himself both the kingly and priestly offices. Though the priest came from Levi and the king from Judah, the Messiah will be both King and Priest after the order of Melchizedek. He will build the temple of the Lord, bear the glory, and rule upon His throne in the coming Messianic Kingdom.
