Zechariah 3:2

“And the Lord said unto Satan, etc.] The same with the Angel of the Lord, (<380301>Zechariah 3:1) having heard the charge brought by him against Joshua, here called Jehovah, being the Son of God, and properly God: The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; these words may be considered, either as the intercession of Jehovah the Son with Jehovah the Father, for Joshua and his church, and against Satan; that he would reprove him for his malice and wickedness; stop his mouth, and silence him, that he might not go on to accuse; that he would confound his schemes, and restrain him from doing mischief; tread him down, and bruise him under the feet of his people, and pour out his wrath upon him: or as a…”

“the Lord--JEHOVAH, hereby identified with the "angel of the Lord (Jehovah)" (Zac 3:1). rebuke thee--twice repeated to express the certainty of Satan's accusations and machinations against Jerusalem being frustrated. Instead of lengthened argument, Jehovah silences Satan by the one plea, namely, God's choice. chosen Jerusalem-- (Rom 9:16; Rom 11:5). The conclusive answer. If the issue rested on Jerusalem's merit or demerit, condemnation must be the award; but Jehovah's "choice" (Joh 15:16) rebuts Satan's charge against Jerusalem (Zac 1:17; Zac 2:12; Rom 8:33-34, Rom 8:37), represented by Joshua (compare in the great atonement, Lev 16:6-20, &c.), not that she may continue in sin, but be freed…”

“And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee - Jerome: “This they so explain, that the Father and the Son is Lord, as we read in the Psalms 110:1-7, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou on My right hand.” The Lord speaketh of another Lord; not that He, the Lord who speaketh, cannot rebuke, but that, from the unity of nature, when the Other rebuketh, He Himself who speaketh rebuketh. For “he who seeth the Son, seeth the Father also” John 14:9. It may be that God, by such sayings , also accustomed people, before Christ came, to believe in the Plurality of Persons in the One Godhead. The rebuke of God must be with power. “Thou hast rebuked the nations, Thou hast destroyed the ungodly”…”

“The Lord - Christ, as a mediator, rather chuses to rebuke him in his father's name, than in his own. Is not this - Joshua. Zechariah 3:3”

“3:2-3 The Lord is both defense attorney and judge; he censures the prosecution’s arguments, dismisses the case, and declares Jeshua innocent because he has been chosen and cleansed by God. • Like a burning stick that has been snatched from the fire, Jeshua and other Hebrew exiles were plucked by God from near destruction in Babylon. • Jeshua’s filthy clothes (3:4) symbolize the guilt and pollution of sin that prompted the divine judgment of exile. The accusations of Satan probably implied that just as a polluted priest was unfit for Temple service, the Hebrews were unfit to be God’s chosen people.”

“the Lord said: Psa 109:31; Luk 22:32; Rom 16:20; Jo1 3:8 The Lord rebuke: Dan 12:1; Mar 1:25; Luk 4:35, Luk 9:42; Jde 1:9; Rev 12:9, Rev 12:10 chosen: Zac 1:17, Zac 2:12; Ch2 6:6; Joh 13:18; Rom 8:33; Rev 17:14 a brand: Amo 4:11; Rom 11:4, Rom 11:5; Jde 1:23 Zechariah 3:3”
