 Verse 8 takes him {Joshua} up, and presents him, as a type of Christ in the days of the kingdom when He will associate Israel with Himself as a nation of priests. (Compare Rev. 1:5-6.) (Zechariah 3 by E. Dennett)
 Joshua and his companions, in this connection, shadows forth Christ in the midst of His “fellows” (Heb. 1:9), who, through association with Him, will then be a “chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation.” (Zechariah 3 by E. Dennett)
 The ground of all is the introduction of the Branch — the Messiah in whom, and by whom, all blessing, whether for the Church or for Israel, is secured. Both Isaiah and Jeremiah had prophesied of Christ in this character (Isa. 4:2; 11:1; Jer. 23:5; 33:15), and a single citation from one of these will explain its meaning. “There shall come forth a rod,” says Isaiah, “out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots” (Isa. 11:1). The figure of a branch is thus evidently derived from the fact that the Messiah has sprung from the family of David. (Zechariah 3 by E. Dennett)
