Refutation of your second assertion: the understanding of Zechariah 3
You are accidentally calling Satan our Sin Bearer. Hebrews 13:13 is clear who bore our "shame" outside the camp.
You are accidentally blaspheming the Holy Spirit of Christ and Associating Him with Satan by calling Him a "Desert Demon". The name Azazal carries significant reference to Mark3:20-29 and it carries multiple meanings on multiple layers of Spiritual allegory.
Jesus (YHWH Incarnated) took the place of "Gentile, Demon, Ungodly, Adversarial, Heathen" peoples... cursed to Death's reign... and appeared before "YHWH Father" and "Adversary" as a shaggy goat man (Zechariah 3) (Genesis 27:9-10, 18-29) because of our collective sins that He bore. ... This is genuine Spiritual allegory bolstered by (John 5:39)
Zechariah 3 explains what happened and (1 Peter 3:18-22) bolsters this ... Romans 8:9 parallel to Luke 23:46
Brings this home....
Zechariah 3:1-10
1 And he showed me Yhoshua haKohen haGadol standing before the Malak of YHWH, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And YHWH said unto Satan, YHWH rebuke you, O Satan; even YHWH that has chosen Yerushalem rebuke you: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3 Moreover Yhoshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Malak.
4 And he answered and spoke unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with change of raiment.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the Malak of YHWH stood by.
6 And the Malak of YHWH protested unto Yhoshua, saying:
7 Thus says YHWH Tsabaoth; If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My charge, then you will also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these that stand by.
8 Hear now, Yhoshua haKohen haGadol, you and your associates that sit before you: for they are men of a sign: for behold, I will bring forth My servant, Tsemach-Branch.
9 For behold, the Stone that I have laid before Yhoshua; upon one Stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, says YHWH Tsabaoth, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
10 In that day, says YHWH Tsabaoth, you shall call every man his neighbor under the vine and under the fig tree!
The Epistle of Jude provides us the understanding of the above passage: the Malak of YHWH herein is Miykael, haSar haGadol, who stands for the children of Yisrael; the Head, the Captain, Sar tsaba YHWH, that is, the Captain of all the host of YHWH. The rebuke is quoted word for word:
Jude 1:9
9 Yet Miykael the Archangel, [Head-Messenger] when contending with the devil, he disputed concerning the body of Moshe, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, "YHWH rebuke you", [Zechariah 3:2].
This "body of Moshe" is
not the
physical body of Moshe but rather the whole congregation-body. That is why the understanding escapes most and too often goes unrecognized, (because of a carnal
physical body mindset). Moshe is the first Kohen Gadol of the Melki-Tzedek priesthood under the Torah, that is, he is not the first of that priesthood but the first under the Torah, (Yhoshua bin Nun is the next after Moshe; for Moshe laid his hands upon him and gave him the charge, as YHWH commanded him, setting Yhoshua bin Nun
before Eleazar the Kohen and
before all the congregation). The body of the Tanakh faithful was therefore "the body of Moshe" just the same as the body of the new covenant faithful are the "body of Messiah", (and the body of Moshe was folded into Messiah with the events of Matthew 27:51-53,
"one Shepherd and one fold", John 10:16). This dispute over "the body of Moshe" therefore takes place when bnei Yisrael cross the Yarden River, for it does not concern the physical body of Moshe but rather the whole body of the congregation, and at that time Yhoshua bin Nun is the chosen Head over the congregation, after the passing of Moshe. The vision of Zechariah 3 therefore does not speak of Yeshua ben Yhotzadak, haKohen haGadol, but rather Yhoshua bin Nun, haKohen haGadol, and the vision concerns Joshua 5 where the Malak of YHWH, who is Sar tsaba YHWH, (Captain of the host-armies of YHWH), appears to Yhoshua. This happens immediately following the second circumcision of the whole congregation, the children which grew up in the desert and were not circumcised in the wilderness sojourn, and the first Passover in the Land which immediately followed that circumcision, (previously in the same chapter).
Joshua 5:13-15
13 And it came to pass, when Yhoshua was by Yericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood an 'iysh [a certain one] over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Yhoshua went to him, and said unto him, Are you for us, or for our adversaries?
14 And he said, Nay; but as Sar tsaba YHWH am I now come. And Yhoshua fell on his face to the earth, and did obeisance, and said unto him, What says Adoni to his servant?
15 And Sar tsaba YHWH said to Yhoshua, Loose your shoe from off your foot; for the place whereon you stand is holy. And Yhoshua did so.
The Sar tsaba YHWH is the same "Prince of princes" in haNavi Daniel:
Daniel 8:10-11a
10 And it waxed great, even to the tsaba-host of the heavens; and it cast down some of the tsaba-host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
11a Yea, he magnified himself even to Sar ha-Tsaba: [the Prince of the Host]
Daniel 8:25
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against Sar-sariym: [the Prince of princes] but he shall be broken without hand.
And the same Sar tsaba YHWH and Sar ha-Tsaba is Miykael haSar haGadol:
Daniel 12:1a-b
1 And at that time shall Miykael stand up, haSar haGadol, [the Great Prince] who stands for the sons of your people:
Thus the "certain one" who appears to Yhoshua in Joshua 5 is Miykael, haSar haGadol, Sar tsaba YHWH, the Captain of the tsaba-host-armies of YHWH, the Head Messenger, the Arche-angelos, and Head over the sons of Yisrael, (not just Yhudah, because in the ninth chapter Daniel prays and repents for all Yisrael, and the holy city Yerushalem). Knowing this then who are those men who are seated before Yhoshua in the Zechariah passage? Those who are said to be men of a sign or omen? What or who is the Stone spoken of in that same passage? the Stone with seven eyes?
Zechariah 3:8-9
8 Hear now, Yhoshua haKohen haGadol, you and your fellows that sit before you: for they are men of a sign: for behold, I will bring forth My servant, Tzemach-Branch.
9 For behold the Stone that I have laid before Yhoshua; upon one Stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, says YHWH Tsabaoth, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
This is the Witness Stone which
heard all the words of the following covenant:
Joshua 24:24-28
24 And the people said unto Yhoshua, YHWH our Elohim will we serve, and His voice will we obey.
25 So Yhoshua made a covenant with the people that day, and set them a statute and an ordinance in Shekem.
26 And Yhoshua wrote these words in the Sefer of the Torah of Elohim, and took a great Stone, and set it up there under an oak, that was by the Sanctuary of YHWH.
27 And Yhoshua said unto all the people, Behold, this Stone shall be a Witness unto us; for it has heard all the words of YHWH which He spoke unto us: it shall be therefore a Witness unto you, lest you deny your Elohim.
28 So Yhoshua let the people depart, every man unto his inheritance.
So I know where you are headed, dear Evil.Eye., and that is that you think the Malak of Zec 3:1-2 is YHWH Himself, and you are flat out wrong. And that is why the Epistle of Jude clarifies that one place, (sort of like tying up loose ends), for the Most High speaks through His Messengers just as His Word does: but when His Word is speaking it appears to the reader as if it is YHWH Himself. But haNavi Zekaryah makes it abundantly clear by the context that the Malak of YHWH is Present, (Malak of the Presence).
