Reading comprehension is important for real, because you've just added to the text. Did Joshua behold the man called the Branch? How can you behold, if what you're to behold isn't present. The Joshua stone is the stone the builders refused!Reading comprehension is important.
Zechariah (Zec 6:9-15) is told by God to tell Joshua son of Josedech to behold 'the Man' of whom messianic promises are made which 'shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God'. Clearly 'the Man' is not Joshua son of Josedech. If he were then there would have been no need for Jesus of Nazareth. Instead he is a prophetic type for Jesus in which we see his human failings rectified in and through the person of Jesus Christ.
Eze 21:25 And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity [shall have] an end,
Eze 21:26 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this [shall] not [be] the same: exalt [him that is] low, and abase [him that is] high.
Eze 21:27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no [more], until he come whose right it is; and I will give it [him].
