In the prophecy of Zechariah is brought to view Satan's accusing work, and the work of Christ in resisting the adversary of His people. The prophet says, "He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him. And the Lord said unto Satan, The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan; even the Lord that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire? Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel." Zech. 3:1-3.

I Zakarias profeti beskrives Satans værk som anklager og Kristi gerning, idet han gendriver sit folks modstander Profeten siger: "Derpå lod han mig se ypperstepræsten Josua, og han stod foran Herrens engel, medens Satan stod ved hans højre side for at føre klage imod ham. Men Herren sagde til Satan: Herren true dig, Satan, Herren true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en brand, som er reddet ud af ilden? Josua havde snavsede klæder på og stod foran engelen."
