We read in the prophecy of Zechariah that when Satan with all his synagogue stood up to resist the prayers of Joshua the high priest, and to resist Christ, who was about to show decided favor to Joshua: “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?” Zechariah 3:2. {9T 240.1}

I Sakarias' Profeti læser vi om, at da Satan med hele sin synagoge stod frem for at forhindre ypperstepræsten Josvas bønner og stå Kristus imod, som ville visse Josva sin gunst, så sagde Kristus til ham: »Herren true dig, Satan, Herren true dig, han, som udvalgte Jerusalem. Er denne ikke en brand, som er reddet ud af ilden?« Sak 3,2.
