Now we see Joshua the High Priest (Kohen Gadol) who is set in the Highest court of God dressed in filthy clothes. The filthy clothes represent the sin that the nation Israel has committed which resulted in their persecution by the God of the Universe. Here we see the crowning of the High Priest’s festive clothes the mitre or turban. This symbolic act of God forgiving their national sin but also the future day at the end of the Great Tribulation when the entire nation will believe in Jesus as their Messiah (Romans 11:26).This capping of the clothes represents that portion of his dress that set off or signified his office, so to speak, upon his forehead. Then on top of that was the golden plate that was attached to it. On that was written “holiness to the Lord”, and called to bear the guilt of the children of Israel (Exodus 28:38). So now Joshua not only would Joshua be appropriately dressed for his office, but he would be emanating holiness. This holiness would be to represent the return to God of the Chosen People as redeemed.
