"Zech. 3:7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by."
The LORD is giving Joshua the high priest a charge (divine duty) to separate himself from the world and to walk in the ways of righteousness. He is to keep the truth and to judge from the house of the LORD accordingly. This is to be the anointed of the LORD and to keep his courts. If he keeps the truth, then he will walk righteously among the mighty men of God that went before him as Moses, Elijah,Isaiah, Samuel, and others.
"Ezek. 28:14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire."
This verse is similar to Zech. 3:7. Ezek. 28:14 is supposedly about the prince of Tyrus (Ezek. 28:2 but it was about the holy men of Tyrus. Apparently they once held the knowledge of all truth and righteousness. They were the "anointed cherub that covereth." The anointed means they were given the knowledge of righteousness and were to judge accordingly. Cherub means terrible. They were the guardians of the truth of God in the earth and kept his truth. They once walked with God and kept his charge (divine duty). This is what covereth means. Their righteousness covered the people just like Jesus covers our sins and is our righteousness. They were the bastion of the truth of God in the earth. This is to be upon the mountain of God.
"Thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire." The anointed cherubs or guardians of the truth and knowledge of God in Tyrus or in the earth walked with the holy men of God. They were anointed to deep the truth and were blessed and the people were blessed. The "stones" or rocks are the strength on which we stand. Our LORD is spoken of as our rock (our sure foundation).
"The stones of fire" are those who deep the truth and burn away all lies against the truth. Tyrus once the bastion of truth became the worldly commercial center of the known world. Ezek. 28:14 is really a prophecy against us all. Our material world has overwhelmed the truth and taken its place.
