October 31, 2024 - Zechariah 64:3-4 - I Will Clothe thee with Change of Raiment

Updated: Nov 14

Zechariah 64:3-4

"Take away the filthy garments from him... Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee and I will clothe thee with change of

raiment."


Some think our filthy flesh will be changed into righteous flesh when we meet Christ Jesus in the air. What that really would mean, is that this evil flesh would be 'modified' or 'altered'. But no, Scripture teaches that the LORD will "take away" this prison of sin because:


"...in my flesh, dwelleth no good thing..." (Romans 7:18)

We will be given a "change of raiment": pristine, incorruptible and immortal as the risen Christ Himself: "...flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God... We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye... and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed... this corruptible must put on Incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." (1 Corinthians 15:50-54)


We will be born again of the Water (Christ Jesus) and His Spirit:

"Jesus answered... Except a man be born of Water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit."

(John 3:3-6)


His afflictions for us are to make sure we don't get too attached to this filthy rag but that we wait for our robe of righteousness: the fine, white linen bought by His blood at His cross:

"...and I will clothe thee with change of raiment."
