What does it mean to be a brand plucked from the fire?

Answered in 1 source

Being a brand plucked from the fire signifies God's sovereign grace in saving sinners from judgment.

The phrase 'brand plucked from the fire' in Zechariah 3:2 represents God's sovereign choice and grace in saving those who are sinners deserving of judgment. Joshua, depicted as filthy in his garments, symbolizes the condition of all believers before God's intervening grace. God reaches down to save, plucking His people from the judgment they deserve, just as He did with Joshua. This illustrates the concept of election and the powerful work of God in regenerating the heart of a sinner, enabling them to receive the righteousness of Christ.
