This one occurs around this time of year in the cycle of parshot.
Here Satan – who knew that Satan actually was a being in our traditions – is confronting the Joshua who is in tattered garments, but the angel is offering him a miter – a promise of restoration. Before him is a lamp stand with a bowl on top and to both sides, olive trees. As with many haftorahs there are lots of symbols that have varieties of interpretations. I’ve been told that Satan is part of the angelology that crept into Judaism via the Greeks, with Zechariah around the time of the Persians 520BC. This Satan, unlike in Christianity, is not independent of God. Some sages say this vision promises even in suffering there is a positive future that includes rebuilding the temple represented here by the menorah. And the olive trees reflect a Greek shared concept of the olive tree being a symbol of wisdom. The oil is of course part of our Chanukah celebration. As to the bowl, much dispute, but some agreement is that it is a container for the oil, as we can be containers for wisdom.
