Zechariah 4:
- Then the angel who talked with me returned and wakened me, as a man is wakened from his sleep.
- He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights.
- Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
- I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"
- He answered, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I replied.
- So he said to me, "This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.
- "What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!' "
- Then the word of the LORD came to me:
- "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
- "Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. "(These seven are the eyes of the LORD , which range throughout the earth.)"
- Then I asked the angel, "What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?"
- Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?"
- He replied, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I said.
- So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."
