Zechariah 4

The Vision of the Lampstand
1Then the angel who was talking with me returned and woke me up as if I had been asleep. 2He asked me, “What do you see?”
I said, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top. And there are seven lamps and also seven places for wicks. 3There are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on the left.”
4I asked the angel who talked with me, “Sir, what are these?”
5The angel said, “Don’t you know what they are?”
“No, sir,” I said.
6Then he told me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘You will not succeed by your own strength or by your own power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord All-Powerful.
7“Who are you, big mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become flat land, and he will bring out the topmost stone, shouting, ‘It’s beautiful! It’s beautiful!’ ”
8Then the Lord spoke his word to me again, saying, 9“Zerubbabel has laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord All-Powerful has sent me to you.
10“The people should not think that small beginnings are unimportant. They will be happy when they see Zerubbabel with tools, building the Temple.
“(These are the seven eyes of the Lord, which look back and forth across the earth.)”
11Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”
12I also asked him, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes, from which the olive oil flows to the lamps?”
13He answered, “Don’t you know what they are?”
“No, sir,” I said.
14So he said, “They are symbols of the two who have been appointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
