Zechariah
4
Then the angel who
talked with me
Returned and wakened
me,
As a man is wakened
from his sleep.
2 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.
3 ALSO THERE ARE TWO
OLIVE TREES BY IT,
One on the right of the
bowl and the other on its left.'
4 I asked the angel who
talked with me,
'What are these, my
lord?'
5 He answered, 'Do you
not know what these are?'
'No my lord,' I
replied.
6 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.
7 'WHAT ARE YOU, O
MIGHTY MOUNTAIN?
Before Zerubbabel
(the people of God
Who have come out of
the mixture of Babylon)
You will become level
ground.
THEN HE WILL BRING
OUT THE CAPSTONE (CHRIST)
TO SHOUTS OF 'GOD
BLESS IT! GOD BLESS IT!'
8 Then the word of the
Lord came to me:
9 'The hands of
Zerubbabel
Have laid the
foundation of this Temple;
His hands will also
complete it
(It will be completed
in The Time of The END).
THEN YOU WILL KNOW
THAT THE LORD ALMIGHTY
HAS SENT ME (CHRIST)
TO YOU.
10 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.)'
11 Then I asked the
angel,
'What are these two
olive trees
On the right and the
left of the lampstand?'
12 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.'
(Zechariah 4)
[The two olive trees
are Joshua and Zerubbabel,
One representing
Religious Authority
And the other
representing Civil Authority
Which have been melded
into to one body,
The Israel of God, the
New Jerusalem, the Bride of Christ.
They
are achetypes of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11: 3-4.]
