¹Then the angel who had been talking with me returned and woke me, as though I had been asleep. ²“What do you see now?” he asked.I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl of oil on top of it. Around the bowl are seven lamps, each having seven spouts with wicks. ³And I see two olive trees, one on each side of the bowl.” ⁴Then I asked the angel, “What are these, my lord? What do they mean?” ⁵“Don’t you know?” the angel asked.“No, my lord, ” I replied. ⁶Then he said to me, “This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. ⁷Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel’s way; it will become a level plain before him! And when Zerubbabel sets the final stone of the Temple in place, the people will shout: ‘May God bless it! May God bless it!’#4:7 Hebrew ‘Grace, grace to it.’” ⁹“Zerubbabel is the one who laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has sent me. ¹⁰Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.”(The seven lamps#4:10 Or The seven facets (see 3:9); Hebrew reads These seven. represent the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.) ¹¹Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on each side of the lampstand, ¹³“Don’t you know?” he asked.“No, my lord, ” I replied. ¹⁴Then he said to me, “They represent the two anointed ones#4:14 Or two heavenly beings; Hebrew reads two sons of fresh oil. who stand in the court of the Lord of all the earth.”
