Then ^athe angel who was speaking with me returned and ^broused me, as a man who is awakened from his sleep. 2 He said to me, “^aWhat do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a ^blampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its ^cseven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it; 3 also ^atwo olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.” 4 Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, ^amy lord?” 5 So ^athe angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “^bDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 6 Then he ¹said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to ^aZerubbabel saying, ‘^bNot by might nor by power, but by My ^cSpirit,’ says the LORD of hosts. 7 ‘What are you, O great ^amountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with ^bshouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

8 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have ^alaid the foundation of this house, and his hands will ^bfinish it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to ¹you. 10 For who has despised the day of ^asmall things? ¹But these ^bseven will be glad when they see the ^2cplumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the ^deyes of the LORD which ^erange to and fro throughout the earth.”

11 Then I said to him, “What are these ^atwo olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?” 12 And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive ¹branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?” 13 So he answered me, saying, “^aDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, ^bmy lord.” 14 Then he said, “These are the two ^1aanointed ones who are ^bstanding by the ^cLord of the whole earth.”

And ^athe angel who was speaking with me came back and ^bawakened me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep. 2 He said to me, “^aWhat do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a ^1blampstand all of gold, with its bowl for oil on the top of it and its ^cseven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it. Matt 5:14, 16; Luke 12:35; Phil 2:15; Rev 1:20 3 And there are ^atwo olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side supplying it continuously with oil.” Rev 11:4-13 4 So I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What are these, ^amy lord?” 5 Then ^athe angel who was speaking with me answered me, “^bDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 6 Then he said to me, “This continuous supply of oil is the word of the LORD to ^aZerubbabel prince of Judah, saying, ‘^bNot by might, nor by power, but by My ^cSpirit of whom the oil is a symbol,’ says the LORD of hosts. 7 ‘What are you, O great ^amountain of obstacles? Before Zerubbabel who will rebuild the temple you will become a plain (insignificant) ! And he will bring out the capstone of the new temple with loud ^bshouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’” Ezra 4:1-5, 24; Is 40:4

8 Also the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have ^alaid the foundations of this house, and his hands will ^bfinish it. Then you will know (recognize, understand fully) that the LORD of hosts has sent me as His messenger to you. 10 Who with reason despises the day of ^asmall things (beginnings) ? For these ^1bseven eyes shall rejoice when they see the ^cplumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the ^deyes of the LORD which ^eroam throughout the earth.” Rev 5:6

11 Then I said to him who was speaking with me, “What are these ^atwo olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on its left?” 12 And a second time I said to him, “What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden pipes by which the golden oil is emptied?” 13 And he answered me, “^aDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, ^bmy lord.” 14 Then he said, “These are the two ^1asons of fresh oil Joshua the high priest and Zerubbabel the prince of Judah who are ^bstanding by the ^cLord of the whole earth as His anointed ones.” Rev 11:4

Then ^athe angel who was speaking with me returned and ^broused me, as a man who is roused from his sleep. 2 And he said to me, “^aWhat do you see?” And I said, “I see, and behold, a ^blampstand all of gold with its bowl on the top of it, and its ^cseven lamps on it with seven spouts belonging to each of the lamps which are on the top of it, 3 also ^atwo olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left side.” 4 Then I answered and said to the angel who was speaking with me saying, “What are these, ^amy lord?” 5 So ^athe angel who was speaking with me answered and said to me, “^bDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” 6 Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, “This is the word of Yahweh to ^aZerubbabel, saying, ‘^bNot by ¹might nor by power, but by My ^cSpirit,’ says Yahweh of hosts. 7 ‘What are you, O great ^amountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain; and he will bring forth the top stone with ^bshouts of “Grace, grace to it!”’”

8 Also the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have ^alaid the foundation of this house, and his hands will ^bfinish it. Then you will know that Yahweh of hosts has sent me to ¹you. 10 For who has despised the day of ^asmall things? ¹But these ^bseven will be glad when they see the ^2cplumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel—these are the ^deyes of Yahweh which ^eroam to and fro throughout the earth.”

11 Then I answered and said to him, “What are these ^atwo olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left?” 12 And I answered the second time and said to him, “What are the two olive ¹branches which are beside the two golden pipes, which empty the golden oil from themselves?” 13 So he spoke to me, saying, “^aDo you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, ^bmy lord.” 14 Then he said, “These are the two ^1aanointed ones who are ^bstanding by the ^cLord of all the earth.”
