Zechariah 4
The Candlestick and the
Olive Trees |
1 |
And the angel that talked with me came
again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his
sleep,
|
2 |
and said unto me, What seest thou? And I
said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold,
with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and
seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top
thereof:
|
3 |
and two olive trees Rev. 11.4 by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof.
|
4 |
So I answered and spake to the angel that
talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
|
5 |
Then the angel that talked with me
answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I
said, No, my lord.
|
6 |
Then he answered and spake unto me,
saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerub'babel, Ezra 5.2 saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith
the LORD of hosts.
|
7 |
Who art thou, O great mountain?
before Zerub'babel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall
bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
|
8 |
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
|
9 |
The hands of Zerub'babel have laid the
foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou
shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me
unto you.
|
10 |
For who hath despised the day of small
things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the
hand of Zerub'babel with those seven; they are the
eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through
the whole earth. Rev. 5.6
|
11 |
Then answered I, and said unto him,
What are these two olive trees Rev. 11.4 upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the
left side thereof?
|
12 |
And I answered again, and said unto him,
What be these two olive branches, which through the two
golden pipes empty the golden oil out of
themselves?
|
13 |
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou
not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
|
14 |
Then said he, These are the two
anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole
earth.
