“Then the angel who had been talking with me returned and woke me, as though I had been asleep. ‘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 wicks. And I see two olive trees, on on each side of the bowl.’ Then I asked the angel, ‘What are these, my lord, and What to they mean?’
‘Don’t you know?’ the angel asked.
‘No, my lord’, I replied.
Then he said to me: ‘This is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel: It is not by force nor by strength but My Spirit, say the Lord of Heaven’s Armies. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain will stand in Zerubbabel’s way; it will become a level plain before him! My God Bless it! May God bless it!’ (vv: 1-7, NLT)
(The seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world.)
Then I asked the angel, ‘What are these two olive trees on each side of the lampstand, and the branches that pour out golden oil through two gold tubes?’
‘Don’t you know?’ he asked.
‘No, my lord’, I replied.
Then he said to me, ‘They represent the two heavenly beings who stand in the court of the Lord of all the earth.'” (vv. 10B-14, NLT)
