Chapter 4
1 The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me , as a man who is wakened out of his sleep .
2 He said to me , " What do you see ?" I said, " I have seen , and behold , a lamp stand all of gold , with its bowl on the top of it , and its seven lamps on it ; there are seven pipes to each of the lamps which are on the top of it ;
3 and two olive trees by it , one on the right side of the bowl , and the other on the left side of it ."
4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me , saying , " What are these , my lord?"
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me , "Don’t you know what these are ?" I said , " No , my lord."
6 Then he answered and spoke to me , saying , " This is the LORD ’s word to Zerubbabel , saying , ‘ Not by might , nor by power , but by my Spirit ,’ says the LORD of Armies .
7 Who are you , great mountain ? Before Zerubbabel you are a plain ; and he will bring out the capstone with shouts of ‘ Grace , grace , to it !’"
8 Moreover the LORD ’s word came to me , saying ,
9 " The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house . His hands shall also finish it ; and you will know that the LORD of Armies has sent me to you .
10 Indeed , who despises the day of small things ? For these seven shall rejoice , and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel . These are the LORD ’s eyes , which run back and forth through the whole earth."
11 Then I asked him , " What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lamp stand and on the left side of it ?"
12 I asked him the second time , " What are these two olive branches , which are beside the two golden spouts that pour the golden oil out of themselves ?"
13 He answered me , "Don’t you know what these are ?" I said, " No , my lord."
14 Then he said, " These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
