1Then the angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me, as a man is awakened from his sleep.[ † ]Zechariah 1:9Zechariah 2:3Daniel 8:18
2“What do you see?” he asked. “I see a solid gold lampstand,” I replied, “with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven spouts to the lamps.[ † ]Revelation 1:12Exodus 25:37Revelation 4:5 3There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”[ † ]Revelation 11:3-4
4“What are these, my lord?” I asked the angel who was speaking with me.
5“Do you not know what they are?” replied the angel. “No, my lord,” I answered.
6So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts.[ † ]Haggai 1:1Isaiah 30:1Hosea 1:7Haggai 2:4-5 7What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring forth the capstone accompanied by shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”[ † ]Psalms 114:4-6Isaiah 40:4Jeremiah 51:25Nahum 1:5Zechariah 14:4-5Matthew 21:21Psalms 118:22Ezra 3:10-11, 13Psalms 84:11
8Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9“The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house, and his hands will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of Hosts has sent me to you.[ † ]Ezra 3:8-10Ezra 5:16Haggai 2:18Ezra 6:14-15Zechariah 6:12-13Zechariah 2:9-11Zechariah 6:15Isaiah 43:16Zechariah 2:8 10For who has despised the day of small things? But these seven eyes of the Lord, which scan the whole earth, will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.”[ † ]Nehemiah 4:2-4Amos 7:2-5Haggai 2:32 Chronicles 16:9Proverbs 15:3Zechariah 3:9
11Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”[ † ]Zechariah 4:3Revelation 11:4 12And I questioned him further, “What are the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden oil pours?”
13“Do you not know what these are?” he inquired. “No, my lord,” I replied.
14So he said, “These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth.”[ † ]Revelation 11:4Zechariah 3:1-7
