Then the angel who was speaking returned and woke me , as a man - is awakened from his sleep.
“ 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 - -.
There are also two olive trees beside it , one on the right (side) of the bowl and the other on its left. ”
“ What are these , my lord ? ” I asked ... ... the angel who was speaking -.
“ Do you not know what they are ? ” replied the angel - . “ No , my lord , ” I answered ....
So 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.
What 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
Then the word of the LORD came to me , saying ,
“ 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.
For 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. ”
Then I asked (the angel) , “ What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand ... ? ”
And I questioned him further ... ... , “ What are the two olive - branches beside the two gold pipes from which the golden (oil) pours ? ”
“ Do you not know what these are ? ” he inquired -. “ No , my lord , ” I replied.
So he said , “ These are the two anointed ones who are standing beside the Lord of all the earth. ”
