| Zechariah 4
|
(4:1-3) The angel wakes up Zechariah and shows him a candlestick with a bowl on top, seven lamps on top of the bowl,
and seven pipes on the top of the lamps, with two olive trees next to the bowls.
(4:1-2) "The angel ... waked me ... 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."
| | 4:1
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that
is wakened out of his sleep.
| | 4:2
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:
| | 4:3
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof. |
(4:3) "And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the
other upon the left side thereof."
| | 4:4
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are
these, my lord? |
| | 4:5
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou
not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. |
| | 4:6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD
unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith
the LORD of hosts. |
(4:7) "Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it." Someday there will be a great talking mountain that will become a plain that will bring forth a headstone that will
scream "Grace, grace unto it."
(4:10) "Those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which
run to and fro through the whole earth."
God has seven eyes that "run to and fro through the whole earth."
(4:11-14) Zechariah asks about the two olive trees next to the candlesticks, and about the golden pipes, and the
golden oil. The angel says they are they are the anointed ones that stand next to God.
(4:11) "What are these two olive trees upon
the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?"
(4:12) "What be these two olive branches
which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?"
(4:14) "These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth."
Who is the Lord of the earth?
| | 4:7
Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a
plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings,
crying, Grace, grace unto it.
| | 4:8
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
| | 4:9
The hands of Zerubbabel 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.
| | 4:10
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and
shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which
run to and fro through the whole earth.
| | 4:11
Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon
the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
| | 4:12
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?
| | 4:13
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said,
No, my lord.
| | 4:14
Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of
the whole earth.
