Zechariah 4

1 The angel who talked with me came again and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep. ‡ Dan 8:18Jer 31:26Zec 1:9Zec 1:191Ki 19:5-7Luk 22:45-46Luk 9:32Zec 2:3 +32 He said to me, “What do you see?” ‡ Rev 4:5Rev 1:12Mat 5:14-16Exo 25:31-38Jer 52:19Zec 5:21Ch 28:151Ki 7:49-50 +7

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.” ‡ Rev 11:4Rom 11:17Zec 4:14Zec 4:11-12Jdg 9:9Rom 11:24

4 I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?” ‡ Mat 13:36Zec 1:9Zec 6:4Dan 12:8Zec 1:19Zec 5:6Dan 7:16-19Rev 7:13-14 +1

5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” ‡ Zec 4:131Co 2:12-15Mrk 4:13Dan 2:30Gen 41:16Psa 139:6Zec 1:9

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. ‡ 2Ch 32:7-82Co 10:4-51Co 2:4-5Psa 33:16Isa 11:2-4Psa 20:6-8Psa 33:20-21Hos 1:7 +117 Who are you, great mountain?

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. ‡ Ezr 6:14-15Zec 6:12-13Ezr 5:16Heb 12:2Zec 6:15Ezr 3:8-13Jhn 17:21Jhn 3:17 +610 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.” ‡ Job 8:71Co 1:28-292Ch 16:9Mat 13:31-33Hag 2:3Pro 15:3Pro 4:18Rev 5:6 +12

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?” ‡ Zec 4:3Rev 11:4

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?” ‡ Mat 20:23Rev 11:4Hag 1:1

13 He answered me, “Don’t you know what these are?” ‡ Zec 4:5Heb 5:11-12

I said, “No, my lord.”

14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord ¹ of the whole earth.” ‡ Rev 11:4Isa 61:1-3Dan 9:24-26Exo 40:15Zec 3:1-7Zec 6:131Sa 10:11Sa 16:1 +19
