Zechariah Chapter 4

4:1 The angel who had been speaking to me came again and roused me as if I had been sleeping.
4:2 "What do you see?" he asked. "A lampstand made of gold," I answered. "At the top is a bowl for the oil. On the lampstand are seven lamps, each one with places for seven wicks.
4:3 There are two olive trees beside the lampstand, one on each side of it."
4:4 Then I asked the angel, "What do these things stand for, sir?"
4:5 "Don't you know?" he asked me. "No, I don't, sir," I replied.
4:6 (ay. 10b) The angel said to me, "The seven lamps are the seven eyes of the LORD, which see all over the earth."
4:7 (ay. 11) Then I asked him, "What do the two olive trees on either side of the lampstand mean?
4:8 (ay. 12) And what is the meaning of the two olive branches beside the two gold pipes from which the olive oil pours?"
4:9 (ay. 13) He asked me, "Don't you know?" "No, I don't, sir," I answered.
4:10 (ay. 14) Then he said, "These are the two men whom God has chosen and anointed to serve him, the Lord of the whole earth."
4:11 (ay. 6) The angel told me to give Zerubbabel this message from the LORD: "You will succeed, not by military might or by your own strength, but by my spirit.
4:12 (ay. 7) Obstacles as great as mountains will disappear before you. You will rebuild the Temple, and as you put the last stone in place, the people will shout, 'Beautiful, beautiful!' "
4:13 (ay. 8) Another message came to me from the LORD.
4:14 (ay. 9) He said, "Zerubbabel has laid the foundation of the Temple, and he will finish the building. When this happens, my people will know that it is I who sent you to them.
4:15 (ay. 10a) They are disappointed because so little progress is being made. But they will see Zerubbabel continuing to build the Temple, and they will be glad."
