Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 4
|
|
###### 1 Now the angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
|
|
###### 2 And he said to me, "What do you see?"
|
|
So I said, "I am looking, and there _is_ a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the _stand_ seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
|
|
###### 3 Two olive trees _are_ by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left."
|
|
###### 4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, "What _are_ these, my lord?"
|
|
|
|
###### 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, "Do you not know what these are?"
|
|
And I said, "No, my lord."
|
|
|
|
###### 6 So he answered and 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.
|
|
|
|
###### 7 'Who _are_ you, O great mountain?
|
|
Before Zerubbabel _you shall become_ a plain!
|
|
And he shall bring forth the capstone
|
|
With shouts of "Grace, grace to it!" ' "
|
|
|
|
###### 8 Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
|
|
|
|
###### 9 "The hands of Zerubbabel
|
|
Have laid the foundation of this temple;
|
|
His hands shall also finish _it._
|
|
Then you will know
|
|
That the Lord of hosts has sent Me to you.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 For who has despised the day of small things?
|
|
For these seven rejoice to see
|
|
The plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
|
|
They are the eyes of the Lord,
|
|
Which scan to and fro throughout the whole earth."
|
|
|
|
###### 11 Then I answered and said to him, "What _are_ these two olive trees--at the right of the lampstand and at its left?"
|
|
###### 12 And I further answered and said to him, "What _are these_ two olive branches that _drip_ into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden _oil_ drains?"
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Then he answered me and said, "Do you not know what these _are?_"
|
|
And I said, "No, my lord."
|
|
|
|
###### 14 So he said, "These _are_ the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth."
