# Chapter 4
|
||
1 And the angel who talked with me came again and woke me, like a man who is awakened out of his sleep.
|
||
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” I said, “I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it, and seven lamps on it, with seven lips on each of the lamps that are on the top of it.
|
||
3 And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
|
||
4 And I said to the angel who talked with me, “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?” I said, “No, my lord.”
|
||
6 Then 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.
|
||
7 Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of ‘Grace, grace to it!’”
|
||
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
|
||
9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to you.
|
||
10 For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.
|
||
“These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range through the whole earth.”
|
||
11 Then I said to him, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
|
||
12 And a second time I answered and said to him, “What are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the golden oil is poured out?”
|
||
13 He said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” I said, “No, my lord.”
|
||
14 Then he said, “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” |
