And the angel who talked with me came again, and waked me, like a man that is wakened out of his sleep. And he said to me, \u201cWhat do you see?\u201d I said, \u201cI 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 which are on the top of it. And there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.\u201d And I said to the angel who talked with me, \u201cWhat are these, my lord?\u201d Then the angel who talked with me answered me, \u201cDo you not know what these are?\u201d I said, \u201cNo, my lord.\u201d Then he said to me, \u201cThis is the word of the Lord to Zerub\u2032babel: Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of hosts. What are you, O great mountain? Before Zerub\u2032babel you shall become a plain; and he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of \u2018Grace, grace to it!\u2019\u201d Moreover the word of the Lord came to me, saying, \u201cThe hands of Zerub\u2032babel 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. For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerub\u2032babel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese seven are the eyes of the Lord, which range through the whole earth.\u201d Then I said to him, \u201cWhat are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?\u201d And a second time I said to him, \u201cWhat are these two branches of the olive trees, which are beside the two golden pipes from which the oil is poured out?\u201d He said to me, \u201cDo you not know what these are?\u201d I said, \u201cNo, my lord.\u201d Then he said, \u201cThese are the two anointed who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
