Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Zechariah 4:6

The Gold Lampstand

1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 2And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:

3And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 4So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 5Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.

6Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. 7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.

8Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you. 10For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

The Two Olive Trees

11Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? 12And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? 13And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 14Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

Love always, Walter and Debbie

Terrific scripture!!

There is such a great and awesome truth being put forth in these words...Oh to learn this truth in an ever increasing degree.

~It’s not by the power of self, but by my Spirit, says the Lord of Hosts~

Be blessed in Him, Not me

Amen, To me this chapter is talking about: The Gold Lampstand and The Two Olive Trees, A conversation between an Angel about Zerubbabel.

But in Chapter 1 of Zechariah: In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, came the word of the LORD unto Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying, 2The LORD hath been sore displeased with your fathers.

3Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. 4Be ye not as your fathers, unto whom the former prophets have cried, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings: but they did not hear, nor hearken unto me, saith the LORD.

5Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live for ever? 6But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not take hold of your fathers? and they returned and said, Like as the LORD of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us.

It does seem like those are the players involved (and God).

Be blessed as we press into Him, Not me

After reading, just now about: Amen, To me this chapter is talking about: The Gold Lampstand and The Two Olive Trees, A conversation between an Angel and Zerubbabel,

Later I found that this same Angel was talking to Zechariah about Zerubbabel, do you see the difference ? if so or not would you let me know how you see that story?

Well I’m at work at the present time and I don’t have time for an in-depth study.

But as I’m sure, as you do too, you read scripture with an open heart before God to be taught by God Himself inwardly.

May God grant you Divine wisdom in the answers of the questions you possess.

Be blessed in your studies, Not me

I've often quoted Zech. 4.6, over the years; may we by God's grace really learn it's lesson practically...!
