1The angel who talked with me came back and woke me, like a man who is woken out of his sleep.
2He said to me, "What do you see?" And I said, "I have looked, and there is a lampstand all of gold, with a bowl on the top of it. It has seven lamps on it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps that are on the top of it."
3"And there are two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on its left side."
4So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me. I said, "What are these, my lord?"
5Then the angel who talked with me answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."
6Then 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, great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become a plain. And he will bring out the top stone with shouting, and they will cry, 'Grace, grace to it.'"
8Then the word of the LORD came to me. He said,
9"The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house. His hands will 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? They will rejoice, and will see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven. They are the eyes of the LORD, which run here and there through the whole earth."
11Then I answered and said to him, "What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on its left side?"
12I answered again and said to him, "What are these two olive branches which pour out the golden oil from themselves through the two golden pipes?"
13He answered me, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord."
14Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones, who stand by the Lord of the whole earth."
