The Prophecy
of Zacharias 4
And the angel that spoke in me came again: and he waked
me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
And he said to me: What seest thou? And I said: I have
looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, and its
lamp upon the top of it: and the seven lights thereof
upon it: and seven funnels for the lights that were
upon the top thereof.
And two olive trees over it: one upon the right side
of the lamp, and the other upon the left side thereof.
And I answered, and said to the angel that spoke in
me, saying: What are these things, my lord?
And the angel that spoke in me answered, and said to
me: Knowest thou not what these things are? And I said:
No, my lord.
And he answered, and spoke to me, saying: This is the
word of the Lord to Zorobabel, saying: Not with an army,
nor by might, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.
Who art thou, O great mountain, before Zorobabel? thou
shalt become a plain: and he shall bring out the chief
stone, and shall give equal grace to the grace thereof.
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
The hands of Zorobabel have laid the foundations of
this house, and his hands shall finish it: and you shall
know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to you.
For who hath despised little days? and they shall rejoice,
and shall see the tin plummet in the hand of Zorobabel.
These are the seven eyes of the Lord, that run to and
fro through the whole earth.
And I answered, and said to him: What are these two
olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick,
and upon the left side thereof?
And I answered again, and said to him: What are the
two olive branches, that are by the two golden beaks,
in which are the funnels of gold?
And he spoke to me, saying: Knowest thou not what these
are? And I said: No, my lord.
And he said: These are two sons of oil who stand before
the Lord of the whole earth. |
