Zechariah / Question
Question source
Zechariah
Zechariah asks about the two olive trees supplying the lampstand in Zechariah 4:11–12. The interpreting messenger answers that they are “the two anointed ones” who stand by the Lord of the whole earth in Zechariah 4:14. The text presents them as appointed attendants in the vision.
11Then answered I, and said to him, What are these two olive-trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?
12I answered the second time, and said to him, What are these two olive-branches, which are beside the two golden spouts, that empty the golden [oil] out of themselves?
13He answered me and said, "Don`t you know what these are?" I said, No, my lord.
14Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
