1 The angel who was speaking with me returned and woke me up as one might wake up someone who is sleeping. 2 He asked me, |What do you see?| I answered, |I see a solid gold lamp stand with a bowl on top and seven lamps on it. There are seven spouts for each lamp that is on top of it. 3 There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.| 4 I asked the angel who was speaking with me, |What do these things mean, sir?| 5 Then the angel asked me, |Don't you know what they mean?| |No, sir,| I answered. 6 Then he replied, |This is the word the LORD spoke to Zerubbabel: You won't [succeed] by might or by power, but by my Spirit, says the LORD of Armies. 7 What a high mountain you are! In front of Zerubbabel you will become a plain. He will bring out the topmost stone with shouts of 'Blessings, blessings on it!'| Zechariah 4:1-7, God's Word Translation.
