Vision of the Lampstand and Olive Trees
1 Now athe angel who talked with me came back and wakened me, bas a man who is wakened out of his sleep.
2 And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I am looking, and there is aa lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on top of it, band on the stand seven lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
3 aTwo olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.”
4 So I answered and spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
5 Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.”
6 So he answered and said to me:
“This is the word of the Lord to aZerubbabel:
b‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.
“This is the word of the Lord to aZerubbabel:
b‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’
Says the Lord of hosts.

What Does Zechariah 4:1 Mean?
Zechariah 4:1
This is interesting in terms of Matthew 25 and the Ten Virgins, who were asleep. The angel comes and has to waken the prophet out of sleep. Could there be some sort of a parallel? Perhaps. Yet, at this point, the prophet himself had to be awoken out of sleep. Maybe it is a key to the timing of the revelation of the Two Witnesses and the other events of the end time.
