Oracle of Response
4:7 “What are you , you great mountain ? Because of Zerubbabel you will become a level plain ! And he will bring forth the temple capstone with shoutings of ‘Grace ! Grace !’ because of this.”
4:8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me as follows :
4:9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this temple , and his hands will complete it.” Then you will know that the Lord who rules over all has sent me to you.
4:10 For who dares make light of small beginnings ? These seven eyes will joyfully look on the tin tablet in Zerubbabel’s hand . (These are the eyes of the Lord , which constantly range across the whole earth .)
4:11 Next I asked the messenger, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the menorah ?”
4:12 Before he could reply I asked again , “What are these two extensions of the olive trees , which are emptying out the golden oil through the two golden pipes ?”
4:13 He replied , “Don’t you know what these are?” And I said , “No , sir .”
4:14 So he said , “These are the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth .”
