10. “The people should not think that small beginnings are unimportant. They will be happy when they see Zerubbabel with tools, building the Temple.“(These seven lamps stand for the eyes of the Lord. They look back and forth across the earth.)”
11. Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”
12. I also asked him, “What are the two branches full of olives? The olive oil flows through the two gold pipes to the lamps.”
13. He answered, “Don’t you know what they are?”“No, sir,” I said.
14. So he said, “They stand for two men. They have been appointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
