Zechariah Chapter 4
So the angel that was vibing with me came back and totally woke me up, like that moment you finally get out of a deep sleep, no cap.
And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,
He asked, "What do you see?" and I replied, "I peeped a gold candlestick with a bowl on top, along with seven lamps chilling there, plus seven pipes for the lamps, periodt."
And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all {of} gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which {are} upon the top thereof: {a bowl: Heb. her bowl} {seven pipes...: or, seven several pipes to the lamps}
Next to it, there are two olive trees, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on the left, fr.
And two olive trees by it, one upon the right {side} of the bowl, and the other upon the left {side} thereof.
So I hit him back with, "What’s the deal with these, my dude?"
So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What {are} these, my lord?
The angel was like, "You don’t know what these are?" and I replied, "Nah, my lord."
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
Then he dropped this gem: "This is the word from the Lord for Zerubbabel, saying, not by might or power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts."
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This {is} the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. {might: or, army}
Who are you, big mountain? You’re gonna be flat before Zerubbabel, and he’ll flex with the headstone while yelling, "Grace, grace to it!"
Who {art} thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel {thou shalt become} a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone {thereof with} shoutings, {crying}, Grace, grace unto it.
Also, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Zerubbabel’s hands laid the foundation of this house; his hands will wrap it up, and you’ll see that the Lord of hosts sent me to you, no cap.
The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
For who’s gonna sleep on the small beginnings? They’ll be hyped and see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hands with those seven; they’re the eyes of the Lord, cruising through the whole earth.
For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel {with} those seven; they {are} the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. {for they...: or, since the seven eyes of the LORD shall rejoice} {plummet: Heb. stone of tin}
Then I asked, "What’s up with these two olive trees on the right and left of the candlestick?"
Then answered I, and said unto him, What {are} these two olive trees upon the right {side} of the candlestick and upon the left {side} thereof?
And I asked again, "What’s the deal with these two olive branches that pour out golden oil through the two golden pipes?"
And I answered again, and said unto him, What {be these} two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden {oil} out of themselves? {through: Heb. by the hand of} {empty...: or, empty out of themselves oil into the gold} {the golden oil: Heb. the gold}
He replied, "You don’t know what these are?" and I said, "Nah, my lord."
And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these {be}? And I said, No, my lord.
Then he said, "These are the two anointed ones who chill by the Lord of the whole earth, fr."
Then said he, These {are} the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth. {anointed...: Heb. sons of oil}
