Vision Five: The Menorah The angelic messenger who had been speaking with me then returned and woke me, as a person is wakened from sleep.
He asked me,“What do you see?” I replied,“I see a menorah of pure gold with a receptacle at the top. There are seven lamps at the top, with seven pipes going to the lamps.
There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the receptacle and the other on the left.”
Then I asked the messenger who spoke with me,“What are these, sir?”
He replied,“Don’t you know what these are?” So I responded,“No, sir.”
Therefore he told me,“This is the LORD’s message to Zerubbabel:‘Not by strength and not by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.”
Oracle of Response“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.”
