Zech 4:1-14 
1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep, 

Please do not overlook this: "and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep". 
YHVH'S Word is meant to awaken us to HIS Truth. 

I am reminded of Mark 13. 

Mark 13:35-37 
35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 
36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 
37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch. (KJV) 

YHVH is preparing and presenting HIS Church....HIS Assembly.

Zech 4: 
2 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: 
3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. 

Through analogies, FATHER is going to show us the structure of that which will bring forth HIS Light (Truth)  to the world in this final generation. 

HE speaks of this in the analogy of a "candlestick" which is a menorah. 
First, this menorah is constructed of pure gold. 

Zech 13:9 
9 And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried: they shall call on my name, and I will hear them: I will say, It is my people: and they shall say, The LORD is my God. (KJV) 

This menorah then is an analogy or representation for YHVH'S servants who have had that which is not of YHVH purged from them. This purging comes about as they are put through the fire or tested 'under fire'. 
In other words, each who are a part of HIS "candlestick" have experienced life in the flesh, and after being 'called out' and chosen (elected: many called, few chosen), these, through HIS Truth and by standing firm in HIS Truth even under pressure and persecution, are fit because they have been 'tried' as gold. 

What is this "a bowl upon the top of it"? 
This "bowl" on the top of this menorah is a receptacle into which YHVH'S oil is poured. 
In other words, we can look upon this "bowl" which holds the anointing oil, as being YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT and YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST. 
YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT has always been as pure as gold, and never had need of being tested, in the same manner as YAHSHUA, who was and always has been pure/perfect. YAHSHUA, though, for our benefit, did come through this earth age/dimension in mortal flesh. And, within this mortal flesh, YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT cleansed HIM. 

Matt 3:16-17 
16 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: 
17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. (KJV) 

Although YAHSHUA'S flesh body was allowed to be killed, so that HE would become the One Fit Sacrifice for all times, HIS body would not see corruption (would not be left to decay). 

Acts 2:26-27 
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. (KJV) 

"and his seven lamps thereon" 
This speaks of "and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God." 

Rev 1:4-6 
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 
6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (KJV) 

Rev 3:1 
1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. (KJV) 

Rev 4:5 
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. (KJV) 

Rev 5:6 
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. (KJV) 

"and seven pipes to the seven lamps" 
These "seven pipes" are the 7,000 Zadok Priesthood who FATHER utilizes in the earth to bring forth and teach HIS oil which spiritually heals the minds of men through HIS Truth. 
And, at the appointed time, these 7,000 shall be ablaze with YHVH'S Truth from HIS HOLY SPIRIT. Even before YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT totally takes over these 7,000, they are those who are bringing forth HIS Oil to HIS Assembly, as they are preparing for the apostasy of Satan, and then The LORD'S DAY.

"And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof." 
These "two olive trees" are on each side of "the bowl" (YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT and YAHSHUA, JESUS CHRIST)  are The Two Witnesses. 

Rev 11:3-11 
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth. 
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. 
5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed. 
6 These have power to shut heaven, that it rain not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to smite the earth with all plagues, as often as they will. 
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. 
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. 
9 And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves. 
10 And they that dwell upon the earth shall rejoice over them, and make merry, and shall send gifts one to
another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth. 
11 And after three days and an half the Spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them. (KJV) 

These Two are with us today, but are, at this time, "clothed in sackcloth".

How long are they clothed in sackcloth?

 
Rev 11:3-4
3 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.
4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth. (KJV)


They shall receive their righteous robes when they are sealed and baptized of the 2nd Baptism  of YHVH'S HOLY SPIRIT just shortly before Satan's fallen angels arrive in the sight of flesh men on this earth. 

Zech 4: 
4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord? 
5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 
6 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. 

What was this menorah that we looked upon? "This is the word of the LORD" 
And, to whom was this "word of the LORD" sent? 
It was sent unto "Zerubbabel". 
The name "Zerubbabel" means 'sown in confusion' or 'born in confusion'. 
So, YHVH'S Truth is being sent to all who were born or sown in confusion. 
It is only through the unction of YHVH'S Spirit that any is able to come to HIS Truth. 

Zech 4: 
7 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. 

"Who art thou, O great mountain?" 
Whose Great Government/Nation/Kingdom is this, that YHVH'S "candlestick" shall bring HIS Light? 
"before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain" 
In their sight, (those who were born in confusion, but have come out) they shall witness a place of righteousness, prosperous and pleasant. 
And, YAHSHUA shall be the Chief Stone, Our Rock, of this Government. 


Isa 29:17-19 
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest? 
18 And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness. 
19 The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel. (KJV) 

Zech 4: 
8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 
9 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. 

Eph 2:20-22 
20 And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 
21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 
22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit. (KJV) 

Isa 28:16 
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. (KJV) 

1 Pet 2:4-10 
4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious, 
5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. 
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. 
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, 
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. 
9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: 
10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy. (KJV) 

Zech 4: 
10 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. 

Isa 28:15-19 
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves: 
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. 
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place. 
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it. 
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report. (KJV) 


Zech 4: 
11 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? 
12 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? 
13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. 
14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the LORD of the whole earth. (KJV)
