8. The Lord’s word came to me:
9. The hands of Zerubbabel laid the foundation of this house,and his hands will finish itso that you will know that the Lord of heavenly forces has sent me to you.
10. Those who despise a time of little things will rejoice when they see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.These are the seven eyes of the Lord, surveying the entire earth.
11. I responded to him,"What are these two olive trees on the right and left sides of the lampstand?"
12. Then I responded a second time,"What are these two olive branches that empty out golden oil through the two gold pipes?"
13. He said to me, "Don’t you know what these are?"I said, "No, sir."
14. He said,"These are the two anointed ones standing beside the Lord of all the earth."
