CHAP. IV.

1 By the golden Candlesticke is foreshewed the good successe of Zerubbabels foundation. 11 By the two Oliue trees the two anointed ones.

¹And the Angell that talked with me, came againe and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleepe:

²And said vnto mee, What seest thou? and I said, I haue looked, and behold a candlesticke all of gold, with a bowle vpon the top of it, and his seuen lampes thereon, and seuen pipes to the seuen lampes, which were vpon the top thereof.²

⁴So I answered and spake to the Angell that talked with mee, saying: What are these, my Lord?

⁵Then the Angel that talked with me, answered and said vnto me; Knowest thou not what these be? and I said; No, my Lord.

⁶Then hee answered and spake vnto mee, saying; This is the word of the Lord vnto Zerubbabel, saying; Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hostes.⁶
