Seven Pipes to the Seven Lamps

The angel of the Lord came upon me and spoke with me again. I was sleeping and he woke me up hard like I was in a good sleep. He didn’t say good morning, he asked what did I see? I looked and saw a candlestick covered in gold with a bowl sitting on top.

And there were seven lamps and seven pipes to the seven lamps on top of the golden bowl. In addition to all of this, there were two olive trees on each side of the bowl. So I was moved to ask the angel what all these were and were for?

The angel replied, “You don’t know what these are, earth man?” I shook my head from side to side and verbally responded saying no! So the angel proceeded to speak to me and said, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel; not by might nor power, but by my spirit!”

What’s this got to do with Zerubbabel?

I was confused, what did the seven lamps and seven pipes to the seven lamps have to do with Zerubbabel?

The angel continued, “This is what the Lord says, who are you O great mountain before Zerubbabel?” “You will become a flat land; and he will bring forward the headstone with much shouting, crying, grace, and even more Grace,” says the Lord!

More of the word of the Lord came to me and this is what the Lord said. The hands of Zerubbabel has laid the foundation of this house; his hands will also finish the house. Then everyone will know that the Lord of hosts has sent me to them! Who has despised the day of small things, when this house was in its infancy? They will rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel, when he is with those seven (angels). Those seven are the eyes of the Lord, which go through the entire earth.

the seven lamps and seven pipes to the seven lamps…

I was overwhelmed, so I asked about something I saw earlier that the angel never answered. My question was what are the two olive trees that are on both sides of the candlestick with the seven lamps and seven pipes to the seven lamps?

I quickly asked a second question just in case he answered the first and vanished. I asked what are these two olive branches the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of by themselves? The angel replied with a question, that made me feel very ignorant.

He asked, “You don’t know what these are, earth man?” I said no with shame and humility once again. Then the angel said, “These are the two anointed ones that stand by the Lord of the whole earth!” Then he vanished out of sight, I awoke horrified!
