The very last verse
is what I find interesting. Is it
referring to the Holy Trinity? And if
so, who are the two anointed ones and who is Lord of the whole earth? Take a look and I will comment on the other
side.
Zechariah 4:1-6(NKJV)
Now the angel who
talked with me came back and wakened me, as a man who is wakened out of his
sleep.
And he said to me,
“What do you see?” So I said, “I am looking, and there is a lampstand of solid gold with a bowl on
top of it, and on the stand seven
lamps with seven pipes to the seven lamps.
Two olive
trees are by it, one at the right
of the bowl and the other at its left.”
So I answered and
spoke to the angel who talked with me, saying, “What are these, my lord?”
Then the angel who
talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I
said, “No, my lord.”
So he answered and
said to me: “This is
the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might
nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of
hosts.
Zechariah 4:11-14(NKJV)
Then I answered and
said to him, “What are these two
olive trees—at the right of the lampstand and at its left?”
And I further
answered and said to him, “What are these
two olive branches that drip into
the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?”
Then he answered me
and said, “Do you not know what these are?”
And I said, “No, my lord.”
So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who
stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.”
I could see this
working two ways with the first one being the most logical. God would be the Lord of the whole earth
while Jesus and the Holy Spirit would be the two anointed ones.
The second but less likely interpretation could be that Jesus is the Lord of the whole earth because this is His Kingdom, with God and the Holy Spirit being the two anointed ones.
I'll have to keep an eye out for future Scriptures that confirm or deny my interpretation.
