Well.. I was reading into Zechariah 4 since Monday and had been reading the same chapter for a few days. Well.. I also had been trying to "argue" with the Holy Spirit on certain things in this chapter. Interestingly is this..The entire chapter 4 is talking about the Lampstand and the Olive Trees. What captured my attention was from verse 11 onwards..
Zechariah 4: 11- 14
Then I answered and said to him, "What are these two olive trees, one at the right of the lampstand and the other 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."
WOW!! The lampstand here is the picture of Jesus!! Coz the lampstand in the bible is always referring to the Menorah which has 7 pipes (refer to Zech 4:2). The one in the middle is Jesus. Next, I also ask Daddy God who are the olive trees?? Just like Zechariah asked. Zechariah mentioned about the 2 olive trees, one at the right and the other at the left. This reminds me of the Mount of Transfiguration. Next, the Lord said in Verse 14 that the 2 olive trees are the 2 anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.
Hmm!! Interesting.. Lord of the whole earth? Isn't He Jesus, the Creator of the whole earth? And who's the 2 anointed ones?? Well.. In the entire bible, who are the 2 most prominent anointed men?? Moses and Elijah! Moses as the deliverer and Elijah as the prophet! Initally, I was arguing with the Holy Spirit that how can the these two men actually be the anointed ones? Well, this was what the Holy Spirit told me.. What makes me think that they are not the anointed ones of God?? hahahaha.. Well.. I was eh.. stunned.. and said.. yah hor.. why not?? Both of them are highly anointed by Daddy God and both of them appeared at the Mount of Transfiguration with Jesus! If it's others like David, etc.. How come they don't appear at the Mount of Transfiguration? And also, the Holy Spirit pointed out to me that Moses and Elijah are the 2 anointed ones who STAND beside the Lord of the whole earth. Hey!!
Ok, let us take a short walk to the the Mount of Transfiguration, both Moses and Elijah stood beside Jesus! One on His right, and the other on His left! Moses being the deliverer and Elijah being the prophet. Another thing about Moses is the Law. The Law was given at Mount Sinai from God and it was Moses who brought the law down to the people. Now.. here comes.. Law and Prophecy had always been standing beside Jesus! Jesus came down to fulfil both the Law and the Prophesy!! Cool!! Zechariah actually saw that vision on the Mount of Tranfiguration where Jesus' face shone so brightly. It was accounted in Matt 17:3, Luke 9:30-31. The book of Zechariah was actually written before the last Old Testament book (Malachi). And it's talking so much about Jesus Himself and all that will come to pass. And Zechariah actually saw the vision that Jesus is coming to earth to fulfil the law and the prophecy and that had already happened 2000 years ago!! WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! This last portion was something which I didn't realise until now..
Hallelujah!! I was so thrilled when I was reading Zechariah. hahaha.. now I'm acting like Evelyn my dearie liao.. with her WOW WOW WOW!! okie.. I've got another one more thing to write in another new post.. That was something that I've received yesterday morning while travelling to office in the bus.. hee..
