The Hebraic Book of Revelation – Part 11C Zechariah 4:1 And the messenger who was speaking to me came back and woke me up as a man is awakened from sleep. Zec 4:2  And he said to me, “What do you see?” So I said, “I have looked, and see: a lampstand all of gold with a bowl on top of it, and on the stand seven lamps with seven spouts to the seven lamps. Zec 4:3  “And two olive trees are by it, one at the right of the bowl and the other at its left.” Zec 4:4  Then I responded and spoke to the messenger who was speaking to me, saying, “What are these, my master?” Zec 4:5  And the messenger who was speaking to me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my master. Zec 4:6  And he answered and said to me, “This is the word of יהוה to Zerubbaḇel, ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ said יהוה of hosts. Zec 4:7  Who are you, great mountain, before Zerubbaḇel? A plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of “Favour, favour to it!” ’ ” Zec 4:8  And the word of יהוה came to me, saying, Zec 4:9  “The hands of Zerubbaḇel have laid the foundation of this House, and his hands shall complete it. And you shall know that יהוה of hosts has sent Me to you. Zec 4:10  “For who has despised the day of small beginnings? They shall rejoice when they see the plumb-line in the hand of Zerubbaḇel. These seven are the eyes of יהוה, which diligently search throughout all the earth.” Zec 4:11  Then I responded and said to him, “What are these two olive trees, one at the right of the lampstand and the other at its left?” Zec 4:12  And I responded a second time and said to him, “What are these two olive branches which empty golden oil from themselves by means of the two gold pipes?” Zec 4:13  And he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my master.” Zec 4:14  And he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Mastera of all the earth.” The two olive trees are both congregations of Israel, both representing יהוה , both sending forth an a witness, both producing an individual witness to prophecy and together both representing the whole people of Israel.  These are the same two olive trees seen by Zechariah chapter 4.  Most believers still can’t answer this question. Yahweh is astounded by most people’s inability to pick up on the two-house concept.  This same blindness was seen in Zachariah, even though he prophesied about it.  The two olive trees are:  Two Houses: Isaiah 8:14 And He shall be a sanctuary for you, but for a stone of stumbling, and for a rock of falling to both the houses of Israel, for a trap and for a snare to the people of Jerusalem. Jeremiah 31:31 Behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that I will cut a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah, Jeremiah 11:16 יהוה  called your name, a green olive tree, fair, with fine fruit. With the sound of a great storm He has set fire to it, and its branches are worthless. Two Nations Ezekiel 35:10 Because you have said, These two nations and these two lands shall be mine, and we shall possess it; yet Jehovah was there.  Two Chosen Families Jeremiah 33:24 Do you not consider what this people have spoken, saying, The two families which Jehovah has chosen, He has even cast them off? So they have despised My people, that they should be no more a nation before them. Two Backslidden Sisters Ezekiel 23:2 Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother. And they fornicated in Egypt; they whored in their youth, their breasts were handled, and there their virgin nipples were worked. Two Olive Branches Zechariah 4:11 And I answered and said to him, What are these two olive trees on the right of the lampstand and on its left? Zec 4:12  And I answered again and said to him, What are the two olive clusters beside the two golden pipes, emptying the golden oil from themselves? Zec 4:13  And he answered me and said, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my l
