Chapter overview (whole chapter)

Zechariah 4 records the prophet's fifth vision, in which the awakening angel shows him a golden candlestick with a bowl, seven lamps, and seven pipes, flanked by two olive trees. When Zechariah asks what these are, the angel answers with the Lord's word to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit,' promising that the great mountain will become a plain and that Zerubbabel will lay the temple's foundation and finish it, with shouts of 'Grace, grace' to the capstone. The chapter closes with the explanation of the two olive trees as the two anointed ones who stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
