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.
