We shift from our last focus on the pastorate (Joshua son of Jehozadak) to the executive leadership (Zerubbabel). The imagery can remind us of that used by John in the book of Revelations. The lampstand and 7 lamps are likely the visible temple, being fed oil automatically from two olive trees directly through pipes. The two trees likely represent the “anointed ones”, most directly the executive and pastoral leadership.

It’s an interesting passage set apart for executive leadership, “Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit”. 

New podcasts available each week. Next week... Zechariah 5.
