Which brings us to the Lords 2 witnesses in Revelation 11:3-4 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Many believe the 2 witnesses, 2 Olive trees, 2 candlesticks are 2 single individual men like Moses and Elijah. But when you understand the time of 1,260 days to be symbolic, then perhaps you’ll search it out. I will give you scriptural proof just who these 2 anointed witnesses are, if you can receive it.

Notice in Zechariah the two Olive trees feed the Oil to the two candlesticks, which in turn lighten His 7 lamps.
Zechariah 4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

And if we back up we’ll see the bigger picture of this, and even the answer to Zechariah’s question, who these 2 truly are?

Zechariah 4:1-6
“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”


The angel answered Zechariahs question as to who these were, but Zechariah missed it because he asks the angel again in verse 12, and the angel once again tells him these are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

And these 2 anointed ones are Gods Word and Spirit, which feed the Oil (Spirit) to the 7 lamps.

But let’s take this mystery step by step …
First notice the two olive branches feed the oil to the
7 pipes, which light the 7 lamps. (Zech 4:2)
Then notice in Zech 4:10 the angel tells Zechariah that those 7 lamps are the
7 eyes of the Lord.


Zechariah 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”

But before I go any further let me say this for sure, there is no flesh and blood man, or men who is in control of, or even feeds the Oil (Holy Spirit) to the 7 eyes of the Lord.

Notice here the 7 lamps are shown as the 7 spirits of God (7 eyes of the Lord)
Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Now here again we are shown the 7 eyes (same as the 7 lamps, which are the 7 spirits of God)

Zechariah 3:9 “For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

And again we see the angel talking about those 7 lamps (7 eyes / 7 spirits of God) whom the 2 anointed feed the Oil (Spirit) into.

Zechariah 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”

And then finally we see the One stone (Precious Stone/Rock) on which those 7 eyes (7 spirits of God) would be in
Revelation 5:6 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”

So you see it is the Lord's Word and Spirit (2 anointed ones) that feed the oil to lighten the 7 lamps ( 7 eyes / 7 spirits of God) And who bears witness in heaven? The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And here we see the One stone that would bear witness of Himself (Word) along with the Fathers (Spirit) who would also bear witness of Him.

John 8:18 “I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.” And those who are born of Him, also have this same witness dwelling in themselves. 1 John 5:10 “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: “

Jesus Christ is the true and faithful witness that dwells in all his anointed saints, and that is how the Father speaks to the world, by Christ in us, or God’s Word and Spirit in us. We see this in Isaiah 59:21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”

These are those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ in them, for the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.

It was known from apostolic times that two witnesses are Enoch and Elijah.
Till now in scope of tradition of genuine christianity it is know that it will be Enoch and Elijah.

And the message to an Angel of Philadelphian Church addressed to one of them.
And the parable of prodigal son, spoken by the Lord, is a story of Enoch and Elajah.

No where in scripture are Elijah and Enoch shown as the two olive trees, or 2 candlesticks. I have shown by scripture what these 2 anointed ones are (God's Word and Spirit) which dwell in all God's anointed saints.

No where in scripture are Elijah and Enoch shown as the two olive trees, or 2 candlesticks. I have shown by scripture what these 2 anointed ones are (God's Word and Spirit) which dwell in all God's anointed saints.
Let's see, in John 1:1, it is written "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

Likewise it is written in John 4:24, "God is a Spirit" So one might consider that the Spirit and the Word are two forms of the eternal Phasma. Have ye received the Phasma since you believed? The common response is that they have not heard of the Phasma. Which is very similar to Acts 19:2.

While in John 8:42 it is written, "Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me."

Now considering 1 John 5:7, wherein it is written, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." wouldn't that contradict the interpretation that the Spirit and the Word are the two anointed ones since the Spirit and the Word, are the Holy Ghost, like your dad and mom are your parents.
As one can see written in Genesis 2:24, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Thus as written in John 3:6, "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."As written in Matthew 1:18,: "Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost." Which is further clarified in Matt 1:20 wherein it is written, "But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost."

"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me: And ye also shall bear witness, because ye have been with me from the beginning." John 15:26-27
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." John 14:26

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Rev 13:8

"And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Rev 13:8
Phasma? lol Not sure what that means. But I have received His testimony.

1 John 5:10 “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: “

Jesus Christ is the true and faithful witness that dwells in all his anointed saints, and that is how the Father speaks to the world, by Christ in us, or God’s Word and Spirit in us. We see this in
Isaiah 59:21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”

These are those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ in them, for the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.

I'm going to add some things to this post from another post so I can keep them all together for future reference. :)

Notice how the Lord destroys those who hurt his saints who have his witness in them.....

Revelation 11:5
And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.

Here is the answer to this mystery.....

Jeremiah 5:14
Wherefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

The book of Revelation is very symbolic, and one needs to pay close attention to the wording because that is where you will find the clues you need in other parts of scripture to unlock the mystery. But it is only by the Holy Spirit one can receive this understanding. God's 2 witnesses are in all his saints, it is the bodies of the saints that are laying in the streets. Just as God's saints are referred to in scripture as the "holy city" and as Zion. Notice the wording....

Revelation 11:7-9 "And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them. (war against the saints who have the testimony of Jesus Christ)[SUP]8 [/SUP]And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

[SUP]9 [/SUP]And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves."

Now compare to the wording here.....

Isaiah 51:16-23
[SUP]16 [/SUP]And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee? desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.
[SUP]21 [/SUP]Therefore hear now this, thou afflicted, and drunken, but not with wine:
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:

[SUP]23 [/SUP]But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."

Notice above God calls his people Zion, and Jerusalem (holy city), and they lie in the streets, and then God tells them to awake as in resurrection, like the bodies of the 2 witnesses in the streets. Now notice the wording again....


Revelation 11:11
And after three days and an half the spirit of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them which saw them.

Compare....


Hosea 6:2
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."

Again compare....

Revelation 11:9 "And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.

Psalm 79:2-3 "The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.[SUP]3 [/SUP]Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them."

In the book of Revelation we are shown a mystery of the Lords 2 witnesses, which are God’s 2 anointed ones. Revelation 11:4 “These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.”

This mystery is also shown here in Zechariah 4:12-14
“And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes
empty the golden oil out of themselves?[SUP]13 [/SUP]And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.[SUP]14 [/SUP]Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.”


The 2 anointed witnesses of God the Father are His Word and Spirit, just as God the Father anointed His Son with the
Oil of gladness.
Psalm 45:7 “Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.”

The
golden Oil feeding the lamps to Light them is God’s Spirit, just as the anointing Oil of God’s Spirit illuminates our eyes of understanding. The Lord shows this symbolism in many different parts of scripture. So let’s explore…

Exodus 25:31 “And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.”

Now concerning the Branch (His shaft) and the True Vine, and also the Root of the Olive Tree which supplies the Life blood (
Oil to Light) to the 7 spirits.


Concerning the BRANCH…..

Zechariah 6:12 “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The Branch; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the Lord:”

Concerning the Vine

John 15:1 “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.
John 15:4 “Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.”

And now for the
Life source (ROOT) of the good Olive tree……

Romans 11:16-24 “For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.[SUP]17 [/SUP]And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert grafted in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;[SUP]18 [/SUP]Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.[SUP]20 [/SUP]Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:[SUP]21 [/SUP]For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.[SUP]22 [/SUP]Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.”
[SUP]23 [/SUP]And they also, if they abide not still in unbelief, shall be grafted in: for God is able to graft them in again.[SUP]24 [/SUP]For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?”

Now back to the metaphor of the candlesticks, and notice who is in the midst of the 7, like
Oil is in the midst of the golden shaft feeding the lamps Light.


Revelation 1:12….”And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
[SUP]13 [/SUP]And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.”……….[SUP]20 [/SUP]The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.” (churches like branches on the Vine)


The 7 stars=angels=spirits of God are also fueled by the golden oil of God’s Spirit, as is written in Hebrews 1:7 “And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels
spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.”

Continued next....

A shadow of the 7 lamps is also shown here…

Exodus 25:37 “And thou shalt make the seven lamps thereof: and they shall light the lamps thereof, that they may give light over against it.”

Keep in Aaron was also a similitude of our High Priest Jesus Christ…

Numbers 8:2 “Speak unto Aaron and say unto him, When thou lightest the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light over against the candlestick.”

The golden oil of God’s Spirit is in the midst of the golden pipes to feed the light to the 7 lamps, just as Jesus is the Light of the world.


Revelation 2:1 “Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

Candle sticks can be removed or put out from the Life of the Oil extinguishing the Light in it, this is known as quenching the Spirit. Just like branches can be removed from the Life blood of the Vine, and wither and die. Again examples of this….


Revelation 2:5 “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.”

And again in Romans 11:19-22
[SUP][/SUP]Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in.[SUP]20 [/SUP]Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:[SUP]21 [/SUP]For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee.[SUP]22 [/SUP]Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.”


Same shown here…..


John 15:5
[SUP][/SUP]I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. [SUP]6 [/SUP]If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.”

We are told in Daniel that the little horn called “it”= spirit of a lie would cast the truth to the ground and also make war with the saints, and that many of the saints would be overcome and even killed until the time of the end. This war is not only physical against the saints but is also the spiritual war that is also spoken of in scripture. This is also shown in the flood of persecution and of lies that would come out of the mouth of the Serpent trying to overtake the seed of the woman (Jerusalem) or saints.

Now let’s compare prophecy…..


Revelation 11:7 “
And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.”


Notice this is the same language used when the spirit of a lie=little horn=tail of the Red Dragon= spirit of antichrist working
in a host would make war on the saints, and also prevail, wear out, overcome, and even kill many of the saints….


Daniel 7:21
I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;"

"And
he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High,”


Red Dragon gives him his
power
….
[SUP]
24 [/SUP]And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.= saints being killed

[SUP]33 [/SUP]And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. (notice many days)
[SUP]34 [/SUP]Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.[SUP]35 [/SUP]And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed."

Now what I want you to notice in the above and also in the prophecy in Isaiah below is how God said he would pour out his fury on his people Jerusalem for a time, which speaks of the
“days of vengeance”Jesus said would start right after the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple= abomination of desolation= starting point of tribulation of “those days” which is to the Jews first as written. But notice the words in red in verse 33 and compare to Isaiah below in verse 19.


Isaiah 51:16-23 "And
I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, Thou art my people.
[SUP]17 [/SUP]
Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury; thou hast drunken the dregs of the cup of trembling, and wrung them out.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]
There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she hath brought forth; neither is there any that taketh her by the hand of all the sons that she hath brought up.
[SUP]19 [/SUP]These two things are come unto thee; who shall be sorry for thee?
desolation, and destruction, and the famine, and the sword: by whom shall I comfort thee?
[SUP]20 [/SUP]Thy sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as a wild bull in a net: they are full of the fury of the Lord, the rebuke of thy God.”

[SUP]22 [/SUP]Thus saith thy Lord the Lord, and thy God that pleadeth the cause of his people, Behold, I have taken out of thine hand the cup of trembling, even the dregs of the cup of my fury; thou shalt no more drink it again:[SUP]23 [/SUP]But I will put it into the hand of them that afflict thee; which have said to thy soul, Bow down, that we may go over: and thou hast laid thy body as the ground, and as the street, to them that went over."

And then above we again see the sign of God’s saints dead bodies laid in the street, and also shown below…

Revelation 11:8
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Now more confirmation of when the war on the saints started, who have the testimony of Jesus Christ. This started right after the man child Jesus was caught up to heaven, and the woman (Jerusalem) fled into the wilderness.

Revelation 12:15 “And the serpent cast out of his mouth water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.”

Revelation 12:17 “And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Revelation 13:7“And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.”

Again same with the 2 witnesses…

Revelation 11:7 “And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and kill them.”

So you a host given to the
Prince of this world to make war against the saints by reason of transgression, and there is also a war against the Truth, as God’s Word is Truth…


Daniel 8:12 “And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.” =lies would prosper for a time.”

But in the end the Lamb would overcome them…..


Revelation 17:13-14
"These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]
These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

And unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

we believe that they will be a man and a woman of the Tribe of Judah...
the husband is originally from the tribe of Ephraim, and after marrying into
the Tribe of Judah is now considered to be a member of the Tribe of Judah
through marriage...'This HEALS the BREACH between Israel and Judah...

this is who we believe are the 'two-witnesses' of Jesus Christ...

Which brings us to the Lords 2 witnesses in Revelation 11:3-4 And I will give power unto my two witnesses, and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and threescore days, clothed in sackcloth.4 These are the two olive trees, and the two candlesticks standing before the God of the earth.

Many believe the 2 witnesses, 2 Olive trees, 2 candlesticks are 2 single individual men like Moses and Elijah. But when you understand the time of 1,260 days to be symbolic, then perhaps you’ll search it out. I will give you scriptural proof just who these 2 anointed witnesses are, if you can receive it.

Notice in Zechariah the two Olive trees feed the Oil to the two candlesticks, which in turn lighten His 7 lamps.
Zechariah 4:12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?

And if we back up we’ll see the bigger picture of this, and even the answer to Zechariah’s question, who these 2 truly are?

Zechariah 4:1-6
“And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
6
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.”


The angel answered Zechariahs question as to who these were, but Zechariah missed it because he asks the angel again in verse 12, and the angel once again tells him these are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.

And these 2 anointed ones are Gods Word and Spirit, which feed the Oil (Spirit) to the 7 lamps.

But let’s take this mystery step by step …
First notice the two olive branches feed the oil to the
7 pipes, which light the 7 lamps. (Zech 4:2)
Then notice in Zech 4:10 the angel tells Zechariah that those 7 lamps are the
7 eyes of the Lord.


Zechariah 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”

But before I go any further let me say this for sure, there is no flesh and blood man, or men who is in control of, or even feeds the Oil (Holy Spirit) to the 7 eyes of the Lord.

Notice here the 7 lamps are shown as the 7 spirits of God (7 eyes of the Lord)
Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Now here again we are shown the 7 eyes (same as the 7 lamps, which are the 7 spirits of God)

Zechariah 3:9 “For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.”

And again we see the angel talking about those 7 lamps (7 eyes / 7 spirits of God) whom the 2 anointed feed the Oil (Spirit) into.

Zechariah 4:10 “For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.”

And then finally we see the One stone (Precious Stone/Rock) on which those 7 eyes (7 spirits of God) would be in
Revelation 5:6 “And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.”

So you see it is the Lord's Word and Spirit (2 anointed ones) that feed the oil to lighten the 7 lamps ( 7 eyes / 7 spirits of God) And who bears witness in heaven? The Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit. And here we see the One stone that would bear witness of Himself (Word) along with the Fathers (Spirit) who would also bear witness of Him.

John 8:18 “I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.” And those who are born of Him, also have this same witness dwelling in themselves. 1 John 5:10 “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: “

Jesus Christ is the true and faithful witness that dwells in all his anointed saints, and that is how the Father speaks to the world, by Christ in us, or God’s Word and Spirit in us. We see this in Isaiah 59:21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”

These are those who have the testimony of Jesus Christ in them, for the testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.

really, REALLY great post bro.

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.

It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life

And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Thanks bro, and yes God's Living Word will dwell in us, which is the mystery of Christ in us.

Colossians 1:26-29 "Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:[SUP]27 [/SUP]To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
[SUP]28 [/SUP]Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

[SUP]29 [/SUP]Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."


2 Corinthians 13:5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?

Romans 8:9
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

The Spirit takes of His and shows it unto us, and we also speak of what we see and hear.

John 16:15 “All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”

John 3:8 “The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

We do not need to go to heaven to receive Jesus' testimony, because the testimony of Jesus Christ is in us.....

John 3:13 “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”

Romans 10:6-8 “
But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring
Christ down from above)

[SUP]7 [/SUP]Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)
[SUP]8 [/SUP]But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;”

Isaiah 59:21 “As for me, this is my covenant with them, saith the Lord; My spirit that is upon thee, and my words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the Lord, from henceforth and for ever.”
