Zec 4:11-12 | MHM | STEP | The Vision of the Olive-Trees. Zechariah had already received much encouragement from God about rebuilding the temple, but he still wanted to understand more about the vision he had seen. He was curious about the details and humbly asked for more explanation. This shows that it is good to keep asking God about spiritual things because there is always more to learn. Zechariah noticed two olive trees and two olive branches in the vision, and he wanted to know what they meant, especially how the oil from the branches flowed into the golden bowl of the lampstand. v. 11-12 : Zechariah asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?” and then, “What are these two olive branches?” (Zechariah 4:11-12 ). He saw that the branches emptied golden oil through two golden pipes into the bowl. Zechariah wanted to know more about how the grace and blessing of God are given to His people. He noticed not only the trees but also how the oil was specially provided. This shows that when we want to understand God’s grace, we need to look at how it flows to us, often through special ways God has chosen.

The Vision of the Olive-Trees.

Zechariah had already received much encouragement from God about rebuilding the temple, but he still wanted to understand more about the vision he had seen. He was curious about the details and humbly asked for more explanation. This shows that it is good to keep asking God about spiritual things because there is always more to learn. Zechariah noticed two olive trees and two olive branches in the vision, and he wanted to know what they meant, especially how the oil from the branches flowed into the golden bowl of the lampstand.

v. 11-12: Zechariah asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?” and then, “What are these two olive branches?” (Zechariah 4:11-12 ^a). He saw that the branches emptied golden oil through two golden pipes into the bowl. Zechariah wanted to know more about how the grace and blessing of God are given to His people. He noticed not only the trees but also how the oil was specially provided. This shows that when we want to understand God’s grace, we need to look at how it flows to us, often through special ways God has chosen.
