‏ Zechariah 4:2-3

v. 2: The angel asked Zechariah what he saw. Zechariah saw a golden candlestick (lampstand) with a bowl on top and seven lamps, each with seven spouts. This symbolized the temple and God’s people, who are meant to shine as light in the world. The bowl and lamps showed God providing everything needed for the light to keep shining.

v. 3: Zechariah also saw two olive trees, one on each side of the candlestick. These trees provided oil directly to the bowl, which then supplied the lamps. The oil represents the Holy Spirit, showing that God Himself gives His people power and life, not by human effort but by His Spirit.
