The Candlestick Of Gold and The Two Olive Trees

Zechariah 4
1 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.

The echos between the Old Testament and New Testament. Breath-taking.  Like threads of a tapestry weaved consistently over ages.

Revelations 11
3 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

The importance of the message in Revelations, the unfolding of the mystery of the church and the future beyond it, strikes me. The olive trees must be Peter And Paul.

And Finally From Zechariah 4
13 And he [the angel] answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
14 Then said he, These [two olive trees] are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
