Bible map of Jerusalem with Zechariah. An angel assures the prophet that the Jerusalem Temple will be rebuilt, bigger and better than ever: Zechariah 4 1The angel who talked with me earlier woke me up, just like you’d wake up anyone else. 2He said, “What do you see here?” I said, “I see a gold lampstand. It has a bowl on top. And I see the seven lamps that provide the light. Each lamp has spout for the wick. 3I see the lampstand also has pictures of two olive trees, one on the left side of the bowl and one on the right.” 4I asked the angel, “Sir, what is this about?” 5The angel said, “You don’t understand?” I said, “No sir, I don’t.” 6He answered, “It’s a message from God to Zerubbabel. Here’s the message: ‘You won’t accomplish what you’re doing because of your physical strength, or your military might. Instead, depend on the power of the Spirit of the LORD—the LORD of all. 7Mountains won’t get in Zerubbabel’s way. He’ll sweep them away, flat as a coastal plain. He’s going to finish his work and crown it with a capstone. When he does, everyone will say, “Thank you, Lord.’”
