CHAPTER 4
.
The Gold Lampstand and Two Olive Trees 1 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. 2 He asked me, “What do you see?”
I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I replied.
6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.
7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”
8 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD Almighty has sent me to you.
10 “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the LORD that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I said.
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”

NOTES ON MY SELECTION CRITERIA
A r t
Q u a l i t y
Often, artists misrepresent the Scripture, but unless the error is material, licentious or heretical I usually include the artwork, trusting that the Spirit is perfectly capable of defending Himself. So, with such forgiving filters, it means that you're seeing practically everything I'm finding.

Then, there is the human element: this is not actually a daily series, because I can only research, compose, edit and post five or six of these installments weekly. And because I only get to do this series once, I'm taking my time, chiefly by posting everything. If I find lots of art, I don't cherry-pick some and discard the rest; the one I throw out might be exactly the one that God wants to use to touch your heart. Instead, I line up all of them and then sort them into manageable bunches, often resulting in multiple days' episodes of the same story. Obviously, I like being thorough. Were you in a big hurry?
The Bible is a thick book, as you know; but we'll get there eventually, Lord willing—this is His project, after all. And always remember:
love, joy, peace, patience kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control is a fruit of the Spirit!. .
Art is merely the Toy Department of Bible study,
so I'm just having fun here—I hope you are, too!
Thank you for your understanding.Hebrews 11:6

#12 is a favorite of mine. I used to have it on the bottom of the J-Thread back in 2012-13. Of course, all my images were stored on tinypic, which crashed and burned, so now all the old images have disappeared from my early threads.
Back to Hot-Linking!
It amuses me to revisit my older threads and discover missing images. My very first post now is down to exactly one image!
Interestingly enough, I got the references to “The Two Witnesses of Revelation” instantly the first time I read the Passage.
It was during my image search that I also theorized the secondary fulfillment as the two Final Witnesses to the One True God (”Real” Christians and Believing Jews) would be the only ones supporting Israel in the Last Days. Indeed, the Seven-Branch Menorah IS the official symbol of the modern Jewish State of Israel.
Remember...it’s only a theory, and a personal one.
I’m glad you mentioned and explained it, Mary-Lou the Magnificent. It rings true for me.
In agreement about the beautiful illumination at #12. I also like the fantasy in the contemporary illustration at #22.
I always enjoy images showing 12’-tall angels. Makes the statement clearly that they are a distinctly different race than we are.
Thanks for your efforts. I look forward to looking at your posts.
Today’s was particularly interesting. I had to keep going back to the scriptures and thinking, “Yeah, I can see how you could interpret the scripture wording that way.”
Nice way to start the day. ;o)
Nice to hear from you—and I’m especially glad to hear this is facilitating your interaction with the Word.
Zechariah had those nine visions, but only this one really fired artists’ imaginations. They agreed with you that this “was particularly interesting.”

Thanks! :-)

STICK AROUND, PLEASE! Certainly don't want you missing out on the upcoming NEW TESTAMENT.

I'm retired now, so I do Bible art for $0.00--LOL.
to the art you post for Revelation 11:4!
Indeed. It’s well that patience/longsuffering/endurance is a fruit of the Spirit.
