ZECHARIAH THE PROPHET – LESSON 7
THE CANDLESTICK AND OLIVE TREES
Zechariah’s fifth night vision (Zechariah Ch. 4) featured the symbolism of a candlestick bearing seven “lamps” and two olive trees. The candlestick (like a menorah) had a bowl on top full of olive oil. Each lamp had its own pipe feeding oil from the bowl to the burning lamp. Two olive trees, one on each side, fed a steady stream of oil into the bowl which supplied the lamps. Oil represents the Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) which moves on earth to accomplish the works of God.
The purpose was to declare that Zerubbabel, the governor, would complete the building of God’s temple which had halted (stopped) fourteen years earlier due to enemy opposition. However, it would not be by any strength or might which Zerubbabel and the people had to complete it, but by the will of the Lord.
Zechariah 4:7 says that this “mountain” of opposition will be overcome, “Not by (your) might, nor by (your) power, but by my Spirit saith the Lord.” Zerubbabel would lay the head stone (cornerstone) and also bring it to completion.
Zerubbabel was the legal heir to Israel’s throne as the great grandson of King Jehoiakim and grandson of Jeconiah (Matthew 1:13), thus, in Jesus’ legal line (through Joseph). A quirk of Jewish law in marriage (no room to explain) also inserted in the scriptures placed Zerubbabel into Jesus’ blood line through Mary’s lineage. Zerubbabel then is a fore type of Messiah in building God’s temple (the church, the born-again followers of Jesus).
The two olive trees which supply the oil to the “lamps” represent, I believe, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. It is by their power and anointing that the church became the lamp to show light to the world. We are His temple, and we are told not to hide our light under a cover (bushel).
While the man Zerubbabel built the temple in his day, so it also shows the cornerstone upon which God’s church (in Jesus) is built. We are that “temple.”

WITNESS IN THE SPIRIT
Romans 8:16 says, “The Spirit itself (himself) beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God.”
Have you ever met someone and immediately you knew they were Christians? Have you ever wondered how you could “know in your knower” that this was the case?
When Jesus’ mother Mary, pregnant with Jesus, went to visit her older cousin Elizabeth, it says in Luke 1: “and it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.” John the Baptist was that baby in Elizabeth’s womb. Before he was conceived, it tells us his story In Luke 1:15. The angel Gabriel visited his father, Zechariah and told him: “he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother’s womb.”
When we become born again, the Holy Spirit dwells in us, just like it did John the Baptist and other Spirit-filled people in the Bible. The Holy Spirit in you recognizes the Holy Spirit in others. That is the “witness in the Spirit.” This witness helps us to discern who is with us and who is against us. You “know” they are part of the “family of God” by this witness.
There is a day coming when we may have to totally depend upon this “witness in the Spirit” to save our lives. Persecution is already happening across the world. We will not be able to ask people of they are Christians for fear of being killed, but we can have the “witness in the Spirit” let us know.
When John leaped in the womb it was because he recognized the Spirit of God in Mary. Then when that happened John’s mother was filled with the Holy Spirit and started to prophesy. Yes, we can know the legitimate from the counterfeit by this witness. Ask God to reveal to you those that are His, and you will see how it works. He wants us to be led by Holy Spirit into all truth.

Prophetic Word
As given to Helen Sanders
Woe unto them that call evil good and good evil. For you shall see a shaking of all that can be shaken. I will bring down those things of darkness that have tried to lift up their heads and proclaim truth that is not truth. Yes, I am the one that will expose the darkness. I shall surely expose it, and it shall come into light. I am light, and when my light shines on darkness, it is exposed. Like a thief caught in the act, it shall try to run, but I shall overtake it, and shall bring it to nothing. Hold fast to my truth, saith the Lord, for my truth is, was and shall ever be the only way to advance. Let yourself soak in my truth, in my word, in my presence, and you shall see those things of darkness be dispelled. Only my presence, only my truth shall be the source of doing this dispelling, and it shall happen. Do not try to do the work, for it shall not work. I am the only one that will remove the things that say they are good, and are evil. I alone will bring satisfaction to the claims of darkness, for I am the one that lifts up, and I am the one that tears down. Do not be hindered by evil, seek after good, and seek after the one that is good, for in me, shall you find peace. Let this be known, that I will surely do this, and you shall see it with your eyes. Many shall seek to find the evil, but it will be gone, and they shall not believe it has happened, but it will happen, for I the Lord have spoken it.
This word was originally given in November of 2011, but many times prophetic words do not happen immediately. I believe it is a word for this present time.
