Zechariah and Revelation

The 2 olive trees



Zechariah 2:1-2 - New English Translation (2005)
1. I looked again, and there was a man with a measuring line in his hand. 2. I asked, "Where are you going?" He replied, "To measure Jerusalem in order to determine its width and its length."

Zechariah 4:1-3 - New English Translation (2005)
1. The angelic messenger who had been speaking with me then returned and woke me, as a person is wakened from sleep. 2. He asked me, "What do you see?" I replied, "I see a menorah of pure gold with a receptacle at the top and seven lamps, with fourteen pipes going to the lamps. 3. There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the receptacle and the other on the left."

Revelation 11:1-4 - New English Translation (2005)
1. Then a measuring rod like a staff was given to me, and I was told, "Get up and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and the ones who worship there. 2. But do not measure the outer courtyard of the temple; leave it out, because it has been given to the Gentiles, and they will trample on the holy city for forty-two months. 3. And I will grant my two witnesses authority to prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth. 4. (These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.)

Isaiah 14:5-24 - New English Translation (2005)
5. The LORD has broken the club of the wicked, the scepter of rulers. 6. It furiously struck down nations with unceasing blows. It angrily ruled over nations, oppressing them without restraint. 7. The whole earth rests and is quiet; they break into song. 8. The evergreens also rejoice over your demise, as do the cedars of Lebanon, singing, 'Since you fell asleep, no woodsman comes up to chop us down!' 9. Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive. It rouses the spirits of the dead for you, all the former leaders of the earth; it makes all the former kings of the nations rise from their thrones. 10. All of them respond to you, saying: 'You too have become weak like us! You have become just like us! 11. Your splendor has been brought down to Sheol, as well as the sound of your stringed instruments. You lie on a bed of maggots, with a blanket of worms over you. 12. Look how you have fallen from the sky, O shining one, son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the ground, O conqueror of the nations! 13. You said to yourself, "I will climb up to the sky. Above the stars of El I will set up my throne. I will rule on the mountain of assembly on the remote slopes of Zaphon. 14. I will climb up to the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High!" 15. But you were brought down to Sheol, to the remote slopes of the pit. 16. Those who see you stare at you, they look at you carefully, thinking: "Is this the man who shook the earth, the one who made kingdoms tremble? 17. Is this the one who made the world like a desert, who ruined its cities, and refused to free his prisoners so they could return home?"' 18. As for all the kings of the nations, all of them lie down in splendor, each in his own tomb. 19. But you have been thrown out of your grave like a shoot that is thrown away. You lie among the slain, among those who have been slashed by the sword, among those headed for the stones of the pit, as if you were a mangled corpse. 20. You will not be buried with them, because you destroyed your land and killed your people. The offspring of the wicked will never be mentioned again. 21. Prepare to execute his sons for the sins their ancestors have committed. They must not rise up and take possession of the earth, or fill the surface of the world with cities." 22. "I will rise up against them," says the LORD who commands armies. "I will blot out all remembrance of Babylon and destroy all her people, including the offspring she produces," says the LORD. 23. "I will turn her into a place that is overrun with wild animals and covered with pools of stagnant water. I will get rid of her, just as one sweeps away dirt with a broom," says the LORD who commands armies. 24. The LORD who commands armies makes this solemn vow: "Be sure of this: Just as I have intended, so it will be; just as I have planned, it will happen.
