MSG

NIV

9 "Zerubbabel started rebuilding this Temple and he will complete it. That will be your confirmation that God-of-the-Angel-Armies sent me to you.
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 Does anyone dare despise this day of small beginnings? They'll change their tune when they see Zerubbabel setting the last stone in place!"
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 "And the two olive trees on either side of the lampstand?" I asked. "What's the meaning of them?
11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”
12 And while you're at it, the two branches of the olive trees that feed oil to the lamps - what do they mean?"
12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”
13 He said, "You haven't figured that out?" I said, "No, sir."
13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?” “No, my lord,” I said.
14 He said, "These are the two who stand beside the Master of the whole earth and supply golden lamp oil worldwide."
14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
