Zechariah 4 and the Two Olive Trees
from Been There Read That · host Nathan Battey
In todays episode I discuss some of my recent findings within the books of Revelation and Zechariah. In Revelation 11:4 the Bible speaks of two witnesses who are represented as two olive trees and two lampstands. What is the meaning behind the symbolism of lampstands and olive trees? The olive tree symbolism of Revelation 11:4 is taken from Zechariah 4, but merely acknowledging the borrowing does not explain the symbolism. Join us as we discuss this fascinating piece of Biblical prophecy. Books Referenced: Zechariah: A Christian Interpretation by James E.
