Zechariah 4

Then I answered and said to him, “What are these two olive trees—at the right of the lamp stand and at its left?” And I further answered and said to him, “What are these two olive branches that drip into the receptacles of the two gold pipes from which the golden oil drains?  Then he answered me and said, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.” vv.11-14

Read chapter 4
After Zechariah had seen a vision of Joshua the High priest in chapter three and then here of a vision of olive trees and lamp stands with Zerubbabel, Zechariah asks what the significance of all this.  So the Lord plainly answers that these are the two anointed ones who stand beside Him.  Now what does that mean?  Well I believe this could be speaking of the two witnesses in Revelation chapter eleven.  There it describes the witness very similar to the vision Zechariah sees here.  Revelation 11:3-6, "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.” These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth.  And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire."

What a great privilege these two men receive to be named the two witnesses in the Day of the Lord.  We all can and ought to live as witnesses of the Lord in this day of evil we are living in for He has privileged us with the seal of the Holy Spirit.
