Ministry on This Verse

+
two olive.
two candlesticks.
standing.
the God.
 In Zechariah, though there are two olive-trees mentioned, there is only one candlestick; here there are two, because they are the two witnesses who prophesy of the coming earthly glory, but who do not bring it in personally. That is to say, it is not the regular order of God, but a proof that His eye is upon His people for good before full blessing comes. (Lectures on Revelation 11:1-18 by W. Kelly)
 Two Olive-Trees and Two Candlesticks: God’s declared witness to the re-establishment of Israel with royalty and priesthood (Zech. 4). (Revelation 11 Symbols by A.H. Burton)

J. N. Darby Translation

These are the two olive trees and the two lamps which stand before the Lord of the earth;

W. Kelly Translation

4
These are the two olive trees, and the two lamp-stands that standa before the Lordb of the earth.

WK Translation Notes

+
a
In the critical text of 4 we have another sort of irregularity, when in the same clause appears formal and rational concord; and the Revisers attempt no reflection of it in giving "standing."
b
"Lord" of the earth is right. The T. R. reading "God" is not without support, but all the oldest MSS. and versions read "Lord." The former was probably due to the tempting antithesis "to the God of heaven," in verse 13.
