Hag. 2:4‑9,20‑23• 4But now be strong, Zerubbabel, saith Jehovah; and be strong, Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all ye people of the land, saith Jehovah, and work: for I am with you, saith Jehovah of hosts.
5The word that I covenanted with you when ye came out of Egypt, and my Spirit, remain among you: fear ye not.
6For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land;
7and I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts.
8The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith Jehovah of hosts.
9The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts.
20And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai on the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride therein; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.
23In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, my servant, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts. (Hag. 2:4‑9,20‑23)
Zech. 3:1‑4:14• 1And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of Jehovah, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2And Jehovah said unto Satan, Jehovah rebuke thee, O Satan! Yea, Jehovah that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee! Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3And Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the Angel.
4And he spoke and said unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, See, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I clothe thee with festival-robes.
5And I said, Let them set a pure turban upon his head. And they set the pure turban upon his head, and clothed him with garments; and the Angel of Jehovah stood by.
6And the Angel of Jehovah protested unto Joshua, saying,
7Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts; and I will give thee a place to walk among these that stand by.
8Hear now, Joshua the high priest, thou and thy fellows that sit before thee--for they are men of portent--for behold, I will bring forth my servant the Branch.
9For behold, the stone that I have laid before Joshua--upon one stone are seven eyes; behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith Jehovah of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of this land in one day.
10In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall ye invite every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig-tree.
1And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep.
2And he said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I see, and behold, a lamp-stand all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and its seven lamps thereon, seven lamps and seven pipes to the lamps, which are upon the top thereof;
3and two olive-trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl, and the other on the left of it.
4And I answered and spoke to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
5And the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
6And he answered and spoke unto me, saying, This is the word of Jehovah unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith Jehovah of hosts.
7Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou dost become a plain; and he shall bring forth the head-stone with shoutings: Grace, grace unto it!
8And the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
9The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; and his hands shall finish it: and thou shalt know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10For who hath despised the day of small things? Yea, they shall rejoice even those seven--and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel: these are the eyes of Jehovah, which run to and fro in the whole earth.
11And I answered and said unto him, What are these two olive-trees on the right of the lamp-stand and on its left?
12And I answered the second time and said unto him, What are the two olive-branches which are beside the two golden tubes that empty the gold out of themselves?
13And he spoke to me, saying, Knowest thou not what these are? And I said, No, my lord.
14And he said, These are the two sons of oil, that stand before the Lord of the whole earth. (Zech. 3:1‑4:14)
