• The angel, in replying to the prophet, does not answer his two questions, but, evidently regarding the olive trees and the olive branches as one and the same, says, These are the two sons of oil. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)

• Israel was set to be God’s vessel of testimony on earth, and it failed, how completely we know. After the Jewish nation had been rejected as God’s responsible witness, the Church came into its place; and the letter to Laodicea (Rev. 3) informs us also of its failure. After the Church shall have been removed from the scene, Christ Himself will come, and He will answer to all God’s thoughts in the perfectness of His testimony. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)

• The olive trees (the sons of oil) were the two sources whence the light of the candlestick was fed and sustained. What then are these? Zerubbabel was the governor of Judah, Joshua (chap. 3) was the high priest, and the two combined were therefore a type of Christ as the priest on His throne; and hence the two olive trees, as another has written, “are the royalty and the priesthood of Christ, which maintain, by power and spiritual grace, the perfect light of divine order among the Jews.” These are the sources whence this perfect light is fed and maintained. (“Zechariah 4” by E. Dennett)
