Zechariah 4:4

4: Then I asked the angel, "What are these, my lord? What do they mean?"

I asked the angel who was talking with me, "My lord, what are all those horses for?I will show you," the angel replied.

Then one of the twenty-four elders asked me, "Who are these who are clothed in white? Where do they come from?"
And I said to him, "Sir, you are the one who knows." Then he said to me, "These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb and made them white.

"What is it?" I asked. He replied, "It is a basket for measuring grain, and it is filled with the sins of everyone throughout the land."

So I approached one of those standing beside the throne and asked him what it all meant. He explained it to me like this:
"These four huge beasts represent four kingdoms that will arise from the earth.
But in the end, the holy people of the Most High will be given the kingdom, and they will rule forever and ever."
Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, the one so different from the others and so terrifying. It devoured and crushed its victims with iron teeth and bronze claws, and it trampled what was left beneath its feet.

I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, "How will all this finally end, my lord?"

"What are these?" I asked the angel who was talking with me. He replied, "These horns represent the world powers that scattered Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem."

and what are the two olive branches that pour out golden oil through two gold tubes?"
"Don't you know?" he asked. "No, my lord," I replied.
Then he said to me, "They represent the two anointed ones who assist the Lord of all the earth."
