Sons of Oil

Zechariah 4:11-14

Then I said to him [the angel who talked with me], What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it?

And a second time I said to him, What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden tubes or spouts by which the golden oil is emptied out?And he answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

Then said he, These are the two sons of oil [Joshua the high priest and Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, the two anointed ones] who stand before the Lord of the whole earth [as His anointed instruments].

Here the prophet is talking to the angel about what he saw in the spirit. He saw two olive trees, two olive branches, and they were by the golden tubes where the oil flows from. The angel said it is the two anointed ones that Stand before The Lord. The king and priest is who the angel told him they were... This is what John saw in his day and wrote it down in our book we read today, Revelations. 

It is a revelation to us who are anointed by Jesus to Stand before Him as His anointed ones, kings and priests unto Him.
