Look Up And See

Zechariah 5:2-5 - He asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.” And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. The LORD Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the house of anyone who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in that house and destroy it completely, both its timbers and its stones.’” Then the angel who was speaking to me came forward and said to me, “Look up and see what is appearing.”

Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”… So he said to me, “This is the word of the LORD to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty…So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”
