Zechariah Part 11 - The Night Visions: How God Builds
God builds God’s work through God’s Spirit—not through human strength, strategy, or resources.
In Zechariah’s fifth night vision, the prophet sees a golden lampstand that is continuously supplied with oil—no human tending required. The vision becomes a word to Zerubbabel, the governor overseeing the temple rebuild: the work will be completed, but not by human might or power—by the Spirit of the Lord. This episode traces the symbolism of the lampstand and oil, the encouragement God gives to discouraged builders, and practical applications for perseverance, humility, and faithfulness in “small things.”
