“What do you see now? he asked. I answered, I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl of oil on top of it. Around the bowl are seven lamps, each having seven spouts with wicks. And I see two olive trees, one on each side of the bowl. Then I asked the angel, What are these, my Lord? What do they mean?
And I will give power to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands standing before the God of the earth. And if anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouth and devours their enemies. And if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this manner. These have power to shut heaven, so that no rain falls in the days of their prophecy; and they have power over waters to turn them to blood, and to strike the earth with all plagues, as often as they desire.
Then I asked the angel, What are these two olive trees on each side of the lampstand, 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 stand in the court of the Lord of all the earth.”
