Zechariah 4:2-3, 11-14
[2]And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
[3]And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.
11]Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
[12]And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
[13]And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
[14]Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
There are *two*, meaning, male, and female. Both male and female, testify, about, the truth. Testifying, involves, sacrifice. Are we willing, to give, this sacrifice, the rest of our days, in our life?
In Revelation, it further reveals the meaning of this. It's in fact confirmation. The two olive trees, or "two witnesses," stand "with" or "by" the Lord of the whole earth. Meaning, they "testify" for Him. This is why the Jesus calls talking about Him "witnessing," "and bearing witness," because it is "giving testimony" in support of God the Most High. Bearing our testimony is one of the meaningful aspects of being part of the "global church." Testifyng of Love, Faithfulness, and other Good Things are acceptable. Hatred, bias, and other Bad Things are not acceptable. This is the difference between the "True Church," of witnesses, and the "False Prophet," or false church leaders mentioned in Revelation, who do not know the meaning of the Bible, and stand to accuse instead of to testify on behalf of the little ones, that God Loves.
