1. TWO ANOINTED INDIVIDUALS
God had prophesied two olive trees through Zechariah the prophet in Old Testament period. Zechariah saw two branches beside solid gold lampstand in a vision(Zec 4:2-3).
Zec 4:2-3 He asked me, "What do you see?" I answered, "I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lights on it, with seven channels to the lights. Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left."
Angel showed two olive tree branches beside two gold pipes that pour out golden oil. Zechariah did not know what this vision represented, so he asked the angel. Then, the angel told him that these two olive branches represented the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth. In other words, two olive trees are prophets predicted by God.
There are only four God's servants who were prophesied in the 66 books of the Bible. Two of them are John the Baptist, road preparator for the Lord, and Jesus Christ, who finished Old Testament period. Further, the other two prophets are two olive trees who should finish the New Testament period.
Zec 4:12-14 Again I asked him, "What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?" He replied, "Do you not know what these are?" "No, my lord," I said. So he said, "These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth."
Zechariah saw solid gold lampstand in his vision. It meant Jesus Christ and golden oil represented the Lord's precious blood that is life-giving water. God first showed Moses the gold lampstand, and ordered him to make solid gold lampstand with seven branch pipes and let it be located in a holy place and always with lights on. This light represented seven Holy Ghosts of God, and belonged to the Lamb. Number seven means completion, not number itself. When there are seven eyes on the stone before Joshua, the priest, the work would begin to remove all sins on the earth in a single day. A stone means Lamb, seven eyes are seven spirits of God, and Joshua who takes a role as removing sin stands for two olive trees.?
Rev 4:5 From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder. Before the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God.
Rev 5:6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

Zec 3:9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,' says the LORD Almighty, 'and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
