2. JOSHUA AND ZERUBBABEL
God symbolizes head priest Joshua and governor Zerubbabel as two olive trees. First, head priest Joshua's filthy clothes will be taken off, and he will be dressed in rich garments, and when he follows God's order, then he will rule in God's house. To clarify, Joshua is the one whose sins will be removed, but this all will happen when seven eyes exist on one stone. Therefore, this cannot happen before the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Therefore, from the point of view that sins being removed and authorized to rule over God's house after the mission is fulfilled, we can see that Joshua symbolizes the Winner.
Zec 3:4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, "Take off his filthy clothes." Then he said to Joshua, "See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you."
Zec 3:7 This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'If you will walk in my ways and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.
Another symbolic figure for the olive tree is Zerubbabel. When Zechariah asked the meaning of two olive trees, the angel told the story of Zerubbabel. After receiving God's spirit, Zerubbabel could strike the mountain and make it level ground. This meant the work of the spirit that could destroy sin. People would rejoice because he has plumb line that connects directly with God.
Zec 4:6-7 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. "What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of 'God bless it! God bless it!'"
Zec 4:10 Who despises the day of small things? Men will rejoice when they see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. (These seven are the eyes of the LORD, which range throughout the earth.)
