ÔÇ£Just Finish ItÔÇØ

By Scott Hunter

Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. 2 He asked me, ÔÇ£What do you see?ÔÇØ I answered, ÔÇ£I see a solid gold lamp stand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.ÔÇØ 4 I asked the angel who talked with me, ÔÇ£What are these, my lord?ÔÇØ 5 He answered, ÔÇ£Do you not know what these are?ÔÇØÔÇ£No, my lord,ÔÇØ I replied. 6 So he said to me, ÔÇ£This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ÔÇÿNot by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,ÔÇÖ says the Lord Almighty.7 ÔÇ£What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ÔÇÿGod bless it! God bless it!ÔÇÖÔÇØ8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 ÔÇ£The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.10 ÔÇ£Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?ÔÇØ (Zechariah 4:1-10)

In Zechariah 4:1-10, there is a great account of what needs to be done to finish what God intends for your life. The prophet gives details of his encounter with the angel of God and his message to Zerubbabel. In his vision he sees several things. He sees a lamp stand made of gold with a bowl on top, seven lamps with seven pipes, and also seven lamps. Beside this, were two olive trees. In this season, I believe that this is the interpretation for us. The lamp stand represents our foundation, and gold represents purity.

I believe that God is allowing us to be shaken to our very foundation and His fire is removing all things that would hinder our growth. The bowl represents the place to receive and to pour out. We have to be willing to receive everything that God has for us, good or bad, so that we can be the vessel that He desires us to be. The lamps represent light. We are called to be a light in this world, but if we are not refined, our light is tainted. The pipes represent flow. God desires to flow through us, but if the previous steps are not met, this will not happen.

Finally, the olive trees represent being planted and fruitful. This has been a season where the enemy has tried to remove you from the place that God planted you. Remain planted and bear fruit until the times comes that God Himself moves you. He then goes on to say that Zerubbabel will finish what he started by the power of the Holy Spirit, and that mountains will become plains because of greater grace. I believe we are entering into a season of greater grace and That Himself is stepping in to fight our battles for us. Do not grow weary in this season.

Stand still and watch God move. Your faithfulness to stand will arrange a funeral for your mountains. That which has stood before you, will stand no more. Whatever the Lord has had you to start, you will finish!
