“Oil for the light” (Exodus 25:6).

Oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In Matthew 25:13 we see that we must keep our vessels filled, and our lights burning, as we wait for the coming of the Bridegroom.

In Ephesians 5:18 we are commanded to be “filled with the Spirit.” We have seen that, in the Holy Place, the outer portion, there were three pieces of furniture. On the south side was the golden candlestick having seven branches.

In Zechariah 4, the prophet was made to see in a vision a golden candlesticks being fed continually with oil from two living olive trees (verses 2,3 and 12). The angels of God said to him: ‘ My work cannot be done by human minds or human power, but only by my Spirit’ (verse 6). Through the seven lamps burning day and night in the Sanctuary, God was saying to His people: ‘My work can be done in one way only: not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.’ How clearly and beautifully God was speaking.

God says ‘Remember: I have made you to be like a candlestick of pure gold, that My light should shine upon all people, that men may know My greatness and glory.’ So these two olive trees speak of a faithful, loyal and true testimony. If you will read Genesis 8:11 and Psalm 52:8, you will see that the olive tree speaks of God’s mercy and grace. Through the olive trees God was saying to Zechariah, ‘Go and proclaim my message of grace everywhere. Even though I must judge sin, my mercy and grace must never fail or change.’

Unless you shine like golden lamps, burning beautifully day and night, you will never be able to manifest God’s glory. That was the main message of the candlestick. We are to shine as lights of God, burning with the living oil of God’s Spirit. All the seven lamps were of one piece and speak of true oneness among God’s children.
