Surfing on the website to google the definition of two olive trees and the lampstand, I found another verse related to this verse in Revelation: "And I will give power to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy one 1260 days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lamp stands standing before the God of the earth." (Rev 11:3-4)
After some thoughts, I realized that it sounds like a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal to me when surfing the websites had led me into more prophets clinged to this original verse. Although they are prophetically, there's no point for us to look at those prophets if we didn't apply those words of prophet to our lives. How can we continue to look through those prophets without making them sounds like a noisy gong or clanging cymbal?
"And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." - 1 Cor 13:2
Let us ask ourselves this questions: "Do we learn the Words and apply them as we sow the right seed of love rather than of the power of influence or of knowledge beside the Lampstand, so that we may grow as tender and long-lived as a olive tree?"
Fact: Olive trees grow to 50 ft in height with a spread of about 30 ft. They are long-lived with a life expectantly of 500 years. Also those trees are easily sprouted back when even when chopped to the ground.
It amazed me at those olive trees will be able to sprout back easily even after being chopped to the ground! Will you be able to grow back in Him even when you died spiritually and physically after being through the heaviest storm ever? How may we become like those olive trees, even if we cannot be like them, we still can learn from them as we apply what we learned! Push yourself higher, even a step higher means a lot to Love.
