Zechariah 4:6, “Then 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 of hosts.’”
It is the great love and mercy from the Lord that generates everything we read in this fourth chapter of Zechariah. The vision of the lampstand told the Israelites that the temple would be rebuilt, that God’s presence and power would dwell among them, and that their generation would know and have the light of God again. The motto of Zechariah 4:6 assured them that they would not have to rely on their own power or strength, but that God’s Spirit would propel and sustain them far beyond what their own power could do.
