Zechariah 4:6

Not by might, &c. This is the teaching of the vision, its message from Jehovah to Zerubbabel. Fed "without hands" (Daniel 2:34) with oil the lamp in the vision shone brightly. So without the resources of human "might and power," which to "these feeble Jews" (Nehemiah 4:2) were altogether wanting, but by the "Spirit" of Jehovah, of which the oil was a symbol, should the Church shine yet again on Mount Sion, and eventually as the Church of Christ throughout the world.
