I said, “Sir, what are these horses for?” Then the angel speaking to me said, “I will show you what these horses are for.”
The angel who was talking to me went outside and said, “Look! What do you see coming?”
Then the angel who was speaking to me left, and another angel went out to talk to him.
So I asked the angel who was talking with me, “What do these horns mean?” He said, “These are the horns that forced the people of Israel, Judah, and Jerusalem to go to foreign countries.”
Then I said to him, “I saw one olive tree on the right side of the lampstand and one on the left side. What do those two olive trees mean?”
I went to someone who was standing there and asked him what all this meant. So he explained it to me.
The angel of God spoke to me in that dream. The angel said, ‘Jacob!’ “I answered, ‘Yes!’
Then the Lord answered the angel who was talking with me. He spoke good, comforting words.
Then the angel who was talking to me returned and woke me up. I was like a person waking up from sleep.
