He'll proceed to set the Cornerstone in place, accompanied by cheers: Yes! Yes! Do it!'"

And I said, "I see a gold lamp-stand with a cup at the top and seven lamps on it. And there are seven places to hold oil, one on the top of each of the lamps. 3 There are two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the cup and the other on its left side." 4 Then I said to the angel who was speaking with me, "What are these, my lord?" 5 So the angel who was speaking with me said, "Do you not know what these are?" And I said, "No, my lord." 6 Then he said to me, "This is the Word of the Lord to Zerubbabel saying, ‘Not by strength nor by power, but by My Spirit,' says the Lord of All. 7 ‘What are you, O great mountain? In front of Zerubbabel you will become a plain. Then he will bring out the top stone and call out, "May God give it loving-favor!"'" 8 Also the Word of the Lord came to me saying, 9 "Zerubbabel's hands have laid the first stones of this house, and his hands will finish it. Then you will know that the Lord of All has sent me to you. 10 Who has hated the day of small things? Men will be glad when they see Zerubbabel building the walls of the Lord's house. These seven are the eyes of the Lord which travel over all the earth."

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me,.... Either to upbraid him with his ignorance and stupidity; or rather to quicken his attention, and that of others, to the interpretation of it he was about to give him:
Knowest thou not what these be? art thou ignorant of the design of them? or knowest thou not what is meant by them?
and I said, No, my lord; he made an ingenuous confession of his ignorance, joined with great respect unto, and veneration of, the angel that conversed with him.
