God’s people are to be channels for the outworking of the highest influence in the universe. In Zechariah’s vision the two olive trees which stand before God are represented as emptying the golden oil out of themselves through golden tubes into the bowl of the sanctuary. From this the lamps of the sanctuary are fed, that they may give a continuous bright and shining light. So from the anointed ones that stand in God’s presence the fullness of divine light and love and power is imparted to His people, that they may impart to others light and joy and refreshing. They are to become channels through which divine instrumentalities communicate to the world the tide of God’s love. {6T 11.4}

Guds folk skal være redskaber, gennem hvilke de højeste indflydelser i universet virker. Ifølge fremstillingen i Zakarias syn udgår der gylden olie fra de to olietræer, som står for Guds åsyn og flyder gennem guldrør ned i helligdommens oliekar. Fra dette forsynes helligdommens lamper, for at (12) disse uafbrudt kan give et klart og skinnende lys. Fra de salvede, som står for Guds åsyn, bliver således fylden af lys, kærlighed og kraft fra Gud meddelt hans folk, for at de må kunne meddele lys og glæde og vederkvægelse til andre. De skal være kanaler, gennem hvilke guddommelige redskaber lader Guds kærligheds strøm tilflyde verden.
