1. Zech 4,2ff. is a vision of the two olive trees which
mark the gate of the light and in the gate: “Behold a
candlestick all of gold, with a bowl at its top and his
seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven
lamps..”.
The next picture shows the gate of the sun marked
out by two very different trees. The gate of the sun is
the primordial mountain split into duality. Because
the two trees are a sign of duality they are marked out
as opposites.
