Zechariah 4 brings encouragement for the rebuilding of the temple which will be accomplished by God's help: "Not by might, nor by strength, but by my spirit, says the Lord Almighty... who despises the day of small things?". This message comes from the vision of the gold lampstand and 2 Olive trees. "What are you? O mighty mountain (of challenges and difficulties)? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground". Thus he and all the returned exiles were encouraged that by God's strength the work of the temple would be completed.
