[12] And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves? [13] And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord. [14] Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
Romans 11:17
And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among them, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree;
The olive tree in the good land represents the Holy Spirit and the anointing oil. In Zechariah 4:12-14, the olive trees supply oil to the lampstand, symbolizing the Spirit’s flow for the Church’s shining testimony.

To live in the good land is to abide in the Spirit’s rich anointing, allowing Him to flow through us for God’s purpose.
