Those are two different words in the Hebrew, not just the singular and the plural of the same word, even if they both get translated the same somehow.
Zechariah 3 mentions that God would eventually bring forth his servant the Branch. Then Zechariah 4 describes the Branches plural.
I think you are engaging in some reverse interpretation from Revelation's use of this imagery in its description of the two witnesses.
Essentially the Branches are the Lord's personal assistants.
Any special reason why you think that? Other than just more projecting your sense that something hasn't been fulfilled yet and that it somehow has to be, in a literal way.
Between verse 12 and 13 there is an apparent gap of several thousand years.
That is a fairly common word used in the Old Testament and does not usually mean a god, or son of god.
And he calls him Lord.
I don't see how making an oath or whatever serves to identify the person.
Then that would make this guy the Son of Man. The other half of the Godhead.
