1Then the LORD said to Moses, 2“Speak to Aaron and tell him: ‘When you set up the seven lamps, they are to light the area in front of the lampstand.’ ”
3And Aaron did so; he set up the lamps facing toward the front of the lampstand, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
4This is how the lampstand was constructed: it was made of hammered gold from its base to its blossoms, fashioned according to the pattern the LORD had shown Moses.
Revelation 1: 20This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Lamps
The seven lampstands represent the seven churches that John was asked to write about in Revelation 2 and 3. The number seven is repeated throughout the Bible.
Years ago my sister gave me a old fashioned glass kerosene lamp with a wick that was our great grandfathers but it was missing the chimney. We have several power outages a year and our battery lamp had recently died. I went to the Salvation Army store and they had several glass chimneys and I picked the oldest looking one for a dollar and went to the hardware and purchased some low smoke kerosene. We now have an emergency lamp for light.
“The Bible is not the light of the world, it is the light of the Church. But the world does not read the Bible, the world reads Christians! “You are the light of the world.”
(Spurgeon)
Are you His light (lamp)?
Blessings
