WHAT SIMBOLIZES THE GOLDEN CANDLE?
Hello friends of this great community, this time I want to talk a little about the meaning of the golden candlestick according to the word of GOD. I hope you enjoy it and it will be helpful for your knowledge. GOD BLESS YOU!
The Golden Candelabra
The seven candlesticks form the seven-branched candelabrum of the Holy Place. However, the image that John sees is not earthly, that is, he does not look at the Holy Place of the temple in Jerusalem, but that of the heavenly temple, which, as the Law teaches us, was used as a model by Moses. to erect the Tabernacle and later by Solomon to erect the Temple.

And they will make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in their midst. According to everything I show you, the design of the tabernacle and the design of all your utensils, you will do it. (Exodus 25: 8-9)
The candlestick was in front of the ark, which represented the throne of God in heaven (because the ark of the covenant is a throne). And before the throne they burned seven lamps of fire, which are the seven spirits of God. Revelation 4: 5
The Holy Spirit of God is the flame that burns in the candelabrum. It is a single flame divided into seven bodies united by the oil that passes through them.
The central body is the Lord Jesus Christ and the six branches represent his congregation.
The seven bodies that make up the candelabrum symbolize the following:
six of them represent the human, since 6 is a number that represents man, since man was created on the sixth day of creation (Genesis 1: 26-31 / Revelation 13): 18) The seventh, in the center, represents Jesus Christ as the immortal Master (Matthew 23: 8). United to Christ, we are seven (eternity) and without Him, we are simply six, number of finite and mortal man.
