“As for the mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand, and the seven golden lampstands, the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches” (Revelations 1:20)

After his resurrection, around 95 A.D, Jesus revealed many things in the book of Revelations through John the apostle. One such vision John received was about the seven Churches during that time. Jesus says, the seven stars symbolize the seven angels of the seven churches and the seven lampstands symbolize the seven churches. Thus, Jesus himself interpreted the meaning, hence there is no need of human speculation. These seven Churches were located in the seven cities of ‘Asia Minor’, the present Turkey, during the first century A.D. Moreover, these churches represent the churches of the seven time periods. Jesus gave many advices, warnings and appreciations to these churches separately. When we go through those messages, it helps us to understand their works and the issues that existed among them. Most importantly, it will be a great blessing if we read those valuable advices and warnings of Jesus Christ and live accordingly. Amen!
