Discover the Hidden Symbolism of the 7 Golden Candlesticks in Revelation
The 7 Churches of Revelation: Unveiling the Mysteries of the Organigram of God
In this exploration of the organizational structure of God, the symbolism of the seven golden candlesticks emerges as a beacon of understanding. It reveals a universe guided by an intricate hierarchy of celestial beings, working in harmony to fulfill the divine plan. As we delve further into this enigma, we are invited to contemplate the grandeur of a celestial organization that surpasses human imagination. The journey has only just begun, and with each step, we uncover more layers of meaning that deepen our connection to the divine.
Since the dawn of history, mankind has been captivated by the enigmatic workings of the divine creator. Questions have arisen about whether the creator operates individually, steering every aspect of existence, or if there exists a celestial organization, complete with a structured hierarchy of celestial beings, to execute the divine will. This exploration into the organizational structure of God delves deep into the symbolism of the seven golden candlesticks, unraveling their profound significance.
Unveiling the Symbolism: The Seven Golden Candlesticks and Their Profound Meanings
The journey into the mysteries of the celestial hierarchy begins with the intriguing symbolism of the seven golden candlesticks. These candlesticks, often referred to as the “Seven Churches of Revelation,” hold profound spiritual meanings that shed light on the inner workings of the divine plan.
These seven candlesticks, as described in the Book of Revelation, are a representation of the seven churches to which messages were sent by Jesus represented by an angel to the apostle John. However, their symbolism transcends mere historical context, offering insights into the broader structure of God’s celestial realm.
The Keys and Functions of the Seven Candlesticks: Illuminating the Universal Church of God
The essence of the Universal Church of God, intricately tied to the symbolism of the seven candlesticks, holds keys to understanding the divine hierarchy. Delving into the historical roots, we find that these candlesticks made their debut in the sacred tabernacle during Israel’s wilderness wanderings, dating back to 1445 to 1446 BC. This historical perspective unveils a timeline far older than Israel itself, underscoring the timeless nature of the celestial organizational structure.
Ancient Origins: Tracing the Path to the Golden Candlesticks
Before the candlesticks graced the tabernacle, their existence traced back through ancient civilizations and cultures. The concept of divine hierarchy was not confined to a single faith or era, but rather was a universal understanding among various societies. From ancient Egypt’s reverence for the sun god Ra to the intricate pantheons of Greek and Roman mythologies, vestiges of a celestial organizational framework echoed across time. However, Israel is the flag bearer God chose, purely from a time tested best practices in human husbandry. This will be handled in a different article.
The Cosmic Choreography: Decoding the Hierarchy of Workers
Just as a grand symphony requires various musicians to harmonize in perfect unison, the celestial hierarchy involves an intricate choreography of divine workers. Each candlestick represents a distinctive function within the heavenly order, working cohesively to bring forth the divine plan. From archangels orchestrating cosmic events to guardian angels guiding individual destinies, the hierarchy showcases a unity that transcends human comprehension.
Beyond Space and Time: The Eternal Relevance of the Organigram of God
The mysteries concealed within the symbolism of the seven candlesticks transcend the limitations of space and time. These symbols encapsulate an eternal truth, resonating across ages and dimensions. Just as the light from a distant star continues to shine long after its source has faded, the organizational structure of God persists, guiding the universe with unwavering wisdom.
On May 14, 1946, when the state of Israel was formed, they adopted the seven golden candlesticks as their official emblem. Remember, God ordered Moses to make this lampstand of seven golden candlesticks of beaten metalwork.
The 7 golden candlesticks of Revelation
It was made between 1446BC and 1445BC of pure gold, and placed in his tabernacle, to give light to it.
Exodus 25:31 And thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold: of beaten work shall the candlestick be made: his shaft, and his branches, his bowls, his knops, and his flowers, shall be of the same.
What does it mean? Is this the mystery of God?
The aim of this post is to explain the hidden meaning of the seven golden candlesticks, the official emblem of the state of Israel as the organizational structure of God.

Let us use the letter to the first church, Ephesus, to decode the meanings of each of the churches or branches of God.
Let’s read it out in full.
Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
What can you make out of this letter? Here is a template of five themes embodied within each letter to the seven churches, that you can use to decode the hidden meanings and symbols of the seven golden candlesticks, the universal church of God.
The five themes for decoding the functions of each church as an organ of God using Ephesus as an example are:
Theme 1. Christ addresses the head of the branch of God who will in turn address his subordinates.
Theme 2. The codes which give the clues and standards of the nature and work of the branch of God:
Theme 3. Christ’s Supervisory Report contains praises as well as displeasures.
Theme 4: Personnel Development. The nature of the development or evolution level of the members of the church or branch of God.
Theme 5: God’s reward to the members of the church at the end of the age
Of course, there are sub-themes in between these themes as you will soon find out.
HIDDEN MEANING OF THE CODES OF EPHESUS
Let’s begin by separating the letter into its themes or sections.
THEME 1. CHRIST ADDRESSES THE HEAD OF THE BRANCH OF GOD.
Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write. This head angel then communicates God’s report to his subordinates.
THEME 2. THE CODES WHICH GIVE THE CLUES TO THE NATURE AND WORK OF THIS BRANCH OF GOD:
These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
1. THIS CHURCH IS A SUPERVISORY BODY
He that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, means this branch of God ‘’holds’’ the other branches of God including itself accountable for their actions. This is a supervisory role or function.
2. THIS CHURCH IS A COORDINATING BODY
Who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; Midst means centre, the heart, or core. Therefore, the word midst implies that this is a coordinating body of the seven branches of God.
Many people call angels messengers because of the coordinating function of this branch of God. Angels from this branch of God are the most visible to humans when they not only come to inform us of God’s plans but coordinate his activities as well.
Can you now recollect any angel from the church of Ephesus? Give us your opinion. What about angel Gabriel, the angel who came to inform the Virgin Mary about God’s plan, and how the saviour will be born through her?
Where else in the Bible do you find angels that come to inform and coordinate God’s work among humans? Comment down below.
3. THIS CHURCH IS AN EXAMINATION AND TESTING BODY
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
‘’And thou hast tried them’’ means this is a testing body responsible for examining and weighing individuals on the scales or standards of God.
THEME 3. CHRIST’S SUPERVISORY REPORT.
This is a job assessment, an on-the-job appraisal covering thousands of years, usually at the start or end of an age. This one marks the beginning of the age of repentance for the forgiveness of misdeeds.
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches;
This job assessment marks the beginning of the age, the New Testament for repentance for the remission of sins.
The Christ supervisory report normally has three components or parts. Part one: an approval or commendation, part two: a rebuke or disapproval, and Part three, the consequences of continued disobedience.
Let us consider this now for Ephesus.
SUB THEME A: APPROVAL, PRAISES
2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
SUB THEME B: DISAPPROVAL, DISPLEASURE!
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
Some angels left their first love in Genesis 6.
SUB THEME C: THE RETRIBUTION IF UNREPENTANT
5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
Those who fail to abide by God’s instructions will be removed from this church: “or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent’’.
THEME 4: NATURE OF THE DEVELOPMENT OR EVOLUTION LEVEL OF THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH OR BRANCH OF GOD.
Each church has a membership development level. It is clear that Ephesus is only made up of perfected humans or angels. Let us see why this is true using this passage.
4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
ADVANCEMENT LEVEL OF EPHESUS MEMBERS.
The clue to discover the development level of the members of this branch of God can be gotten by comparing the records of the fallen angels as stated in the Bible. let’s begin with Revelation: Because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen and repent and do the first works.
Let us compare this with that in the book of Jude 1:6 And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.
Let us also align that with that of the fallen angels who left their work, their first love, and intermarried with the daughters of the earth during the time of Noah. These angels produced the giant race known as the Nephilim as recorded in Genesis 6.
Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. 3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years. 4 There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Therefore, only angels and perfected members of the human race worship in this church or branch of God!

THEME 5: GOD’S REWARD TO THE MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH AT THE END OF THE AGE
7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
The Tree of Life: An image to stand for the promised immortality for the perfected humans at the end of this age.
God rewards the perfected human members of this church with the tree of life thus re-entering the garden of God and regaining immortality which we lost in Eden. This fulfils the aim of God’s salvation plan in Christ.
Let’s now unravel God’s plan of rapture into his universal mansions, the seven churches.
GOD’S PLAN FOR THE SEVEN BRANCHES OF GOD HEREIN CALLED THE SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS
All of mankind’s work fall within these seven golden candlesticks.
The 7 branches of God into which all creation belong.
Therefore, all worthy members of the human race will be raptured into these churches depending on their level of development and branch of service.
The 7 churches of Rapture and the human professions
It is my sincere hope that anyone who watches this video or reads the blog will be able to align the codes of his profession and work in line with the branch of God or church he falls into. This simple action aligns us with the overall aim of God’s work.
Therefore, as you watch this video, be sure to identify the church under which your profession or occupation falls and use their code of ethics as guidelines for your work. This is the way to the kingdom of God. This is your church of rapture!
With the above guidelines in view, let us now have a spiritual look at the essence of the seven golden candlesticks, the seven churches of Asia Minor. These are the branches of God’s service. It is the mystery of God, the organigram of God. But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. Revelation 10:7.
With this insight on how to decode the hidden symbols of the seven churches of God, let us now continue our study of the ethics of the seven mansions of God. Let’s begin with the first church Ephesus, in the next post EPHESUS| Exploring the Hidden Secrets of the Ancient Church of Ephesus.
If you enjoyed reading this blog post, don’t forget to recommend it to others. Please share this post to help others discover the spiritual meaning of the 7 churches of God. With this, everyone will align with their churches of Rapture and live by the code of ethics to reap the promise of God. This is our goal.
