Revelation 1:20
The mystery of the seven stars. The Lord himself at once explains
what the seven stars and seven candlesticks symbolize. The seven
candlesticks represent the churches, or organizations appointed to "let
their light shine" (Matthew 5:16) and become "the light of the world"
(Revelation 5:14).
And the seven stars are the angels of the churches. These were, I
think, the evangelists of the churches.
