[[@page.3.1.12]][[@bible.87.1.12]]!!!! 3.1.12
- Revelation [[1:12|bible.87.1.12]]
I turned to see \\ John is about to enter into the experience of many other prophets who were given a revelation of the glory of the Lord, usually near the beginning of their prophetic ministry.
We think of Moses (Ex.
[[33:22-23|bible.2.33.22-2.33.23]]; [[34:5-6|bible.2.34.5-2.34.6]]),
Ezekiel (Eze.
[[1|bible.26.1.1]]),
Isaiah (Isa.
[[6|bible.23.6.1]]),
Daniel (Dan.
[[10:5-6|bible.27.10.5-27.10.6]]), and Paul (Acts [[9:3|bible.65.9.3]]; [[22:6|bible.65.22.6]]).
John had been given a previous taste of God's glory on the Mount of Transfiguration with Peter and James (Mtt.
[[17:1|bible.61.17.1]];
Mark [[9:2|bible.62.9.2]]; Luke [[9:29|bible.63.9.29]]).1
St. John Beholding the Seven Candelabra
2 seven golden lampstands \\ The symbolism of these lampstands is explained: "the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches" (Rev.
[[1:20|bible.87.1.20]]+).
The churches /bear/ light, but are not the /source/ of light (Mtt.
[[5:14-16|bible.61.5.14-61.5.16]];
John [[1:4-5|bible.64.1.4-64.1.5]],
[[7-9|bible.64.1.7-64.1.9]];
[[5:32-35|bible.64.5.32-64.5.35]];
Eph.
[[5:11-13|bible.70.5.11-70.5.13]];
Php.
[[2:15|bible.71.2.15]]).The "/seven candlesticks/" . . .
are intended to send us back, to the seven-branched candlestick, or candelabrum, which bears ever the same name of λυχνία [lychnia] in the Septuagint (Ex.
[[25:31|bible.2.25.31]]
cf.
Heb.
[[9:2|bible.79.9.2]]); the six arms of which with the central shaft . . .
made up the mystical seven, each with its several lamp (λύχνος [lychnos] , Zec. [[4:2|bible.38.4.2]]).3
See /Interpreting Symbols/.
See symbolic meaning of seven.----
Notes
1 Interestingly, John is the only gospel writer who does not record his experience on the Mount of Transfiguration except if John [[1:14|bible.64.1.14]]
be taken as a reference to it.
