How many Churches are addressed in the Book of Revelations?

"The mystery of the seven stars which 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 which you saw are the seven churches." (Revelation 1:20). Seven is the Biblical number of completion. These 7 churches were on an ancient mail route that the Apostle Paul visited and began the Church of God in each. The lampstands represent 'light' which is Christ's word in these Churches. They also represent 'Church Eras' leading up to the 2nd Coming of Christ. The final two of these Eras are Philadelphia and Laodicean which some believe we are now living in these times.


What do the seven candlesticks in the Bible represent?

"...I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS[lampstands]; and in the midst of the SEVEN CANDLESTICKS One like unto the Son of Man [Jesus Christ]... And He had in his right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a twoedged Sword: and His countenance [face] was as the sun shineth in his strength." (Rev.1:12-16)The Bible clearly reveals at the outset of this chapter, that this book is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST [NOT 'THE REVELATION OF SAINT JOHN THE DIVINE' as early renditions of the King James Version subtitles this book]:It's the Revelation of Jesus Christ: "...which God [the Father] GAVE TO HIM, to shew his servants [God's Faithful followers -- His 'called-out-ones -- His church] things which must shortly come to pass..." (Rev.1:1)."...and He [Jesus Christ] sent and SIGNIFIED [made it known; communicated] it BY HIS ANGEL unto HIS SERVANT JOHN." (same verse)And John: "...turned to see the voice [from the angel who bore Christ's message to John] that spake with me. And being turned, I saw SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS[lampstands]; and in the midst of the SEVEN CANDLESTICKS [lampstands] One like unto THE SON OF MAN [Jesus Christ]..." (verses 12-13).So, this is JESUS CHRIST'S INTERPRETATION OF THE"SEVEN LAMPSTANDS":"The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand, and the SEVEN GOLDEN CANDLESTICKS[lampstands]. The seven stars are the angles of the seven churches: and the SEVEN CANDLESTICKS[lampstands] which thou sawest are THE SEVEN CHURCHES." (Rev.1:20)Jesus Christ is CENTRAL TO... and STANDS IN THE MIDST OF HIS CHURCH [GOD'S WIFE: amid those whom His Father is calling out of the world, to teach and preach His Word]. He is the Living, Guiding, Ruling Leader of His church sitting at the Right Hand of His Father in heaven."For the Husband is THE HEAD OF THE WIFE, EVEN AS CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF THE CHURCH: and He is the Saviour of the Body. Therefore as the church is SUBJECT UNTO CHRIST, so let the wives be to their own husbands IN EVERYTHING." (Eph.5:23-24)"This is a great mystery: but I SPEAK CONCERNING CHRIST AND THE CHURCH." (verse 32)

How do the Seven Churches of Asia in Revelation relate to the churches you have today?

ANSWER:The seven churches of Asia are the seven periods of church history before Jesus returns.Revelation:1:19-2019: Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;20: The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.Jesus clearly says that John would write the things he had seen(past),and the things that are(present),and the things which shall be(future) right before he goes on to speak of the churches.We currently live in the last period which is the Laodicean church.For further study,please read the book(which I have provided a link to)"Daniel and the Revelation"by Uriah Smith.


What book in the Bible describes how Jesus will look like when he comes back from Heaven?

Revelation, when John talks about Jesus that shines with bronze and etc. ==== The above is true and there's more. Just to expand a bit. The last book of of the bible is called The Revelation of Jesus. The apostle John is the writer. It is important to understand that Jesus is now "glorified," meaning He has taken on the glory He had before He came to earth. However, He is now united with His human body, and, as such, His glorification is as spirit and as human. Those who now trust Christ Jesus will have an appearance very similar to this when they join Him in heaven. Christ's glorified body is nearly impossible to view with human eyes due to His brightness, as is also ascribed to some appearances of angels throughout scripture. However, He allowed Himself to be seen vividly by John and to have His appearance shared with His followers. Revelation 1 offers a description of Christ now glorified: 12 Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands; 13 and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire. 15 His feet were like burnished bronze, when it has been made to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

What do 7 candles mean?

Roman Catholic AnswerSeven candles are used in a Pontifical High Mass celebrated by the Ordinary (the Bishop of wherever the Mass is being celebrated) or the Holy Father (the Pope). There are six candles in the ordinary arrangement with a seven, slightly higher, and near the center by the crucifix. There are several different meanings which have been attributed to them: 1) There were seven candles on the menorah2) In The Shape of the Liturgy by Dix, he says that the 7 candles might have been inspired by the account in the Apocalypse (The book of Revelation) to "give a Christian turn to the old secular emblem. The bishop is the earthly representative of Christ as the Eucharist is the earthly manifestation of heavenly worship and the adaptation would easily suggest itself."3) Atchley says, "The number of the seven candles borne before the Pope was probably derived from the Book of the Revelation. One cannot help noticing a similarly between the heavenly worship therein described and parts of the ceremonial of solemn Mass at Rome. We are told of a 'throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne...And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book': and under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God/Angels and the elect clothed in white robes' stand about the throne , singing to God and the Lamb.4) The number seven also play in with the original seven ecclesiastical "districts" linked to Pope St. Fabian. they had seven bishops, deacons, and subdeacons.5) In the commentaries of the Middle Ages it was common to link them to Temple worship, or with the "sevenfold" priestly virtue" or the seven angels or the Holy Spirit and his seven gifts. taken from the Catholic Answers forum
