The 2001 Commentaries

The Lampstands of Revelation

info All commentaries are written by volunteers, readers, or supporters of our Bible translation project. These are not official views of our project; we are not a religious denomination and we do not establish doctrine. These commentaries reflect a variety of views and some disagree with each other.

Notice what was represented by the lampstands in the Revelation. Revelation 1:20 says:

‘The seven lampstands signify the seven congregations.’

So, these lampstands must picture callings or groups of Christians. And where a lampstand is spoken of as being ‘removed’ (as at Revelation 2:5), this appears to indicate that the group or gathering will be removed from its position of favor.
