God’s Lampstands
In the book of Revelation the menorah (or lampstand) is used as a symbol to represent the Ekklesia (the church). A church is the gathering of believers designated to bring light in a specific location. This light is the fire of the Lord produced within us through the oil of the Holy Spirit. As priests of the Lord, we are supposed to keep the light of the menorah burning continually by making sure that the wicks of the lamps are properly trimmed and by ensuring that there is always oil in the lamp.
According to the seven letters given to the churches in the book of Revelation, every lampstand (or church) has different characteristic and is given specific warnings depending of it’s location. Further in the book of Revelation, in chapter 11, John makes mention of two other lampstands that have been chosen to be his witnesses in Jerusalem during the reign of the Antichrist. These two lampstands represent two different remnants that have been chosen in a specific location (Jerusalem) to move through signs and wonders in order to proclaim the gospel to the Jews.
I believe that the Lord is currently in the process of choosing these witnesses from the four corners of the earth and he will gather them in Jerusalem to preach the gospel to the Jewsih people with extreme supernatural power. I also believe that Covid, travel restrictions and the green pass were a scheme of the enemy in order to keep these witnesses from coming into the promise land to gather the last great harvest of the Lord. But today we give a shout of victory to the Lord because the schemes of the enemy have been stopped. And currently Israel’s travel restrictions are being lifted in order for God’s End Time purposes to be fulfilled!
Revelation 2:1 CJB “To the angel of the Messianic Community in Ephesus, write: ‘Here is the message from the one who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven gold menorahs. ”Revelation 1:20 CJB “20 Here is the secret meaning of the seven stars you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold menorahs: the seven stars are the angels of the seven Messianic communities, and the seven menorahs are the seven Messianic communities (Churches).”
Revelation 11:3-6 CJB 3 “Also I will give power to my two witnesses; and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.” 4 Hese are the two olive trees and the two menorahs standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone tries to do them harm, fire comes out of their mouth and consumes their enemies — yes, if anyone tries to harm them, that is how he must die. 6 They have the authority to shut up the sky, so that no rain falls during the period of their prophesying; also they have the authority to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.
