“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.”
As for the mystery of the seven stars that 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 are the seven churches — the interpretive key clarifies the symbolic register: stars represent angelic guardians or representatives of each church, and lampstands represent the churches themselves. The mystery (mystērion) language indicates a divinely unveiled secret.
