“Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;”
To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands — each letter begins by repeating a title or image from chapter 1, establishing Christ's intimate presence and authority over the specific congregation. The image of walking among the lampstands reinforces Christ as the living Lord who surveys and knows each church's condition.
