The book of Revelation has described by some as hard to understand. However, with careful study it is found that the Bible answers many of the symbols one can find confusing in this book. In chapter one, the Apostle John describes a vision in which he saw seven candlesticks with someone walking among them. What do these candlesticks represent, who is the one walking among them, and what is the significance?
In Revelation 1:11, John is instructed to write in a book and send it to seven specific churches. Those churches are identified as Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea, which were in Asia Minor. The seven candlesticks which John saw are clearly identified as the seven churches in Revelation 1:20.
