I turned to discern the voice that spoke to me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the middle of the lampstands was some One Who appeared as the Son of Man, clothed with a robe reaching down to His feet, and with a golden sash around His chest
(Revelation 1:12-13).

His head and His hairs were white like wool- as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire
(Revelation 1:14).

His feet were like glowing brass- as if they had been refined in a furnace. His voice was like the roar of rushing waters
(Revelation 1:15).

Are there any Bible scriptures that might help us understand these verses here in Revelation? In my opinion I think so-


Revelation 1:12-13
I turned to discern the voice that spoke to me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the middle of the lampstands was some One Who appeared as the Son of Man, clothed with a robe reaching down to His feet, and with a golden sash around His chest.


Seven Golden Lampstands

The seven lampstands (Revelation 1:13) represent seven churches
(Revelation 1:20). God mentions golden lampstands in several scrolls of Revelation:

They are revealed three times in Revelation Scroll Number One-
He mentions them twice in the above verses and also in this one-
God tells us one meaning of the symbolism of the seven golden lampstands-
...the mystery of the seven golden lampstands...the seven lampstands are seven churches
(Revelation 1:20).

They are also revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Two-
...He Who walks in the middle of the seven golden lampstands (Revelation 2:1).

I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place- unless you repent
(Revelation 2:5).

They are also revealed in Revelation Scroll Number Nine-
...seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne...(Revelation 4:5).

These are the...two lampstands that stand in the presence of the Lord of the earth
(Revelation 11:4).

Lampstands are also revealed in other scrolls of the holy Bible. Here are a select few-

Then make the seven lamps for the lampstand, and set them so they reflect their light forward. The lamp snuffers and trays must also be made of pure gold. You will need seventy-five pounds of pure gold for the lampstand and its accessories
(Exodus 25:37-39).

You shall bring in the table and arrange the things that are to be set in order on it- and you shall bring in the lampstand and light its lamps
(Exodus 40:4).

He put the lampstand in the tabernacle of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle- and he lit the lamps before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses
(Exodus 40:24-25).

Then the angel who had been talking with me returned and woke me, as though I had been asleep. What do you see now? he asked. I answered- I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl of oil on top of it. Around the bowl are seven lamps, each one having seven spouts with wicks. And I see two olive trees, one on each side of the bowl. Then I asked the angel- what are these, my lord? What do they mean? Do not you know? the angel asked. No, my lord, I replied. Then he said to me- this is what the Lord says to Zerubbabel- It is not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. Nothing, not even a mighty mountain, will stand in Zerubbabel's way- it will flatten out before him! Then Zerubbabel will set the final stone of the Temple in place, and the people will shout- may God bless it! May God bless it. Then another message came to me from the Lord- Zerubbabel is the one who laid the foundation of this Temple, and he will complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me. Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel's hand. For these seven lamps represent the eyes of the Lord that search all around the world
(Zechariah 4:1-10).

You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in Heaven
(Matthew 5:14-16).

Also He said to them- is a lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Is it not to be set on a lampstand? For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light
(Mark 4:21-22).

No one, when he has lit a lamp, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him more will be given- and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will be taken from him
(Luke 8:16-18).

No one, when he has lit a lamp, puts it in a secret place or under a basket, but on a lampstand, that those who come in may see the light. The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness. Therefore take heed that the light that is in you is not darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light
(Luke 11:33-36).


The Son of Man

This divine title of the Lord Jesus Christ is revealed in the scrolls of Revelation. Look what He has on.

The prophet, Daniel, saw the Son of Man-
As my vision continued that night, behold, I saw the Son of Man come with the clouds of Heaven. He came to the Ancient of Days and was given authority, honor, and royal power over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey Him. His rule is eternal- it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed
(Daniel 7:13)...on April 23, as I was standing beside the great Tigris River, I looked up and saw a certain man dressed in linen clothing, with a belt of pure gold around His waist. His body looked like a dazzling gem. From His face came flashes like lightning, and His eyes were like flaming torches. His arms and feet shone like polished bronze, and His voice was like the roaring of a vast multitude of people. I, Daniel, am the only one who saw this vision. The men with me saw nothing, but they were suddenly terrified and ran away to hide. So I was left there all alone to watch this amazing vision...
(Daniel 10:4-8).

(Amos 9:8).

For who has despised the day of small things? For these seven rejoice to see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel. They are the eyes of the Lord, that scan to and fro throughout the whole earth
