Seven Lampstands

Home · The Book · Seven Lampstands

"To the angel of the church
of Ephesus write,

'These things says He who holds the seven stars
in His right hand, who walks in the midst
of the seven golden lampstands:
"I know your works, your labor, your patience,
and that you cannot bear those who are evil.
And you have tested those who say they are apostles
and are not, and have found them liars;
and you have persevered and have patience,
and have labored for My name's sake and
have not become weary.
Nevertheless I have this against you,
that you have left your first love.
Remember therefore from where you have fallen;
repent and do the first works,
or else I will come to you quickly and
remove your lampstand from its place-
unless you repent.
But this you have, that you hate the deeds
of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.

"He who has an ear,
let him hear
what the Spirit says
to the churches.
To him who overcomes
I will give to eat
from the tree of life,
which is in the midst
of the Paradise of God."'

Revelation 2:1-7
