Yahuah commanded a lampstand of beaten gold with seven lamps (Exod 25:31-40), fed with pure olive oil the people brought, to burn continually before Him (Exod 27:20-21; Lev 24:2-4). Zechariah saw a golden lampstand fed by olive trees: "Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith Yahuah" (Zech 4:2-6). In Revelation 1:12-20 the seven golden lampstands are the assemblies in the Holy Place, and Yahushua walks among them as High Priest, trimming or removing a lamp gone dark. The two witnesses' lampstands (11:4) are the same visible testimony. A lampstand holds light it does not produce: the source is Yahuah; the Son and His assemblies are bearers.
