The Angel Of The Church - Revelation 2:1

Revelation 2:1 

“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.

The angels of the seven churches could be the presence of the Lord in these seven churches, as in the Isaiah passage. It is the Lord who holds the churches in His hand and walks among us. He is with us, for we have the Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of truth who will never leave us as orphans, but will remain. The letters come through the Spirit of Christ and Christ is speaking. 

Isaiah 63:8-9 ESV 

For he said, “Surely they are my people,
children who will not deal falsely.”
And he became their Savior.
In all their affliction he was afflicted,
and the angel of his presence saved them;
in his love and in his pity he redeemed them;
he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
