Numbers 8:1-4 (ESV Strong's)
1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, When you set up the lamps, the seven lamps shall give light in front of the lampstand.” 3 And Aaron did so: he set up its lamps in front of the lampstand, as the Lord commanded Moses. 4 And this was the workmanship of the lampstand, hammered work of gold. From its base to its flowers, it was hammered work; according to the pattern that the Lord had shown Moses, so he made the lampstand.
The seven churches in Revelation represent the lamps that gave light outside the Holy of Holies in the tabernacle. Their light illuminates the way of the Lord.
The Lord gave Moses the pattern for the lampstand and Jesus tells the churches in. Revelation the pattern of life He expects from the living lampstands. The tabernacle was a physical manifestation of the word of God and things to come.
