Greetings Doves,
Seeing the complete menorah in Pentecost
Candlestick Strong's G3087 - lychnia1) a (candlestick) lamp stand, candelabrumLamps Strong's G2985 - lampas1) a torch2) a lamp, the flame of which is fed with oil
Candle Strong's G3088 - lychnos1) a lamp, candle, that is placed on a stand or candlestick
The menorah is complete when the 7 lamps are set and burning on top of the candlesticks ( lampstand ) just like the saying of Jesus.Mat 5:15 Neither do men light a candle3088,( lamp ) and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick ( Lampstand ); and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
with this study I see the complete menorah before the seals are opened in heaven having the lampstand and lamps together.
Rev 1:20 The seven candlesticks3087 which thou sawest are the seven churches.Rev 4:5 Seven lamps2985 of fire burning before the throne, are the seven Spirits of God
this menorah design reminds me of pentecost when the apostles ( Lamp stand the 7 churches ) on the bottom and received the Holy Spirit and it was seen on top of them as cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.This imagery reallylooks like a complete menorah, fire and lamps on top of the lamp stand which is on the bottom which happened on Pentecost and the Menorah imagery looks complete before the seals are opened in heaven, just maybe on Pentecost the menorah will be complete.
Acts 2 (KJV)1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
So to recap the lamps are the 7 Spirits of God and the Lampstand is the church, and lamps are set on thecandlesticks ( lamp stand ) Luke 8:16John sees seven candlesticks which are the 7 churches in heaven before the seals are opened in Rev 1, and later he sees seven lamps burning before the throne of God Rev 4:5, and where again are lamps set according to Jesus, on top of the lampstand which is the church. When did this imagery happened last on Pentecost.
Rev 4:5And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and [there were] seven lamps2985 of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Mat 25:1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps2985, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
Luke 8:16No man, when he hath lighted a candle3088, covereth it with a vessel, or putteth [it] under a bed; but setteth [it] on a candlestick3087, that they which enter in may see the light.
