Question: What do the “stars” of the seven churches represent (Rev. 1:20²⁰The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. (Revelation 1:20))?

Answer: The “stars” of Revelation 1 and Revelation 2-3 are symbols of those who rule in the assemblies subordinately to Christ. They are called “angels,” because they represent, in the way of moral responsibility, the sphere in which they are called to act for Christ, and they are thus identified, each, with the state of the assembly in which he may be thus set.
