Iy signifies that Christ is the Head of the church. We must look to Jesus, and He will lead us in all our endeavors.

When I picture this in my head, I see the lampstand revolving around Christ who is in the center, feet planted firmly her on earth giving us a strong foundation, head in heaven, our mediator, our champion. Jesus as the carpenter/teacher was a humble human,commanding no preferential treatment asking only that we listen and believe. He represents both ends of the scale. Awe, love, respect,and more. Though He is the Alpha and the Omega, God loves us enough to humble Himself and come to us as a lowly carpenter, a commoner, to suffer on the cross to absolve us of all sin.

There are many countries, too many to list, where Christians face persecution for their beliefs. A few that come to mind are Turkey, China, Iran, and Iraq. The Book of Revelation can comfort and encourage them by letteing them know they are not alone, that Christians have been facing persecution from the beginning but the time will come when Christianity will reign supreme.

It tells us that God is the One and Only, there are no other gods but Him. It signifies that Jesus is God, one part of the Trinity

It is necessay to stay strong and be true to our fath. Jesus remained true no matter what His circumstances and we are to follow His example. Though here in this country we aren't persecuted, se still face ridicule and hate. We seem to care more about what others think of us than remaining true to Christ
