Welcome to Echoes From the Lampstand — a podcast devoted to the clear, reverent proclamation of God’s Word.

In Episode 3 of Echoes from the Lampstand, we continue our journey through Revelation by exploring Revelation 1:4–8 and the powerful introduction to the seven churches.

Building on the foundation that Revelation is the unveiling of Jesus Christ—communicated through symbols and signs—this episode examines the significance of the number seven as a symbol of completeness. The seven churches represent not merely seven local congregations, but the complete Church throughout the Gospel Day. We also consider the seven Spirits as the fullness of the one Holy Spirit working across every era.

The episode highlights Christ as the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth—showing how believers are made kings and priests unto God, called to reign in life through His grace. From the establishment of the New Covenant to the promise of Christ’s visible return in the clouds, Revelation 1 bridges the morning and evening of the Gospel Day.

Through rich biblical imagery—clouds, trumpets, winds, and fire—we see God’s glory, His gathering call, the exposure of false systems, and the certainty of final judgment. The episode closes with the triumphant declaration: “I am Alpha and Omega… the Almighty,” reminding us that God reigns over past, present, and future.

From beginning to end, Christ is in control, His Church belongs to Him, and His plan unfolds perfectly through time.

In this second episode, we begin laying the foundation for understanding the Book of Revelation by examining its opening words: “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” What does “revelation” truly mean? Is this book meant to be hidden, mysterious, and unknowable — or unveiled and understood?

We explore the meaning of apokalypsis — an uncovering, an unveiling — and establish that Revelation is not a sealed book to God’s people, but a divine disclosure given to His servants. Spiritual truth does not come through human intellect, academic method, or tradition, but through the Spirit of God to those with a right heart.

Drawing from Isaiah 29, Matthew 11, 1 Corinthians 2, and Romans 16, we show that divine revelation is given to the humble, the “babes in Christ,” and hidden from the wise and prudent who rely on human understanding. We also introduce the structure of Revelation as a running prophetic history of the Church throughout the Gospel Day — symbolic in language, yet clear in meaning to those walking in the Spirit.

This episode establishes the time scope, the symbolic nature, and the divine origin of the book, preparing us to move verse by verse through Revelation 1.

Keep your lamp trimmed and burning.
