God himself chose the seven-branched menorah as a symbol for his chosen people – and God also specified the design (Exodus 25:31-40). Like everything else in the original tabernacle, God designed the menorah as a physical illustration of spiritual truths.
“Your WORD is a LAMP to my feet and a LIGHT to my path” (Psalm 119,105)
- I am the LIGHT of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the LIGHT of life (John 8:12).
- I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me (John 14:6).
JESUS is the Light. The Menorah symbolizes [1.] JESUS
JESUS: he is the light of the world, because he is the love in person, the word and the savior of the world
- The HOLY SPIRIT: without the oil there is no light and no illumination
