    To the ANGEL of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who
  •  holds the seven STARS in his RIGHT HAND and
This is part of the vision John saw in the first chapter (Revelation 1:16). The right hand denotes the hand of power and authority.
  • walks among the seven GOLDEN LAMPSTANDS:
This, too, is where John's vision in chapter 1 opens with "one like a son of Man" in the midst of the lampstands (Revelation 1:11). The fact that He walks among the golden lampstands verifies that these really do exist and may be removed (Revelation 2:5).
