Thanks for showing that, it backs up what I said. Even though there were candles in use in the 1st century they were not used in Judaism. The Menorah in the temple as commanded used the finest olive oil. So, it couldn't have been a 'candlestick' nor a 'candelabrum', these are what you see in churches but you wouldn't see that in the temple, nor in heaven.
Yeshua is the anointed one, you anoint one with Olive oil, not candle wax.
I know full well oil was used and not candles. I gave the interlinear with Strong's numbers so you could see the definition of the word translated "candlesticks" (lamp stand). A menorah is a "lamp stand". My point is, there were seven of them, not one; seven menorah with Yeshua in the midst. If just a "lamp" was meant, the Greek word would have been "lampas" rather than "luchnia".
I agree. The problem is, the menorah does not have a six pointed star.I think the reason the menorah was brought up was the mention of things to do with the tabernacle that have the six pointed star.
