lamps. Seven is the number of per-fection and victory. With

a careful observation, the lamp stand can be seen as having
3 lamps on each side, with one lamp standing taller in the

middle. Without the middle stand, it numbers only 6. Six

“Remain in me, and I will remain in you. No branch can
bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can

you bear fruit unless you remain in me. I am the vine; you
are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will

bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” (John
15:4-5)
