“To the angel of the church of Ephesus write, ‘These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands.” (Rev 2:1)

The golden lapmstands are interpreted by Jesus to be the churches.  Jesus is carefully holding the seven churches in his right hand.  He is walking among us in the church at all times. It is interesting how He is holding us in His hands while He is walking among us. He is in control at all times. 

Ephesus represents the church at the time of the writing.  See the Prophetic Profile in subsection 6 to Ephesus.
