(See 1:1 for “Signifying Angel”)
“Angels of the Seven Churches”:
Revelation 1:20; 2:1, 8, 12, 18; 3:1, 5, 7, 14;
Ministering Angels and Angels around the throne:3:5; 5:11; 7:1, 2, 11; 8:3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 13; 9:1, 11, 14, 15; 12:7, 9, (devil’s angels); 14:8, 10, 19; 15:1, 6, 7, 8; 16:1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, 12, 17; 18:1, 21; 19:17; 21:12.

Heb. 2:2.
And the seven lampstands are the seven churches.
Revelation 4:5; 5:6;
(Seven Lampstands = 7 Churches, Rev.1:20;
7 Lamps = 7 Lamps of Fire = 7 Spirits, Rev. 4:5;
7 Spirits = 7 Eyes of the Lamb, 5:6;
7 Stars = 7 Angels, 1:20;
Angels = Spirits, Psalm 104:4 and Heb. 1:7, 14.
Therefore these are all synonymous and interchangeable to some degree: Lampstands, Churches, Spirits, Eyes of the Lamb, Stars.)
