1:12. And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

(See Commentary at 1:12 “Being Turned")
1 Kings 8:29-30, 46-50;
Psalm 5:7; 28:2; 138:2;
Ezek. 43:1-3;
Daniel 7:9-14; 10:5-9;

I saw seven golden lampstands:  (WS ‘Candlesticks’) 
Exod. 25:31-40; 27:20-21; 37:17-23;
Lev. 24:2, 4;
Num. 8:1-4; 
Deut. 1:10; 10:22;
1 Kings 7:49;
1 Chron. 28:15, 19;
2 Chron. 29:7-8; 
Isaiah 62:1, 3: 
Jerusalem as a lamp & a diadem.
Zech. 4;
 Heb. 1:1-3. 


Seven Lampstands = 7 Churches, 
Rev. 1:20; 
7 Lamps = 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.)


 


1:13. And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
 And in the midst of the lampstands:
Isaiah 12:6; 
Joel 2:27.


One like a Son of Man:
(Ezekiel was called "Son of Man" more than 90 times.)
Ezek. 1:26;
Daniel 7:13;
Matt. 16:13-20;
Revelation 14:14.


Clothed with a long robe and with a golden girdle round his breast:
Exod. 28:2-40;
Lev. 8:7-9;
Ezra 2:69 KJV;
Neh. 7:70, 72;
Isaiah 11:5;
