AMEN! I would like for someone to explain the differences of the 
Menorah's in the scriptures, please.

We have always related our Menorah to the seven spirits, each bringing
light and revelation to man.  These are listed in Isaiah 11 as:


1. The Spirit of the Lord

2. The Spirit of Wisdom

3. The Spirit of Understanding

4. The Spirit of Counsel

5. The Spirit of Might

6. The Spirit of Knowledge

7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord


In Proverbs 20:27 we see that the "spirit of man is the Lampstand
(Menorah) of the Lord."  How does this serve us?  It searches our
hearts, bringing light to darkness, exposing hidden sin, and creating
within us a clean heart.

       In Revelation 1:4, 20 it is written:

"John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and 
peace from him which is, and which was, and which is to come: and 
from the seven Spirits which are before the throne ... and the seven 
candlesticks which you saw are seven churches"
