The secret of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand, and of the seven gold vessels with burning lights. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven lights are the seven churches.
Revelation 3:22
He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches.
