Giving continuous light to the inside of the Tabernacle, the Lampstand was made of one piece of solid, beaten gold. In it, we are given many spiritual parallels with Jesus Christ and his references to being the light of the world. The oil burned in the lamps symbolizes the Holy Spirit. The main shaft of the Lampstand pictures Christ, and the branches are united to it, reminding us of Jesus’ words, “Abide in me, and I in you….For without me ye can do nothing.”
