In the New Testament, it is often used metaphorically to represent the church or the presence of God's light in the world. The lampstand is a symbol of illumination, guidance, and the presence of God among His people.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, the lampstand held significant religious importance, particularly in the context of the Tabernacle and the Temple. The menorah, a seven-branched lampstand, was a central fixture in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple in Jerusalem. It symbolized the light of God's presence and His guidance for the Israelites. The menorah was crafted from pure gold and was kept burning continually as a perpetual light before the Lord (Exodus 25:31-40).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3088.htm">luchnos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a lampstand<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>lampstand (6), lampstands (6).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3087: λυχνία</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λυχνία</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λυχνίας</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span>, a later Greek word for the earlier <span class="greek2">λυχνίον</span>, see <span class="abbreviation">Lob. ad Phryn.</span>, p. 313f; (<span class="abbreviation">Wetstein</span> (1752) on <a href="/interlinear/matthew/5-15.htm">Matthew 5:15</a>; <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>s Grammar, 24); the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> for <span class="hebrew">מְנורָה</span>; <span class="accented">a (candlestick) lampstand, candelabrum</span>: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/5-15.htm">Matthew 5:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-21.htm">Mark 4:21</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/8-16.htm">Luke 8:16</a>; (<a href="/interlinear/luke/11-33.htm">Luke 11:33</a>); <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/9-2.htm">Hebrews 9:2</a>; the two eminent prophets who will precede Christ's return from heaven in glory are likened to 'candlesticks,' <a href="/interlinear/revelation/11-4.htm">Revelation 11:4</a> (<span class="abbreviation">Buttmann</span>, 81 (70); <span class="abbreviation">Winer</span>'s Grammar, 536 (499)); to the seven 'candlesticks' (<a href="/interlinear/exodus/25-37.htm">Exodus 25:37</a> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
