(Write about, describe and explain) The mystery
  • ​the mystery = the meaning of (what would otherwise be unknown, secret)
​of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand,​​
and the seven golden candlesticks.​​
The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches:
  • ​are = represent
  • angels = (greek: angelos) = messengers
  • of = to
  • > The seven stars (angels) are not heavenly beings, but rather the human leaders of each church, i.e., the pastors.​
and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.
  • ​candlesticks = lampstands
  • which thou sawest = that I showed you in vision
  • are = represent
  • the seven churches = each and every true and faithful church throughout the Christian era
