Answered in 1 source
The golden candlestick symbolizes Jesus Christ, who is the source of spiritual light and represents the unity of believers in Christ.
The golden candlestick, made of pure gold and designed with precision, symbolizes various aspects of the Lord Jesus Christ. As a source of light without any windows in the tabernacle, it represents how Christ illuminates our spiritual darkness. The candlestick was crafted from one solid piece of gold, which signifies the uniqueness and purity of Christ, who paid the ultimate price for our redemption. Furthermore, the seven branches of the candlestick reflect the perfect nature of Christ and His church, reminding us that we, as believers, are united in one body under Him as our head.
