75. Who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands' signifies from Whom all enlightenment [comes] to those who belong to His Church. That 'the seven lamp- stands', in the midst of which was the Son of Man, signify the Church that is in enlightenment from the Lord, may be seen above (n. 43 and 66). It is here said 'Who walks', because 'to walk' signifies to live (n. 167), and 'in the midst' signifies in the inmost and thence in all (n. 44, 383).
