Numbers 8:1-26(b) Instructions with Reference to the Position of the Candelabra (Numbers 8:1-4) The Instructions Given in Numbers 8:1-26 with Reference to the Position of the Candelabra are Interesting. The candelabra must be so arranged that the lights will shine upon the center shaft which had been worked with divine skill. The candelabra, doubtless, represents Christ; and the light of the candelabra, the Holy Spirit. So we may understand by this that it is the office of the Holy Spirit to glorify Christ, as it is the privilege and obligation of the Church also to glorify Him. The Church is likened unto lamp stands, in the center of which the Lord stands or walks (Revelation 1:12-13; Revelation 1:20; Revelation 2:1; cf. Philippians 2:15-16; Matthew 5:14-16).
