In the tabernacle of Moses, the lampstand was crafted from one piece of gold, using the symbolism that belongs to an almond tree. Exo 25:31-40. Notably, the symbolism of the lampstand does not depict an almond tree at a static point in time. Rather, it depicts a tree that is growing, and it particularly highlights the three stages of development that belong to the almond flowers. Recognising that a lampstand church grows, it is important to consider how it grows to become the revelation of the sevenfold Spirit of Yahweh as the light of the world.
The first point regarding the growth of a lampstand church is that it grows from its root. The apostle John identified the root of the lampstand when he declared, ‘This is the message which we have heard from Him and declared to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.’ 1Jn 1:5. When John said, ‘God is Light’, he was referring to the life and fellowship of Yahweh Elohim. The light that emanates from the fellowship of Yahweh Elohim is the light of the sevenfold Spirit of Yahweh.
When we consider the life and fellowship of Yahweh Elohim, we note that the community of Elohim – Father, Son and Holy Spirit - is the sum of all diversity. Equally, the fellowship of Yahweh is the sum of all unity. Elohim is Three and Yahweh is One. The sevenfold Spirit of Yahweh is the full capacity that belongs to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, in the fellowship of one Spirit, to multiply Their life and fellowship through offering.
Before the foundation of the world, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit determined to make offering for the purpose of giving us Their life and including us in Their fellowship.

Exo 25:31-40
You shall also make a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand shall be of hammered work. Its shaft, its branches, its bowls, its ornamental knobs, and flowers shall be of one piece. And six branches shall come out of its sides: three branches of the lampstand out of one side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the other side. Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower — and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand. On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower. And there shall be a knob under the first two branches of the same, a knob under the second two branches of the same, and a knob under the third two branches of the same, according to the six branches that extend from the lampstand. Their knobs and their branches shall be of one piece; all of it shall be one hammered piece of pure gold. You shall make seven lamps for it, and they shall arrange its lamps so that they give light in front of it. And its wick-trimmers and their trays shall be of pure gold. It shall be made of a talent of pure gold, with all these utensils. And see to it that you make them according to the pattern which was shown you on the mountain.
