Bible Answer: I hope this helps you: "The Seven Lamps of Fire.--In these lamps of fire we have the antitype of the golden candlestick of the typical sanctuary, with its seven ever-burning lamps. This candlestick was placed by divine direction in the first apartment of the earthly sanctuary. (Exodus 25: 31, 32, 37; 26: 35; 27: 20.) Now when John tells us that a door was open in heaven, and in the apartment thus disclosed to view he sees the antitype of the candlestick the earthly sanctuary, it is good proof that he is looking into the first apartment of the sanctuary above.
