The Incomplete

In the sermon on the mount Jesus Christ refered to candles, and the flames therefrom, as a symbol of the truth of God. The number 7 is a (Hebrew) symbol of completion or godliness. This man has been given the truth of God but his head remains bowed and he resides in darkness. See the 6 lit candles that have been placed upon him, and have begun to melt over him. Notice that the one candle which is in his hand (or that which he has control over) and how is not lit. Though Christ has given him light and full access to completion he will never be complete without lighting that which is in his hands, or doing that which he has control over (the seventh candle).
