There's Nothing New in the book of Revelation

The rule for symbolizing Scripture interprets scripture if you cannot find similar or same usage elsewhere in the text then I do not have warrant to symbolize it.
If the writers of the bible use a word or phrase a certain way in a certain context,
then I do not have the right to import a different meaning to that usage, unless necessitated by the context

Revelation 1:1-2

book of signs

1 This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John,

John 1-17

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made.

4 In Him was life, and that life was the Light of men.

5 And the Light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.

6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

7 The same came as a witness to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.

8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.

9 That was the true Light which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.

10 He was in the world, and the world was made by Him, and the world knew Him not.

11 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not.

12 But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to those who believe in His name,

13 who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only Begotten of the Father), full of grace and truth.

15 John bore witness of Him and cried, saying,
“This was He of whom I spoke, ‘He that cometh after me is preferred before me, for He was before me.’”

16 And of His fullness have we all received, and grace for grace.

17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

and in the midst of the lampstands, One like the Son of Man, having been clothed to the feet, and having been girded about at the breasts with a golden sash.

“I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated;

And the hair of His head was like pure wool.

10 A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him.
A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him.

The court was seated, And the books were opened.

John Macarthur on Angeloi in Revelation 1

Revelation 1:20

20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in My right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks:

the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

MacArthur states

The New Testament nowhere teaches that Angels are involved in the leadership of the church.
Therefore Angeloi is better rendered messengers as in Luke 7:24, 9:52, and James 2:25

Some suggest that these messengers were the representatives from each of the seven churches which came to visit John on Patmos and take the book of Revelation back with them.
But since Christ is said to hold them in his right hand they were more likely leading elders and pastors.

Jeff Durbin on Angelos in Mathew 24:31

Matthew 24:31

31 And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other.

Durbin states..

If we have a presupposition that this is about the end of the world, and the final resurrection then we will see angels coming down out of heaven to gather God's elect.
But who are those messengers? God's People. Going to preach the gospel and bring together Hid chosen ones. (from his sermon Coming On the Clouds)

Revelation 1:18

and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

Revelation 19:1

19 And after these things I heard a great voice of a multitude of people in Heaven, saying,
“Alleluia! Salvation and glory and honor and power, unto the Lord our God,

hades and death

Hades- Realm of the dead who would be raised upon Revelations completion

Death- spiritual death separating men from God.

1 Corinthians 15:54-57

But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality,
then will come about the saying that is written,
“Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

Revelation 20:12-14

And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and books were opened;
and another book was opened, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged from the things which were written in the books, according to their deeds.
And the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them;
and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds.

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire.

Believers Who Have Died

13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.

14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.

15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,
will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.

16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,
with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air.
And so we will be with the Lord forever.

18 Therefore encourage one another with these words.
