The seven stars are these seven angels which are messengers to the lamp, which are called out assemblies located in Asia Minor. The oil lamps, stars, and angels are all connected.
Revelation 2:5 shows where one of the branches of the menorah is in danger of being removed, from the angel. The angel here is being rebuked and told that it has fallen, and needs to get things right. Are we to believe that the angel is a fallen angel over the city of Ephesus? No, it is a guiding star,
Jude 1:12-13 false ministry is considered to be wandering stars. Stars in ancient times were used to plot a course, to seek correct direction. In Revelation the stars are found in the right hand of Christ the ancient of days. Which means Christ is in control, if these stars remain fixed, and therefore can continue to have the light unto their feet from the word which fuels the candlesticks. In Jude, the wandering stars are reserved for "darkness" which is a condition which is void of light, which is knowledge of God's word. These wandering stars are not in His hands but go as they please, under their own human will. They have no headship from their head which is Christ. Therefore, no headship, no light, no right hand position of authority, and lastly no knowledge.
