7 spirits of God!


Revelation 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Revelation 5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

Revelation 5:12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.

Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.

[I choose to believe that Revelation 5:12 are the 7 spirits of God; Others speculate the following]: That there are at least three possible interpretations of the seven spirits of God. The [first] is that the seven spirits of God are symbolic of the Holy Spirit. If that is the meaning of the “seven” in the "seven spirits," then it is not referring to seven different spirits of God, but rather the perfect and complete Holy Spirit. The [second] view is that the seven spirits of God refer to seven angelic beings, possibly the seraphim or the cherubim. A [third] possibility is based on Isaiah 11:2, which says, “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.” This could possibly explain the seven spirits of God: (1) Spirit of the LORD, (2) Spirit of wisdom, (3) Spirit of understanding, (4) Spirit of counsel, (5) Spirit of power, (6) Spirit of knowledge, (7) Spirit of the fear of the Lord.

I must continue studying, praying and contemplating on this topic as of now. It is a topic worthy of more of each. Let me say, Revelation 5:12 gives us the seven spirits mentioned in Revelation 5:6 and other verses. Why else would they be there? I usually try to let scripture explain scripture.

Other pertinent verses: Revelation 1:4 and 3:1. I hope this encourages you to learn and continue to study your Bibles completely.
