Gloria ... We have read of the 7 spirits of God elsewhere in this book (1:4; 3:1; 5:6). BTW, some translations do not capitalize spirit - The Greek does not have capital letters. It is not the seven churches (lampstands) or leaders (stars) of chapters 2 and 3 (1:20). E. Cobham Brewer says "(1) the Spirit of Wisdom, (2) the Spirit of Understanding, (3) the Spirit of Counsel, (4) the Spirit of Power, (5) the Spirit of Knowledge, (6) the Spirit of Righteousness, and (7) the Spirit of Divine Awfulness" These spirits are angels (3:1; 4:5; 5:6; 8:2, 6; 15:1, 6-8; 16:1; 17:1; 21:9), according to someone else. "And the [1] spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of [2] wisdom and [3] understanding, the spirit of [4] counsel and [5] might, the spirit of [6] knowledge and of the [7] fear of the LORD"--Isaiah 11:2 Some may say the last six are all part of the first, spirit of the LORD. |
