1 | What are the seven Spirits of God? | Rev 4:5 | Ray | 7389 | ||
Hi Gloria, I think you are correct in the capitalization of the *Spirits of God. One of the versions that Steve mentioned that does not capitalize them is the New Revised Standard Version. That happens to be what is in a parallel column of the Greek New Testament, UBS 4th edition, Nestle-Aland 26th edition. That translation has a verse that I would like to consider with you. Revelation 22:6, "And he said to me, "These words are trustworthy and true, for the Lord, the God of the spirits (sic) of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place." Deity isn't capitalized in this version so I should tell you that it is the angel speaking and it is this angel who in the following verses tells John not to fall down and worship him; rather, worship God. So, I am saying that it is important that we capitalize correctly the spirits and the angels found in the word of God. We know, too, that the Son of Man was made a little higher than the angels. We do find Him in scripture as an Angel of God. The "seven Spirits" are found in three verses and I find that significant as far as being a believer in the Trinity. The version that I mentioned (NRSV) does have the *Spirit who speaks to the churches capitalized. This Spirit is mentioned seven times here in Revelation. 2:7,11,17,29; 3:6,13,22. I think that to know the complete Spirt, the Three in One, if you will, we need to be listening to Him with our ears and eyes, and our total being. The Spirit has said all that He has to say; what we have to do is read and hear. |
