Bible Question:
MY QUESTION PERTAINS TO THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS CHAPTER 4 VERSE 5. WHAT ARE THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD THAT THIS VERSE REFERS TO?????????? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP |
Bible Answer: Hi D.Jones, Welcome to the forum. I hope that I do not discourage you from participating when I start with a suggestion. May I suggest that you use your shift key? For three reasons: some of us find all caps hard to read, all caps denote shouting, and if you use all caps or all lower case then words of Deity can not be shown. With that introduction, bear with me and us, as I am sure that you will find some good food for thought here at the forum. The seven angels and seven plagues which are the last, and show completion in Revelation 15:1 is an example of how the Scriptures use the number seven. I believe that the seven Spirits or spirits (remember ability to capitalize is important) show the totality or perfect number of the spirits of God used. Besides your Revelation 4:5 reference, the seven Spirits of God are mentioned in Rev 3:1 and 5:6. Seven Spirits who are before His throne and seven angels who stand before God are found in Rev 15:1 and 8:2 respectively. For all of these references I have chosen to put them in lower case for my personal copy because I do not believe that they are speaking of the Person of the Holy Spirit. I believe that they are speaking of the angels. Revelation 5:11, "And I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the numbers of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, "Worthy is the Lamb..." By the way, if you wonder if angels sing you can read what the members here think if you "Search" out the thread. Let me know what you think. Maybe now is a good time to talk about it. Then again, maybe not, eh guys? :) Again, welcome to the forum. From the heart, Ray |
