Then He instructed Moses to make the sanctuary and all it contained exactly how He told him to make it: “According to all that I shew thee, after the pattern of the tabernacle, and the pattern of all the instruments thereof, even so shall ye make it” (Exo. In Exodus chapter 25, the Lord told Moses to speak to the Israelites and tell them to bring free-will offerings for the purpose of making a sanctuary for Him to dwell in. Let’s first look at a type and shadow of the Holy Spirit in the book of Exodus.
In Exodus, the Holy Spirit Is Symbolized as Seven Lights And like in Revelation, we also see Jesus, as Messiah, in the Old Testament having those seven eyes. And just like Revelation 5:6, the Old Testament also uses the phraseology of the “seven eyes” and “seven lamps” in connection with the Holy Spirit. But like the book of Revelation, the Holy Spirit is symbolized in the Old Testament in type and shadow as the seven spirits.
We don’t typically relate to the Holy Spirit as being the “seven Spirits of God.” Nowhere in the New Testament other than the book of Revelation is the Holy Spirit referred to as the seven Spirits of God. This time we see the seven spirits being described as “seven horns and seven eyes”: “…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.” But this time, we see something different, something unusual. Number four: In Revelation 5:6, we see the last verse referring to the Holy Spirit as “seven spirits.” And this is the second time where we see Jesus, the slain Lamb, having the seven spirits. And this time, we see the seven spirits referred to as the “seven lamps of fire burning”: “…seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God” (Rev. Number three: Next in Revelation chapter four, we see in this portion of scripture where John is describing the throne room of God, and the Holy Spirit is again represented as the seven spirits. “And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write these things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God…” (Rev. But this is the first time where we see Jesus having the seven spirits. Number two:The second time we see the Holy Spirit represented as seven spirits is in Revelation chapter three. The Holy Spirit is presented to us as “the seven Spirits which are before his throne.” “John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness…” (Rev. Number one:The first time we see this phraseology of “seven spirits” is in the first chapter of Revelation in the greeting from the Godhead. So far, this is the fourth and last time in the book of Revelation that we have seen the Holy Spirit referred to as “seven spirits.” Let’s review all four scriptures together. Bible scholars agree that the symbolism in the phrase “seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits” represents the Holy Spirit of God. Let’s look at the last half of Revelation 5:6: “…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.” Here we see the slain Lamb, which is Jesus, having seven horns and seven eyes, which we are told are the seven Spirits of God that are sent forth into all the earth. In this post, we’re going to look at the mysterious phrase “seven spirits of God.” Most people do not understand what the seven spirits are. In our last post, we examined the reasons why Jesus is the only person qualified to open the seven seals. Greetings! This is our fifth post in our study of Revelation chapters 4 and 5.
