What are the seven spirits of God mentioned in Revelation 5?
Revelation 5 identifies the seven spirits of God with the Lamb’s seven eyes. They depict the seven attributes of the Holy Spirit, which the context directs readers to find in Isaiah chapter 11 around verse 4. These seven eyes are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Les explains that in Revelation 5:6 the Lamb, shown as slain, has seven horns and seven eyes. The seven horns depict His political power, and the seven eyes are the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. Les says to go back to Isaiah chapter 11, about verse 4, to find the seven attributes of the Holy Spirit; these are what Revelation refers to as the seven attributes of the Spirit. This occurs as Jesus comes before God the Father in the scene of who can pay the mortgage.
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
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.
