What are the Seven Spirits of God?

[Quasar92]

The "seven spirits of God" are mentioned in Revelation 1:4; 3:1; 4:5; and 5:6. The seven spirits of God are not specifically identified, so it’s impossible to be dogmatic. Revelation 1:4 mentions that the seven spirits are before God's throne. Revelation 3:1 indicates that Jesus Christ "holds" the seven spirits of God. Revelation 4:5 links the seven spirits of God with seven burning lamps that are before God's throne. Revelation 5:6 identifies the seven spirits with the "seven eyes" of the Lamb and states that they are "sent out into all the earth."

There are at least three possible interpretations of the seven spirits of God. The first is that the seven spirits of God are symbolic of the Holy Spirit. The Bible, and especially the Book of Revelation, uses the number seven to refer to perfection and completion. If that is the meaning of the seven in the "seven spirits" then it is not referring to seven different spirits of God, but rather the perfect and complete Holy Spirit. The second view is that the seven spirits of God refer to seven angelic beings, possibly the seraphim, the cherubim. This would fit with the numerous others angelic beings that are described in the Book of Revelation [Revelation 4:6-9; 5:6-14; 19:4-5].

A third possibility is based on Isaiah 11:2 which says, “The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him — the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD.” This could possibly explain the seven spirits of God…(1) Spirit of the LORD, (2) Spirit of wisdom, (3) Spirit of understanding, (4) Spirit of counsel, (5) Spirit of power, (6) Spirit of knowledge, (7) Spirit of the fear of the Lord. The Bible doesn’t tell us specifically who/what the seven spirits are, but the first interpretation that they are the Holy Spirit seems the most likely.

*[[Zec 4:1-14/KJV]]*
v 1 And the angel that talked with me came again, and waked me, as a man that is wakened out of his sleep,

v 2 And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick all of gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his SEVEN LAMPS thereon, and SEVEN PIPES to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof:
v 3 And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.

v 4 So I answered and spake to the angel that talked with me, saying, What are these, my lord?
v 5 Then the angel that talked with me answered and said unto me, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
v 6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
v 7 Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
v 8 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
v 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it; and thou shalt know that the LORD of hosts hath sent me unto you.
v 10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for THEY shall rejoice, and SHALL SEE the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those SEVEN; they are the EYES of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth. v 11 Then answered I, and said unto him, What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof?
v 12 And I answered again, and said unto him, What be these two olive branches which through the two golden pipes empty the golden oil out of themselves?
v 13 And he answered me and said, Knowest thou not what these be? And I said, No, my lord.
v 14 Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.
The seven eyes are connected to the time of the 2 witnesses, the 1260 last days before the end.
*[[Rev 4:5]] KJV* And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
