The Seven Eyes VS The Seven Lamps VS The Seven Spirits (for God’s
Building)
Zechariah 4:10 Who despises
the things of this day as insignificant? These seven eyes are the eyes of the
Lord, who search the whole earth, and when he saw Zerubbabel with his skewer,
he rejoiced.
Revelation 4:5 And lightning,
a roar, and thunder came from the throne. And seven lamps of fire were burning
before the throne; these are the seven spirits of God.
Revelation 5:6 Then I saw a
lamb standing between the throne and the four living creatures and among the
elders, as if it had just been slain, with seven horns and seven eyes—the seven
spirits of God, sent out into the whole earth.
