The
Lamb with Seven Horns vs. The Lamb with Seven Eyes
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 all the earth.
Revelation 3:1 Write to the
angels of the church in Sardis, saying, “He who has the seven spirits and the
seven stars of God says this: I know your deeds; you are called alive,
but you are dead.”
Deuteronomy 33:17 He is like a
newborn bull, majestic in appearance; his horns are those of a wild bull, which
he uses to butt on the nations to the ends of the earth. These horns are the
ten thousandths of Ephraim and the thousandths of Manasseh.
