1 The Father’s House Kingdom Ministry
Seven Spirits of GOD! Scriptures reference: Revelation, Daniel and Ezekiel. Revelation: Note the Title states Seven Spirit of God however, the scripture declares seven Spirits of God. Therefore, it is only the One Spirit with the seven spirits embedded in the One Holy Spirit. That trust in God which makes right conduct possible, even at the cost of personal risk and loss; the banishing of hatred, envy, scorn, all longing for revenge, and all desire for sin, are also obligations of the heart. And they include all nuances of virtue, such as these that have their being in the heart alone, and are not manifested in material life, save only by their influence; and yearning, till the yearning one turns pale with longing, * to realise, in thought and mind and deed, the will of God. The Mysteries: Seven Spirits of God INSTRUCTOR: Apostle Sophia Fenton

2 Seven Spirits of God Seven Spirits of GOD! Scriptures reference: Revelation, Daniel and Ezekiel. Revelation: Note the Title states Seven Spirit of God however, the scripture declares seven Spirits of God. Therefore, it is only the One Spirit with the seven spirits embebbed in the One Holy Spirit. The seven spirits portray the omnipresent Spirit of God.

3 Seven Spirits of God The prophet’s dictionary defined the word seven as: the number of divine revolutions and cycles. The number of Creator dominance that symbolises world impact and control. The number of sovereignty and absoluteness. It also defined the word Spirit as: an immaterial being. A member of the invisible worlds of God’s creation {Genesis 1:2; Psalm 143:10; Zechariah 7:12; Mark 1:10; Hebrew 1:7}. The online Lexicon Greek dictionary defined the word Spirit as: pneuma, which means a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit: ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. The definition of the word Spirit.

4 Seven Spirits of God Seven Spirits Before the Throne of God: Figurative of the seven churches eventually birthed by Jesus Christ; the global powers that cover and rule God’s world. The Bible’s reference to the seven spirits addresses the seven spirits before the throne of the Lord God Almighty. Their other names are the eyes of the Lord, the lamps (light), and the sent ones of the Lord, Revelation 5:6 states they were sent forth after the triumph of the Lamb into all the earth. Note as seven is completion and perfection, the seven spirits of God all pertain to the facilities and agencies of the Creator prepared and dispatched for His government of all creation. Thus the seven churches that eventually came out of Christ’s passion. Silver: Symbolic of wisdom. Silver not only represents the soul (see Ecclesiastes 12:6) but is also indicates a spiritual sphere. Wisdom, prosperity, and opportunity for fortune. Israel’s new leaders were to each offer seven silver platters upon inauguration to their offices. The seven Spirits might also correspond to the seven Virtues (Dunamis), or the seven Potencies of God: Courage, Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, Hope, Faith, Charity. Meaning of Greek word Dunamis: to describe dynamic power of the sort that generates and manifests the miracle of God. Matthew 11:20; Luke 1:17; Acts 2:22; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 2 Timothy 1:7.

5 Seven Spirits of God The Mysteries of the Bible
The dragon/ Satan himself Jesus the Lamb - who is wrapped up in the Father The Dove – the Holy Spirit Rev. 1:1-3 This book is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; the whole Bible is so; for all revelation comes through Christ, and all relates to him. Its principal subject is to discover the purposes of God concerning the affairs of the church, and of the nations as connected therewith, to the end of the world. These events would surely come to pass; and they would begin to come to pass very shortly. Though Christ is himself God, and has light and life in himself, yet, as Mediator between God and man, he receives instructions from the Father. To him we owe the knowledge of what we are to expect from God, and what he expects from us. The subject of this revelation was, the things that must shortly come to pass. On all who read or hear the words of the prophecy, a blessing is pronounced. Those are well employed who search the Bible. It is not enough that we read and hear, but we must keep the things that are written, in our memories, in our minds, in our affections, and in practice, and we shall be blessed in the deed. Even the mysteries and difficulties of this book are united with discoveries of God, suited to impress the mind with awe, and to purify the soul of the reader, though he may not discern the prophetic meaning. No part of Scripture more fully states the gospel, and warns against the evil of sin. 1:4-8 There can be no true peace, where there is not true grace; and where grace goeth before, peace will follow. This blessing is in the name of God, of the Holy Trinity, it is an act of adoration. The Father is first named; he is described as the Jehovah who is, and who was, and who is to come, eternal, unchangeable. The Holy Spirit is called the seven spirits, the perfect Spirit of God, in whom there is a diversity of gifts and operations. The Lord Jesus Christ was from eternity, a Witness to all the counsels of God. He is the First-born from the dead, who will by his own power raise up his people. He is the Prince of the kings of the earth; by him their counsels are overruled, and to him they are accountable. Sin leaves a stain of guilt and pollution upon the soul. Nothing can fetch out this stain but the blood of Christ; and Christ shed his own blood to satisfy Divine justice, and purchase pardon and purity for his people. Christ has made believers kings and priests to God and his Father. As such they overcome the world, mortify sin, govern their own spirits, resist Satan, prevail with God in prayer, and shall judge the world. He has made them priests, given them access to God, enabled them to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices, and for these favours they are bound to ascribe to him dominion and glory for ever. He will judge the world. Attention is called to that great day when all will see the wisdom and happiness of the friends of Christ, and the madness and misery of his enemies. Let us think frequently upon the second coming of Christ. He shall come, to the terror of those who wound and crucify him by apostacy: he shall come, to the astonishment of the whole world of the ungodly. He is the Beginning and the End; all things are from him and for him; he is the Almighty; the same eternal and unchanged One. And if we would be numbered with his saints in glory everlasting, we must now willing submit to him receive him, and honour him as a saviour, who we believe will come to be our Judge. Alas, that there should be many, who would wish never to die, and that there should not be a day of judgment! Old Testament & New Testament Symbolic of both the Jews & Gentiles

6 The Question is: What are the seven Spirits of God?
The Seven Spirits of God are embedded in the pureness of God. In that the Godhead in completeness is the Father, Son and Holy Spirit {Col. 2:9} The Father is Pure Light and Light is the Father. So therefore, the Son is Light and the Holy Spirit is Light. The Divine Nature of the God is the fullness of the Ruwach all wrapped up in All three in ONE of the Godhead! So, then the seven spirits wrapped up in the Holy Spirit is the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit all in ONE! Light God is Pure Light – and His divine heavenly nature is absolute pure light in its fullness and eternity and eternal covenant in HIM! So therefore, when the Corporate Bride of Christ is completely in Pure Light then the divine nature of the Godhead is fully in operation in the Seven Spirits of God. This is why the scripture declares no spot, blemish or wrinkle can be on the Bride of Christ and no spot, blemish or wrinkle can enter the Kingdom Of Heaven. Note : With the Seven Spirits of God; Light and Truth goes together, Love with Wisdom, Faith with Holiness, Mercy with Judgment! The "seven Spirits" likely represent the sevenfold ministry of the Spirit as depicted in Isaiah 11:2." (Revelation - Everyman's Bible Commentary, p. 14) Isaiah 11:2 reads, "The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord.“ Col. 2:9 - For in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Philippians 2:6 - Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

7 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
The all Complete, Self-Existent GOD, who is God Before Time and God After Time and Needs nothing or no one to make HIM Fully God of the entire Universe and all of Creation has the seven spirits embebbed in Him. Genesis 1:2 so rightly declares: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters”. John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God”. Seven Spirits of Adonai Spirit of Light combine Truth Spirit of Love Spirit of Faith Spirit of Mercy Spirit of Judgment Spirit of Holiness Spirit of Wisdom Note without the spirit of Light all the other divine nature are left incomplete for GOD is PURE LIGHT. Note without the spirit of Light all the other divine nature are left incomplete for God is LIGHT. THE DUTIES OF THE HEART Wisdom, the Highest Good – The Jewish Talmud The supreme benefit, and the highest good bestowed by the Creator on human beings (after the gift of existence and the perfected faculties of perception and intelligence), is Wisdom. This, indeed, is the very life of their spirits. It is the lamp of their reason, which enables them to come to the will of God, and delivers them from all disaster in this world and in the world to come. This Wisdom, or Philosophy, is of three kinds: the Philosophy of Nature, dealing with the properties and accidents of Matter; the Philosophy of Number and Measurement, the Mathematical Wisdom, including Astronomy and Music; and Philosophy, properly so called, including the knowledge of God, and the knowledge of His laws, and the rest of the sciences that are concerned with life and mind, and with human souls and spiritual beings. But all divisions of Wisdom are gates which the Creator, Blessed be He, has opened to human beings to enable them to attain to religion and the p. 16 Only some of these sciences are more necessary to the subject of Religion, and other divisions are more necessary for the attainment of worldly advantage. The highest form of Wisdom, the Divine Wisdom, is that which is most necessary to Religion. It is our duty to study this philosophy, in order, by means of Reason and discriminating intelligence, to attain to our religion, to morality and the laws of life that make for the health of our bodies and our souls. But it is forbidden to us to study it for purposes of worldly advantage; but from the single motive of Love Alone. The Rabbis say: "Do things for the sake of the work itself, and speak the words [of the law] for their own sake. Thou shalt neither make the Torah a crown, to magnify thyself with it, nor a spade to dig with." Thou shalt neither make the Torah a crown, to magnify thyself with it, nor a spade to dig with." And they say, in reference to words of Psalm cxii., "'Happy is the man who fears the Eternal, and delighteth greatly in His Commandments,' Rabbi Eliezar explains delighteth greatly in His Commandments, themselves, and not in the merit, or in any reward, spiritual or material, attached to their performance, as we have learned,' 'be not like servants that serve their master for the sake of receiving a reward, but be ye like servants who serve their master with the intention of receiving no reward, and let the awe of Heaven be upon you.'" The wisdom of the Torah * is divided into two parts: I. The wisdom of the visible, that enables us to know the duties of the body and its members; and these include not only all the practical obligations p. 18 both of ethics and religion, but also all the physical obligations and restraints of a good and moral life. II. The Duties of the Heart and Mind; duties that concern thought and feeling, and whose fulfilment is entirely in the hidden depths of the human heart and soul, and this is the wisdom of the invisible. The duties of the heart and mind have all of them their roots in human reason, and, like some corporeal duties, would be recognised as binding even without revelation. Examples of Duties of the Heart Among commands relating to duties of the heart and mind are the following:—To believe that the world has a Creator, who created it from nothing, and that there is none other like Him. To accept His Unity and worship Him in our hearts. To devote intelligent thought to the wonders of His Creation, so that they may be to us a sign concerning Him. To trust in Him, and humble ourselves before Him; to fear Him, to tremble at the thought that He looks at us—at all that is revealed and all that is hidden about us; to desire to do His will; and to concentrate all our efforts upon good deeds that are absolutely disinterested and only motive by love of God. Further, that we should love Him and those that love Him, and hate those that hate Him. Also, that we should not covet, and not avenge, or bear a grudge. (Compare Levit. xix.) They also forbid us to think sinful thoughts, or to have sinful desires, and even to contemplate the commission p. 19 of any transgression, and other similar things which are hidden from man and none but God, alone, can see. world.

8 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
A Revelation to the biblical mystery of John 1:1:- The Supreme God {the Commander in Chief} was the Word and the Word was with HIM because HE is the WORD. Revelation: So, if The Word is GOD and God existed before the beginning of Creation then the Word was in a Self-existing mode of being as the Self-existing God, who is the WORD. Therefore, Yahweh’s Words cannot and will not fail or fall short. There is no boundary or no limits to HIS Words. HIS Words must accomplish all that HE has commanded it to do both in the Heavens and on the Earth. Amen! Albeit, if the Word of God is in a self-existing state as like the Self-existing God. Then the Seven Spirits of God which is embedded in the Godhead must have also being in a self-existing mode of being in GOD before the foundation of the Creation. This is the reason why the seven spirits of God is PURE LIGHT in completeness of the GODHEAD Hebrew: Hashilush Hakadosh – The Holy Trinity; The Father is God - Isaiah 64:8; Malachi 2:10; John 8:54; Yeshua is God - 1 Tim. 3:16; John 1:1-14; 9:38; Titus 2:13; Heb. 1:8,9, 5:6; The Holy Spirit is God - Acts 5:3-4; John 4:24; Luke 12:10; 2 Cor. 3:17. God is Light: Revelation: So, if The Word is GOD and God existed before the beginning of Creation then the Word was in a Self-existing mode of being as the Self-existing God, who is the WORD. Therefore, Yahweh’s Words cannot and will not fail or fall short. There is no boundary or no limits to HIS Words. HIS Words must accomplish all that HE has commanded it to do both in the Heavens and on the Earth. Amen! So, if the Word of God is in a self-existing state as like the Self-existing God. Then the Seven Spirits of God which is embedded in the Godhead must have also being in a self-existing mode of being in GOD before the foundation of the Creation.

9 It is called the “LAMP OF GOD” in the Scriptures 1 Samuel 3:3.
Seven Spirits of God The Holy Menorah The Menorah was formed from one piece of pure beaten gold weighing 3,000 shekels of silver {nearly 1000 pounds}. It was a highly decorative work that had seven branches (seven lamps), nine flowers blooms, eleven fruits and twenty two cups. According to the Talmud the Menorah measured eighteen tefachim (i.e., “palms”) in height {from the base to the start of the lamp), or roughly 5.2 feet. It is called the “LAMP OF GOD” in the Scriptures 1 Samuel 3:3. Just as heaven is lined with rows of stars so the Garden of Eden is lined with rows of the righteous who shine like the stars" (Ag. Song 13:55). The link and the connection of the Seven Spirits of God to the Menorah of the Temple! The linking of the Menorah in the Holy Place to the Ark of the Covenant in the Holiest of Holiest! How and Why? There were thus seven lamps in all, including that on the central stem. The material was costly, the work adorning it was artistic, the oil with which it was fed was carefully prepared, the number of its lamps expressed perfection, it was daily trimmed by the priest, and there, all through the night, it burned, the one spot of light in a dark desert. Note just as how the Menorah is constantly lit with the light and reflect light in the holy of holy in its entirety of the 7 stems. So, as well is the seven spirits of God in its perfection and completeness, illuminates darkness and expose sin in its Entirety and brings about the Divine nature and fullness of the Ruach of God the Godhead. It now beholds the Corporate Bride of Christ to ensure and ask the Father for the illumination of the Seven Spirits of God in their lifestyles which will then resulted and brings about earthly transformation of the Complete Ruach in The Bride of Christ entire Being.!!!

10 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
The "lamp of God" was to be made by hammering a single piece of solid gold into shape (Exod. 25:36). Note that the word translated "hammered" or "beaten" (מִקְשָׁה) comes from the word for "difficult" in Hebrew - קָשֶׁה) According to midrash, the method for constructing the menorah was difficult for Moses to comprehend, so the LORD first showed him one in the fire and told him: "This is how you will make it." Moses was unable to do so, however, so the LORD told him to take a block of gold and have Betzalel (the carpenter from Judah) throw it into the fire. After a flash of dazzling light, a glorious menorah came out formed by God Himself.  The sages link the design of the menorah with the Torah, which is regarded as the source of Divine light in the world. Notes Continues: The instructions for making the menorah were given earlier, in the Book of Exodus (Exod. 25:31-40), when the pattern (i.e., tavnit: תַּבְנִית) was revealed to Moses while he was at Sinai (Exod. 25:40; Num. 8:4). The divine lampstand had seven branches, twenty-two "goblets" (flower cups), eleven "knobs" (buds), and nine flowers.  According to the Talmud, the menorah measured seventeen "handbreadths" (tefachim) in height and nearly 100 pounds in pure beaten gold.

11 בֵּית יַעֲקב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יהוה
Continuation: Seven Spirits of God The light of the menorah, the symbol of Divine Light, was only visible before the holy place of sacrificial atonement.  The light itself came from the burning of pure olive oil - a symbol of anointing and the Holy Spirit. It was kindled by the hand of a man of peace and humility. Likewise, when we are given light to behold the sacrifice of Yeshua for our atonement (כַּפָּרָה), we are filled with the divine light (John 8:12; 1 John 1:7, Eph. 5:8). When we come to the cross, we can behold the truth of God's unfailing love that draws us to be united with Him.   בֵּית יַעֲקב לְכוּ וְנֵלְכָה בְּאוֹר יהוה bet  Ya·a·kov  le·khu  ve·nal·chah  be·or  Adonai  "O House of Jacob! Come, let us walk in the light of the LORD" (Isaiah 2:5) Connecting the Seven Spirits of God to the Menorah. The Menorah is symbolic of the Seven Spirits of God in that the servant stem (which is the middle oil holder) is the entire source from which the other six olive oil holder receive its light from. . The Menorah are symbolic of the Seven Spirits of God in that the servant stem (which the middle oil holder) is the entire source from which the other six olive oil holder receive it light. Likewise, with the seven Spirits of God; its the Pure Light of the Father’s divine and complete Ruach which illuminates and radiates the other six emanate, originate, derive and flow divine nature of the Seven Spirits of God into the Godhead itself.

12 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
Connecting the Seven Spirits of God to the Menorah and the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden! The menorah symbolises light, growth, unity, and the Tree of Life (i.e., unity of Torah).  All its parts were formed from a single piece of pure gold (זָהָב טָהוֹר that was "beaten" or "hammered" into shape (Exod. 25:36). This is a symbol of the divine substance (gold has a hint of the colour of blood combined with the pure white). Note further that the menorah sat upon a three-legged base - a hint of hashilush ha-kadosh (the triune nature of the Godhead that is the Root of all reality). This is another image of the concept of echdut - unity in plurality found in the Torah.  Just as the many parts of the Mishkan were put together to form "one Tabernacle“ הַמִּשְׁכָּן אֶחָד) and the prophet Ezekiel was told to join together two sticks to form "one tree" (עֵץ אֶחָד, see Ezek. 37:17), so the many parts of the menorah were likewise fashioned to form "one menorah" (Exod. 25:36, 26:6). How and Why? The connection between the Seven Spirits of God to the Menorah, the Lamp of God and the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden!!! How: Seven Spirits of God is the unique divine nature of the Godhead. The Seven Lampstand Menorah is the symbolic light burning of the Seven Spirits of God throughout Eternity and Eternal. In that The servant lamp of the Menorah is the Light bearing source of the six other lamps h burning in the time of the Temple and even now in Jewish Synagogues. The Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden is a source of eternal life. In that the Father YAH of Eternal created and given this Tree of Life the stem of Life for Eternal and Eternity, whereby had not Mankind Sin they would have live as a Tripartite Spirit, Soul and Body in a state of Life for Eternal – Mankind would not have known the Spirit of Death nor would the other elements of the Universe would have come to the process of decay and destruction. For The Godhead is Eternal and is for Eternity, so therefore The Menorah Burning Light would symbolise an Eternal Light Burning of God’s LIGHT for He is Light. The Tree of Life in PARADISE is for Eternity sources which was purpose for Mankind. Note: Paradise unlock would give one the FOUR LEVEL of UNLOCKING the Scriptures in Hebrew. Firstly, The Pshah, Then the Remez, then the Derash and next the Sod. In the Hebrew Language there is no vowels: So removes the two A, I, E from the English Word Paradise and one will have P R D S in Hebrew which the 4 levels of Interpretation and Insight in the Words of GOD. Why: The Ultimate Reason why the Seven Spirits of God is connected to the Menorah and Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden is because the Father divine Love and ever-loving grace wants to Mankind His Creation to come to a more deeper and grounded understanding of who The Godhead is! Seven branches (i.e., kanim: קָנִים, from קָנֶה, a "reed" or "stalk").  Unlike modern depictions of the menorah, it is thought that the branches were all straight (yashar), not curved. In that sense, the menorah itself resembled a tree, just as the Torah is referred to as a Tree of Life (עֵץ־חַיִּים): Our Torah portion this week begins with the LORD instructing Aaron to light the seven lamps of the menorah (מְנוֹרָה) so that they would give light "toward the face of the menorah" (אֶל־מוּל פְּנֵי הַמְּנוֹרָה). The sages understood this to mean that the seven lamps must all be "turned" toward the central stem (or shaft), which is regarded as "the face of the menorah" (Exod. 25:37; Num. 8:4). The menorah itself was formed from one piece of pure beaten gold weighing 3,000 shekels of silver (nearly 100 pounds). It was a highly decorative work that had seven branches (with seven lamps), nine flower blooms, eleven fruits, and twenty two cups. According to the Talmud, the menorah measured eighteen tefachim (i.e., "palms") in height (from the base to the start of the lamps), or roughly 5.25 feet. It is called the "lamp of God" (נֵר אֱלהִים) in the Scriptures (1 Sam. 3:3). The sages link the design of the menorah with the Torah, which is regarded as the source of Divine light in the world. The instructions for making the menorah were given earlier, in the Book of Exodus (Exod. 25:31-40), when the pattern (i.e., tavnit: תַּבְנִית) was revealed to Moses while he was at Sinai (Exod. 25:40; Num. 8:4). The divine lampstand had seven branches, twenty-two "goblets" (flower cups), eleven "knobs" (buds), and nine flowers.  According to the Talmud, the menorah measured seventeen "handbreadths" (tefachim) in height and nearly 100 pounds in pure beaten gold. Some of the ancient commentators link these numbers with the five books of the Torah as follows:   Seven branches (i.e., kanim: קָנִים, from קָנֶה, a "reed" or "stalk").  Unlike modern depictions of the menorah, it is thought that the branches were all straight (yashar), not curved. In that sense, the menorah itself resembled a tree, just as the Torah is referred to as a Tree of Life (עֵץ־חַיִּים): The branches were made of beaten gold from the same piece as the main shaft or trunk line. According to Maimonides, the central lamp faced the Holy of Holies. A three-stepped platform was placed in front of the menorah for kindling the wicks. The "tree of life" itself is based on plant-light analogy. The sages link the root/branches with the first verse of Genesis, which begins with 7 words. Genesis is the "root" from which the Torah grows.  The vision of Zechariah (see below) revealed seven "pipes" leading to each of the seven branches. Note that the 7x7 image is a symbol of perfection. Seven lamps (i.e., nerot: נֵרוֹת). The menorah had seven lamps, one lamp on top of the middle stem and one on top of each of its six branches. Each lamp was made of the same gold used to form the rest of the menorah. The lamps were "boat shaped" with pointed ends that faced the centre lamp. The centre lamp, however, resembled a basin.  Each lamp had a cover on it with a hole in the middle for the oil. The wicks were positioned by either bending them toward the centre or by clamping them down between the bowl and the cover. The lamps themselves were lit daily, "from evening until morning," from right to left (Exod. 27:21). According to the Talmud (Shabbat 22b), each lamp held about 9 ounces of the purest olive oil, sufficient to burn throughout the night. Wicks were created from worn-out garments of the priests.  Nine Flowers (i.e., perachim: פְּרַחִים)  These were ornamental parts intended to beautify the menorah. According to Targum Yonathan, the flowers were similar to roses. The flowers appeared at the top of each branch, just before the lamps (the other two occurred on the main stem, including one at the base of the menorah). According to Tosofot, all the ornaments of the menorah measured one tefach in height (i.e., 3.5" or the width of a handbreadth), except for the combined flower/cup/apple that appeared on the stem at tefach 6. The sages connect the flowers with the Book of Leviticus (which begins with 9 words). Eleven Fruits (i.e., kaftorim: כַּפְתּוֹרִים)  These were ornamentations that protruded on the shaft and the branches, at the top, just before the lamps themselves. The branches would extend outward from the top of the three fruits on the main stem, and also appeared at the top of each branch as well. The Talmud (Menachot 28b) states they were shaped like apples. They are sometimes likened to the "buds" that develop into fruit. All of the fruits had almond decorations engraved on them. The sages connect the buds with the Book of Exodus (the first verse of which begins with 11 words). Twenty-two Cups (i.e., gevi'im: גְבִעִים). The "goblets" or "flower cups" were really chalice-like containers used to hold larger quantities of liquid that resembled almond buds (Exod. 25:33; Jer. 35:5). They are likened to "stems" that supply the liquid for the blossoms and fruit. They support the buds as a "vascular" system of the tree symbolism. According to Rashi, the cups resembled long and narrow tubes rather than flower cups. There were three cups located at the top of each branch, and an extra cup located lower on the main stem. There are 22 letters of the Hebrew Alphabet - considered the "building blocks" used in Divine Revelation.  The sages link the flower cups (and letters of Torah) with the Book of Deuteronomy (the first verse of which begins with 22 words). Seventeen Handbreadths (i.e., tefachim: טְפָחִים). This refers to the height of the menorah. The first three tefachim were the base itself. The other elements (cups, buds, and flowers) were then placed up the tree. The sages connect the height of the menorah with the Book of Numbers (the first verse of which begins with 17 words). One base (i.e., yarech: יָרֵךְ) with three legs. The base was either square or rectangular in shape and made of hammered pure gold. A flower that adorned its top (Exod. 25:31; Num. 8:4). The exact dimensions of the base are not stated. The Talmud (Menachot 28b) says that the base had three legs that rose three tefachim high (i.e., approx. 10.5"), and therefore represents the triunity of God.   The menorah symbolizes light, growth, unity, and the Tree of Life (i.e., unity of Torah).  All its parts were formed from a single piece of pure gold (זָהָב טָהוֹר) that was "beaten" or "hammered" into shape (Exod. 25:36). This is a symbol of the divine substance (gold has a hint of the colour of blood combined with the pure white). Note further that the menorah sat upon a three-legged base - a hint of hashilush ha-kadosh (the triune nature of the Godhead that is the Root of all reality). This is another image of the concept of echdut - unity in plurality found in the Torah.  Just as the many parts of the Mishkan were put together to form "one Tabernacle" (הַמִּשְׁכָּן אֶחָד), and the prophet Ezekiel was told to join together two sticks to form "one tree" (עֵץ אֶחָד, see Ezek. 37:17), so the many parts of the menorah were likewise fashioned to form "one menorah" (Exod. 25:36, 26:6). The Torah itself is made up of five separate Books, but it is nevertheless one Torah, just as the children of Israel were divided into Kohanim (priests), Levites, and Israelites, though together they form one nation... Yeshua likewise taught us there would be one flock culled from both Jews and Gentiles, having one Shepherd (John 10:16).

In that sense, the menorah itself resembled a tree, just as the Torah is referred to as a Tree of Life. Menorah Revelation and History: Seven Spirits of God connect to the Menorah and to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden!!!

14 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
Connecting the Seven Spirits of God to the Menorah and the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden! How and Why? How: Seven Spirits of God is the unique divine nature of the Godhead. The Seven Lampstand Menorah is the symbolic LIGHT of the Seven Spirits of God which is Eternal and for Eternity. In that the servant lamp {Shamash} of the Menorah is the Light bearing source of the six other lamps that burns in the Holy Place of the Tabernacle and even now in Jewish Synagogues. The Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden is a source of Eternal life. In that the Father YAH of Eternity, created and given this Tree of Life the stem of Life for Eternal and Eternity, whereby had not Mankind Sin they would have live as a Tripartite Spirit, Soul and Body in a state of Life for Eternity – Mankind would not have known the Spirit of Death nor would the other elements of the Universe would have come to the process of decay and destruction. For The Godhead is Eternal and is for Eternity, so therefore The Menorah Burning Light would symbolise an Eternal Light Burning of God’s LIGHT for He is LIGHT. The Tree of Life in PARADISE is an Eternity source of life which was purpose for Mankind by Elohim. The Word Potency: - Intrinsic/internal strength to exert effective force and exercise inherent power. In the New Testament the Greek word that best describes this is dunamis.

The word PARADISE unlock would give one the FOUR LEVEL of Understanding the Scriptures in Hebrew. Pshah {“Simple”}, Remez {“Hint”}, Drash {“Search”} and the final level is Sod {“Hidden”}. In the Hebrew Language there is no vowels: So removes the two A, I, E from the English Word Paradise and one will have P R D S in Hebrew which is the 4 levels of Discerning and Comprehending the Words of GOD. Why: The ultimate reason why the Seven Spirits of God is connected to the Menorah and Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden is because the Father’s divine Love and ever-loving grace wants Mankind His Creation to come to a more deeper and grounded understanding of who the complete Godhead is! Seven Spirits of GOD The Holy MENORAH Tree of LIFE Advanced PaRDeS: Four Levels of Interpretation PaRDeS: The Four Levels of Understanding the Scriptures By Dr. James Trimm The Hebrew/Aramaic word PARDES is spelled in Hebrew and Aramaic without vowels as PRDS. PaRDeS refers to a park or garden, esp. the Garden of Eden. The word appears three times in the Aramaic New Testament (Lk. 23:43; 2Cor. 12:4 & Rev. 2:7). The word PRDS is also an acronym (called in Judaism "notarikon") for: [P]ashat (Heb. "simple") [R]emez (Heb. "hint") [D]rash (Heb. "search") [S]od (Heb. "hidden") These are the four levels of understanding the scriptures. Each layer is deeper and more intense than the last, like the layers of an onion. PASHAT The first level of understanding is PASHAT (simple). The Pashat is the literal meaning. It is similar to what Protestant hermeneutics calls "Grammatical Historical Exogesis" and also similar to what Protestant Hermeneutics calls "The Literal Principle." The PASHAT is the plain, simple meaning of the text; understanding scripture in its natural, normal sense using the customary meanings of the words being used, in accordance with the primary exegetical rule in the Talmud that no passage loses its PASHAT (b.Shab. 63a; b.Yeb. 24a). While there is figurative language (Ps. 36:7) symbolism (like Rom. 5:14); allegory (like Gal. 4:19-31) and hidden meanings (like Rev. 13:18; see also 1Cor. 2:7) in the Scriptures, the first thing to look for is the literal meaning or PASHAT. The following rules of thumb can be used to determine if a passage is figurative and therefore figurative even in its PASHAT: When an inanimate object is used to describe a living being, the statement is figurative. (Example: Prov. 18:10) When life and action are attributed to an inanimate object the statement is figurative. (Example: same example Prov. 18:10) When an expression is out of character with the thing described, the statement is figurative. (Example: Ps. 17:8) PASHAT is the keystone of Scripture understanding. If we discard the PASHAT we lose any real chance of an accurate understanding, left with a no-holds-barred game of pure imagination in which we are no longer objectively deriving meaning from the Scriptures (exogesis), but subjectively reading meaning into the scriptures (eisogesis) (see 2Pt. 1:20-21; 1Tim. 4:3-4). Thus Talmud twice warns us: "No passage loses its PASHAT" (b.Shab. 63a; b.Yeb. 24a). REMEZ The next level of understanding is called in Hebrew REMEZ (hint). This is the implied meaning of the text. Peculiarities in the text are regarded as hinting at a deeper truth than that conveyed by its PASHAT. An example of implied "REMEZ" meaning may be found in Ex. 21: where we are told of our liability regarding eyes and teeth. By the "REMEZ" understanding we know that this liability also applies to other body parts. DRASH Another level of understanding the Scriptures is called in Hebrew "drash" meaning "search", this is the allegorical, typological or homiletical application of the text. Creativity is used to search the text in relation to the rest of the Scriptures, other literature, or life itself in order to develop an allegorical, typological or homiletical application of the text. This process involves eisogesis (reading of the text) of the text. Three important rules in utilizing the drash level of understanding a scripture are: [1] A drash understanding can not be used to strip a passage of its PASHAT meaning, nor may any such understanding contradict any PASHAT meaning of any other scripture passage. As the Talmud states "No passage loses its PASHAT." (b.Shab. 63a; bYeb. 24a) [2] Let scripture interpret scripture. Look for the scriptures themselves to define the components of an allegory. For example use Mt. 12:18-23 to understand Mt. 13:3-9; Rev. 1:20 to understand Rev. 1:12-16; Rev. 17:7-18 to understand Rev. 17:2-8 etc. [3] The primary components of an allegory represent specific realities. We should limit ourselves to these primary components when understanding the text. EXAMPLES OF DRASH UNDERSTANDINGS: Mt. 2:15 on Hosea 11:1 Mt. 3:11 on Is. 40:3 Rom. 5:14 (14-21) on Gen. 3:1-24 I Cor. 4:6 Gal. 4:24(21-31) on Gen Col 2:17 Heb. 8:5 on priesthood Heb. 9:9, 24 on the Tabernacle Heb. 10:1 on the Torah Heb. 11:19 on Gen. 22:1f 1Pt. 3:21 on Gen. 6-9 SOD     The final level of understanding the Scriptures is called in Hebrew "SOD" meaning "hidden". This understanding is the hidden, secret or mystic meaning of a text. (See I Cor. 2:7-16 esp. 2:7). This process often involves returning the letters of a word to their prime-material state and giving them new form in order to reveal a hidden meaning. An example may be found in Rev. 13:18 where the identity of the Beast is expressed by its numeric value.

The Menorah 'Thou shalt make a candlestick of pure gold....‘ Exodus 25:31. If we could have followed the Jewish priest as he passed in his daily ministrations into the Inner Court, we should have seen that he first piled the incense on the altar which stood in its centre, and then turned to trim the lamps of the golden candlestick which flanked it on one side. Of course it was not a candlestick, as our versions misleadingly render the word. That was an article of furniture unknown in those days. The seven spirits portray the omnipresent Spirit of God.

17 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
It was a lampstand; from a central upright stem branched off on either side three arms decorated with what the Book calls 'beaten work,' and what we in modern jewellers' technicality call repousse work, each of which bore on its top, like a flower on its stalk, a shallow cup filled with oil, in which a wick floated. There were thus seven lamps in all, including that on the central stem. The material was costly, the work adorning it was artistic, the oil with which it was fed was carefully prepared, the number of its lamps expressed perfection, it was daily trimmed by the priest, and there, all through the night, it burned, the one spot of light in a dark desert. The obligation to fulfil the duties of the heart and mind is greater than any other, for, whether they p. 20 refer to the commands of Reason, or to those of Scripture or of Tradition, they are the foundations of all the precepts; and if there chance to be even the slightest failure in the ethics of the soul, there can be no proper fulfilment of any external ethical duty.

18 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
The Menorah Linked to Tree of Life The supreme benefit, and the highest good bestowed by the Creator on human beings (after the gift of existence and the perfected faculties of perception and intelligence), is Wisdom. Menorah Revelation and History: Seven Spirits of God connect to the Menorah and to the Tree of Life in the Garden of Eden!!! THE COMPOUND MENORAH Since we know that the menorah had seven lights, or candles, then how would that change our general understanding of what Christ was tending? Was he keeping just seven candles lit? Well, no, He wasn't. He was tending to 49 candles. This passage tells us that there were seven lampstands, or seven menorahs, and each menorah contained seven candles of it's own. So Christ was clearly tending 49 separate lights, and these 49 lights/candles form a compound menorah that is highly specific to the book of Revelation. If you recall our earlier lesson on the 'Tree of Life', the compound menorah takes on a specific shape, where one menorah feeds oil into the next. Specifically, the seventh event on each mini-menorah would feed oil into the middle shamash stand of the next mini-menorah, and the flow of events in the Revelation therefore takes on that precise chronology. This explains why the seventh letter introduces the seals, and the seventh seal introduces the trumpets, and so on. This overall flow of oil was explained in the 'Tree of Life' lesson however, so I won't repeat all of that here. If you have an interest in this dynamic, please go to the 'Sunday School Lessons' archives and refer to that session. ONE LAMPSTAND PER CHURCH Each mini-menorah on our Tree of Life is represented by a church, just as each mini-menorah is represented by a Festival. Referring to the Tree in the adjacent illustration, the 'Seven Letters' would be associated with the first Festival, the Passover, and would also be associated with the first church, Church of Ephesus. Then, the seven seals would be associated with the second festival of Unleavened Bread, which would also be associated with the Church at Smyna. This pattern would continue all the way through the seven Festivals and seven Churches. If you've reviewed the lesson on the 'Tree of Life', you may have noticed that not only are the seven churches represented by the seven lampstands, but elements from the seven churches are also found in the covenant process and in the full spectrum of colours in the rainbow. This process takes us from 'blood' covenant represented by the colour red, to the 'bride' covenant represented by the colour white. This dynamic occurred on both sides of the Tree, with the 'Life' side on the right, and the 'Death' side on the left. In other words, it appears that the Tree of Life operates on several different levels, and this is typical of the layer-upon-layer that we find throughout the Bible. As we walk through the letters to the seven churches, the reasons for this layering will become apparent.

19 Seven Spirits of God An introduction to the uncovering of the in the mysteries of Revelation. The title came into usage from the first word of the book in Koine Greek: apokalupsis, meaning "unveiling" or "revelation”. The Divine Elohim-GOD! Nature of the Heavenly Father The Divine Nature of God is link to the Fullness of the Ruach in GOD the Father the complete God! The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit – three in One! Note the Divine Nature of God transit all barriers and limitation and supersede the fullness of His Creation and their Power. So therefore, as the Divine Nature of Yahweh all wrapped up and in dwell in the complete Godhead of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Then the Seven Spirits of God is completely wrapped up and dwells in the Father’s Nature of Love and HIS love is LIGHT. And therefore, HIS light brings about illumination and crystal clear conscious and this illumination will resulted in Purification and Sanctification and purification and sanctification will bring about the Revelation or Apocalypses or the uncovering, unveiling of the Mysteries of the Father in HIS Fullness of the Rauch to Mankind. The master Builder and Arithectic and the Commander in Chief of the Universe!!!

20 Seven Spirits of God The Revelation of Jesus Christ - This is evidently a title or caption of the whole book, and is designed to comprise the substance of the whole; for all that the book contains would be embraced in the general declaration that it is a revelation of Jesus Christ. The word rendered "Revelation" - Ἀποκάλυψις Apokalupsis, whence we have derived our word "Apocalypse" - means properly an that is, nakedness; from ἀποκαλύπτω apokaluptō, to uncover. It would apply to anything which had been covered up so as to be bidden from the view, as by a veil, a darkness, in an ark or chest, and then made manifest by removing the covering. It comes then to be used in the sense of disclosing or revealing, by removing the veil of darkness or ignorance. "There is nothing covered that shall not be revealed.“ This may be done: (a) by instruction in regard to what was before obscure; that is, by statements of what was unknown before the statements were made; as in Luke 2:32, where it is said that Christ would be "a light to lighten the Gentiles" or when it is applied to the divine mysteries, purposes, or doctrines, before obscure or unknown, but made clear by light revealed in the gospel, Romans 16:25; 1 Corinthians 2:10; 1 Corinthians 14:6; Ephesians 3:5. The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols.

21 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
(b) by the event itself; as the manifestation of the wrath of God at the day of judgment will disclose the true nature of his wrath. "After thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and "revelation" of the righteous judgment of God," Revelation 2:5. "For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation (Greek revelation) of the sons of God," Romans 8:19; that is until it shall be manifest by the event what they who are the children of God are to be. In this sense the word is frequently applied to the second advent or appearing of the Lord Jesus Christ, as disclosing him in his glory, or showing what he truly is; "When the Lord Jesus shall be revealed," 2 Thessalonians 1:7 - ἐν τῇ ἀποκαλυψει en tēn apokalupsei - in the revelation of Jesus Christ; "Waiting for the coming (the revelation - την ἀποκάλυψιν tēn apokalupsin of our Lord Jesus Christ," 1 Corinthians 1:7; "At the appearing (Greek revelation) of Jesus Christ," 1 Peter 1:7; "When his glory shall be revealed," 1 Peter 4:13.

22 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:
Thus, the word גּלה gaalaah is used in Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants." So Job 33:16, "Then he openeth (revealeth or uncovereth; Heb. יגלה yigleh) the ears of men"; that is, in a dream, he discloses to their ears his truth before concealed or unknown. Compare Daniel 2:22, Daniel 2:28-29; Daniel 10:1; Deuteronomy 29:29. The idea is that of a disclosure of an extraordinary character, beyond the mere ability of man, by a special communication from heaven. This is manifest, not only from the usual meaning of this word, but by the word "prophecy," in Revelation 1:3, and by all the arrangements by which these things were made known. The ideas which would be naturally conveyed by the use of this word in this connection are two:- (1) that there was something which was before hidden, obscure, or unknown; and, (2) that this was so disclosed by these communications as to be seen or known. The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols.

(b) by the event itself; as the manifestation of the wrath of God at the day of judgment will disclose the true nature of his wrath.

This is called a revelation, because the knowledge of the event is in fact made known to the world by Him who alone can see it, and in such a manner as he pleases to employ; though many of the terms or the symbols may be, from the necessity of the case, obscure, and though their full meaning may be disclosed only by the event. It is in this sense, evidently, that the word is used here: and in this sense that it is more commonly employed when we speak of a revelation. Thus, the word גּלה gaalaah is used in Amos 3:7, "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants." So Job 33:16, "Then he openeth (margin, revealeth or uncovereth; Heb. יגלה yigleh the ears of men"; that is, in a dream, he discloses to their ears his truth before concealed or unknown. Compare Daniel 2:22, Daniel 2:28-29; Daniel 10:1; Deuteronomy 29:29. These ideas enter into the word as used in the passage before us. The idea is that of a disclosure of an extraordinary character, beyond the mere ability of man, by a special communication from heaven. This is manifest, not only from the usual meaning of this word, but by the word "prophecy," in Revelation 1:3, and by all the arrangements by which these things were made known.

The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols. In the Greek, in this passage, the article is missing - ἀποκάλυψις apokalupsis - a Revelation, not ἡ hē, the Revelation.

24 Seven Spirits of God Revelation 1:1-3
This book is the Revelation of Jesus Christ; the whole Bible is so; for all revelation comes through Christ, and all relates to him. Its principal subject is to discover the purposes of God concerning the affairs of the church, and of the nations as connected therewith, to the end of the world. These events would surely come to pass; and they would begin to come to pass very shortly. Though Christ is himself God, and has light and life in himself, yet, as Mediator between God and man, he receives instructions from the Father. To him we owe the knowledge of what we are to expect from God, and what he expects from us. The subject of this revelation was, the things that must shortly come to pass. On all who read or hear the words of the prophecy, a blessing is pronounced. The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols.

25 Seven Spirits of God The seven Spirits of God are mentioned four times in the Book of Revelation: Revelation 1:4 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; Revelation 3:1 And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Revelation 4:5 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. Revelation 5:6 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. Further Scriptures references: Zechariah 4:1-14. Thus there are three separate persons in the divine individuality and divine plurality. The Father is called God {1 Cor.8:6}, the Son is called God Isaiah 9:6-7; Heb 1:8; John 1:1-2; 20-28} and the Holy Spirit is called God (Acts 5:3-4). Note as individual person each one can be called God and collectively they can be spoken of as one GOD because of their perfect UNITY. Parousia, personal appearance, presence. The word is generally trans. Coming. Hence it is used for both the Rapture (coming in the air for the saints), and the second advent {coming from heaven with the saints to earth}. The word is used of the rapture in 1 Cor. 15:20-23; 1 Thes. 2:19; 3:13; 4:15; 2 Thes. 2:1 Jas. 5:7-8; 1 John 2:28; Mt. 24:3, 27, 37, 2 Thes. 2:8; 2 Peter 1:16; 34.

26 Seven Spirits of God Note: The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols

27 Seven Spirits of God Zechariah 4:2
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: Zechariah 4:10 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. Seven spirits God The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols. Zech: 4:2 Here again this scripture the Prophet Zechariah is linking and identifying and describing what he has saw. Behold the candlestick of all gold: Candlestick: People who carry the light of God. The lamp stand, Spirit of God. (Church) GOLD: Of God. Seal of divinity. Honourable. God’s Glory, Faithful; endurance, holiness that endures. Symbol of Honour; of high valour. Something valuable that endures. Bowl: A measure of something. An object of spiritual and divine outpouring, eating, and personal ablution by authority and judicial figures. By Called a vial in the New King James Version. The vessel for the soul, as the spirit is contained in lamp stands as Ecclesiastes 12:6 says. 1 Samuel 1o:1; Revelation 16. PIPES: to summon or lead by a pipe, to utter (something) shrilly, to signal the arrival or departure of.

28 Seven Spirits of God Ezekiel 1:28
As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that spake. Genesis 9:13 I {Elohim} do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 2 Peter 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 1John 1:5 and 2 Peter 1:4

29 Seven Spirits of God Revelation 1:4
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; Grace: Greek charis, khar'-ece; Further breakdown: chairo, graciousness (as gratifying), of manner or act (literal, figurative or spiritual; especially the divine influence upon the heart, and its reflection in the life; including gratitude): acceptable, benefit, favour, gift, grace(ious), joy, liberality, pleasure, thank(s, worthy). To be "cheerful”, i.e. calmly happy or well-off; especially as salutation (on meeting or parting), be well: farewell, be glad, God speed, greeting, joy(fully), rejoice. Peace: Greek eirene, i-ray'-nay by implication, prosperity: one, peace, quietness, rest, set at one again. Unlocking of the Revelation 1:4 Note: “Seven churches” or assemblies (not building) and “seven spirits” – just as the seven days of the Genesis creation account included the entire creative action of God and even the subsequent rest, so the sevens of this book represent the entirety of the subject at hand. Thus the seven churches represent all the churches , and the seven spirits portray the omnipresent Spirit of God.

30 Continuation: Seven Spirit of God
Him which is, which was, is to come: A phrase combining with the present participle and imperfect of and the present participle of by means of; the one being and the one that was and the one coming, that is, the Eternal, as a divine epithet of Christ. Seven – Greek: hepta, hep-tah' Spirits – Greek: pneuma, A primary number; seven: seven. The number of divine revolutions and cycles. The number of Creator dominance that symbolises world impact and control. The number of sovereignty and absoluteness. (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit: ghost, life, spiritual, ually), mind. Throne - Greek: G2362, thronos, thron'-os From θράω thraō (to sit); a stately seat (“throne”); by implication power or (concretely) a potentate: seat, throne. Note as Christ’s servant we are under bondage to no man; we are priests in that we ourselves can come directly to God in prayer because of Christ’s finished work – we need no other human priests. In Christ I have a celestial citizenship.

31 Seven Spirits of God Revelation 3:1
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. He that hath: Greek; echo, ekh'-o Seven Spirits of God; and the to hold (literally or figuratively, direct or remote; such as possession; ability, continuity, relation, or condition): be (able, possessed with), accompany, begin to amend, can(not), conceive, count, diseased, do eat, enjoy, fear, following, have, keep, lack, go to law, lie, of necessity, need, next, recover, reign, rest, return, sick, take for, tremble, uncircumcised, use. Seven stars: asterh aster, as-tare' a star (as strown over the sky), literally or figuratively: star. Seven Stars of God cover, spread over the abode of God! The seven stars are seven spirits as well: Hebrew: S = Samekh T = Tav A = Alef R = Reish S = Samekh What is the Satanic trinity? Just as there is a Heavenly Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) the Bible reveals that there is also a Satanic trinity {Satan, Antichrist, and False Prophets}. Satan imitates the word of the God the Father . The Beast (Antichrist) imitates the work of the Son in dying, being resurrected, and in subjecting the world to himself. The Bible sometimes refers to Antichrist as The Beast because he becomes the leader of the end-time Beast empire (Daniel 7; Revelation 13). He will be a human being inspired by Satan. The False Prophet imitates the work of the Holy Spirit in glorifying the Son (Antichrist) and in sealing those who trust in him.

32 The unlocking of Seven STARS in Hebrew
The seven stars are seven spirits as well: Hebrew: S = Samekh T = Tav A = Alef R = Resh S = Samekh Insight: Note the Seven Stars supports and lean upon the seven spirits of God within the Godhead. “Just as heaven is lined with rows of stars so the Garden of Eden is lined with rows of the righteous who shine like the stars" (Aggadah {Talmud}.Song 13:55). The Meaning of Samekh The root of the word Samekh means “to lean upon,” “to uphold,” or “to support.” The root is also found in the Jewish concept of semikhah, the laying on of hands upon the head of a sacrificial victim in a blood ritual of the Jewish Temple, which was also a means of consecrating the priesthood (Lev. 8; Exodus 29, etc.). Biblical references to the root occur in Lev 16:21, Deut 34:9, Ezekiel 24:2, and elsewhere. In ancient times, Samekh may have represented a shield. Today, the Jewish Rabbinical ordination ceremony is called a semikhah. The Mystery of Samekh According to the Chaz’l (sages), Samekh is said to represent the endless and ever-ascending spiral of God’s glory in the universe. This cycle is hinted at in the divine (seder) of creation, and is revealed in both the seasons and in the rhythm of the Jewish mo’deim (festivals). The Mystery of Samekh According to the Chaz’l (sages), Samekh is said to represent the endless and ever-ascending spiral of God’s glory in the universe. This cycle is hinted at in the divine (seder) of creation, and is revealed in both the seasons and in the rhythm of the Jewish mo’deim (festivals). Samekh and the Priestly Blessing The letter Samekh represents the number 60, and some of the Jewish sages have noted that this is the same number of letters found in the Birkat Kohanim - the “Priestly Blessing” found in Numbers 6: Also of note is the fact that the Priestly Blessing’s 60 letters are used to form 15 words - the same ordinal number that represents the letter Samekh. Notice that the Gematria for the word “Samekh” is 120 (Samekh+Mem+Kaf), which represents the double portion of blessing given in both the former covenant and the newer covenant of Yeshua. The Gematria of Samekh The letter Samekh is represented as Yod - Hey in the Hebrew numbering system, which is also one of the Sacred Names of God. The Miracle of Samekh The letter Nun, which immediately precedes the letter Samekh in the alphabet, suggests someone who is “bent,” or someone who humbles himself in brokenness and submission to the LORD God.  Putting these two letters together, we have the Hebrew word nes, miracle. Samekh is also the letter for Sukkah, indicating that God’s omnipresence is our support and shelter. God is active in His support for creation (Hebrews 1:3), and we are passive in relying our trusting in His provision and care for our lives. Insight: Note the Seven Stars supports and lean upon the seven spirits of God within the Godhead! Jesus and the Aleph-Bet Printer-Friendly Version The Aleph and the Tav The Messiah Jesus said that He is the Aleph and the Tav, the First (rishon) and the Last (acharon), and the Beginning (rosh) and the Ending (sof): I am the Aleph and the Tav, the beginning and the end, the first and the last (Rev. 22:13). Anokhi aleph v’tav rishon v’acharon rosh vasof When Jesus said this, he was making a direct reference to Isaiah 41:4, 44:6, and 48:12, where Adonai Himself says that He is the First and the Last -- and explicitly declared that there is no other “god” beside Him. Please get a hold of the implication here: Jesus of Nazareth was claiming that He was the one to whom the references in Isaiah pertain. He is the “direct object” of which the Scriptures speak (see below about the role of the direct object marker). Jesus is the Strong Sign Finally, using the ancient pictographs, we can see that Jesus is the “Strong Sign” from Adonai: He is the One who comes in humble, silent strength (Aleph) bearing the Sign of the true Covenant of God (Tav). STARS: ALEF (SILENT STRENGHT) & TAV – Sign of true Covenant and Resh: Beginning, First and Head. Samekh: to Uphold and Support! So the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit with the Seven Spirits of God all embedded within the Godhead together with the seven Stars. Demonstrated the mysteries of the Godhead in that the Word STARS defined in the Hebrew context identifies that R= Resh; Beginning, First and Head connect to A= Alef which is the Silent Strenght and T = TAV which is the true Covenant which then connects to S= Samekh which means to uphold and support. So the complete Godhead of the Self-Existing GOD is uphold and support the entire Creation and Universe with failing at all TIMES! ResH: Meaning: Head of Man. First, Top and Beginning! Resh may be found after a person's name on a gravestone to indicate that they were a Rabbi or to indicate the other use of Rav, as a generic term for a teacher or a personal spiritual guide.

33 Continuation: The unlocking of Seven STARS in Hebrew
The seven stars are seven spirits as well: Hebrew: S = Samekh T = Tav A = Alef R = Reish S = Samekh Insight: Note the Seven Stars supports and lean upon the seven spirits of God within the Godhead. The Gematria of Samekh The letter Samekh is represented as Yod - Hey in the Hebrew numbering system, which is also one of the Sacred Names of God. The Miracle of Samekh The letter Nun, which immediately precedes the letter Samekh in the alphabet, suggests someone who is “bent,” or someone who humbles himself in brokenness and submission to the LORD God.  Putting these two letters together, we have the Hebrew word nes, miracle. Just as heaven is lined with rows of stars so the Garden of Eden is lined with rows of the righteous who shine like the stars" (Ag. Song 13:55).

34 The seven stars are connected to the seven spirits: Rev. 1:20.
Hebrew: S = Samekh T = Tav A = Alef R = Resh S = Samekh Insight: Note the Seven Stars supports and lean upon the seven spirits of God within the Godhead. STARS: ALEF (SILENT STRENGHT) & TAV – Sign of true Covenant and RESH: Beginning, First and Head. SAMEKH: to Uphold and Support! So the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit with the Seven Spirits of God all embedded within the Godhead together with the seven Stars. Demonstrated the mysteries of the GODHEAD in that the Word STARS defined in the Hebrew context identifies a theological meaning: R= Resh; Beginning, First and Head connect to A= Alef which is the Silent Strength and T = TAV which is the true Covenant which then connects to S x 2 = Samekh which means to uphold and support. So the complete Godhead of the Self-Existing GOD has Uphold and Support and Sustain the Entire Creation and Universe without defeat & deficiency at all TIMES. To the King of Ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory forever and ever {1 Tim 1:17.} Amen! Scripture reference: Rev. 1:20 The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels {Spirits} of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. 1 Timothy 1:17 To the King of Ages, immortal , invisible, the only God, be honour and glory forever and ever. Amen.

35 Seven Spirits of God Continuation:

The Message of Revelation 3:1 is that Omniscience and Omnipresence God, who abide and covenant with those who lay aside sin and kneel down before HIM and stays in His Holy presence will be establish and have purpose in their life to demonstrate the Father’s Will whilst living on Earth until He returns. Note every Bride of Christ who has being through the process of sanctification with Purification will endeavour to ask the Father to mould she/he into the steadfastness of the seven spirits of God the Father!!.

36 Seven Spirits of God Throne - Greek: 2362. thronos, thron'-os
Revelation 4:5 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. Throne - Greek: thronos, thron'-os a stately seat ("throne"); by implication, power or a potentate: seat, throne. Lightnings – Greek: astraph astrape, as-trap-ay lightning; by analogy, glare: flash as lightning, to shine, bright shining. Thunderings – Greek: bronte, bron-tay‘ (to roar); thunder: thunder(-ing). Seven Lamps – Greek: lampas, lam-pas‘ Further breakdown: lampo a "lamp": is a vessel of light, light, torch. Prophetically, it symbolises enlightment, instruction, and guidance. Such qualities lead to prosperity. Thus another symbolic application is the Word of the Elohim {Prov. 6:23}. to beam, i.e. radiate brilliancy (literally or figuratively): give light, shine. Seven Lamps: Another word for the seven spirits of God before the Throne in their function as vessels of light and life for the seven churches. Revelation 4:5.

37 Seven Spirits of God Continuation: Fire - Greek: 4442. pur pur, poor
"fire" (literally or figuratively, specially, lightning): fiery, fire. Burnings – Greek: kaiw kaio, kah'-yo to set on fire, i.e. kindle or (by implication) consume: burn, light. The Message in this Scripture is: Just as how the seven lamps of fire of God burns constantly which are the seven spirits of God shines and radiates before the Throne of Adonai, so too must the Bride of Christ radiates and shines in the Will of the Father and in His Words. Seven eyes. We do not have to guess at the identity of the seven eyes. The passage tells us their meaning. They represent the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. They are pictured as seven eyes. I think that there is a reason for this. It is because God wants us to know that He is watching. Do you remember the story of Jonah? He thought that he could run to the Tarshish, but God was there. He told the sailors to cast him into the sea, but God was there. And even in the belly of the whale, God was still there. Go where he might, Jonah could not escape the presence of God. And neither can you.

38 Seven Spirits of God Revelation 5:6
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. Lamb – Greek: arnion, ar-nee'-on a lambkin: lamb. An innocent, pure, and sinless sacrifice designated as acceptable for the appeasement of a deity. Lambs were a common ancient animal sacrifice chosen because of their abject obedience to, and reliance upon, their shepherds. This was displayed in their characteristically mute submission to slaughter. Horn – Greek: kerav keras, ker'-as; a horn (literally or figuratively): horn. An object that symbolises force, strength, virility, and combat. A warrior’s and ruler’s insignia. It was used as an instrument to call to arms and as a battle sound (Joshua 6:5)

Spiritual perception. The presence of eyes in prophetic contexts indicates protection and the supervisory powers of the invisible world. The eyes are referred to as the source of passion, judgment and emotions. The eyes are seen as the revelator of the soul’s contents {Matthew 6:22 & 20:15}. Spirits of– Greek: pneuma God – Greek: theos; a deity, the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate: God, god(-ly, -ward). (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit: ghost, life, spirit(-ual, -ually), mind. Spiritual Songs: are usually prophetic and revelatory hymns (praise songs that rehearse God’s goodness and power, and that celebrate His blessings in our lives). Spiritual Songs are the direct products of the spirit over the human heart and its emotions.

40 Continuation: Seven Spirits of God
Commentary: Revelation 5:6 As John the Revelator gazes at the throne having just heard of the Lion of Judah, suddenly he beholds the slain Lamb which now lives. Jesus is thus seen to be both the Lion and the Lamb. At His first advent Christ came meekly as the “Lamb of God” to die a sacrificial death so that all who trust Him might be saved from the just penalty of their sin {Isaiah 53:7; John 1:29, 36}. However, at Yahweh’s second Advent, He will come as a strong lion to judge the ungodly {Rev.19:11}. Christ comes as deity with seven horns (complete omnipotent power) and seven eyes (complete omniscient knowledge) to receive this book which some have called , “The Title Deed to the Universe”. Note only the Father could give it; only the Son could receive it! Definition: Redeem – “To redeem”, Greek: agorazo, “ to buy at the market”. The public market was the agora. Thus Christ bought us with His blood. Another verb is also translated “redeem,” lutroo (1 Peter 1:18; Luke 24:21), and this word means, “to loose by paying a ransom price.”

41 Seven Spirits of God SEVEN EYES – Revelation 5:6
We do not have to guess at the identity of the seven eyes. The passage tells us their meaning. They represent the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. They are pictured as seven eyes. I think that there is a reason for this. It is because God wants us to know that He is watching. Do you remember the story of Jonah? He thought that he could run to the Tarshish, but God was there. He told the sailors to cast him into the sea, but God was there. And even in the belly of the whale, God was still there. Go where he might, Jonah could not escape the presence of God. And neither can you. Seven Spirits of God

42 Seven Spirits of God Zechariah 4:2
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: The visionary candlestick, all of gold, with its seven lamps, is a figurative representation of the seven-branched golden candlestick in the tabernacle, and differs from this only in the three following additions which are peculiar to itself: (1) That is has its gullâh {bowls}: מְנֹרָה ; cf. Hosea 13:2, and Ewald, 257, d), i.e., a can or round vessel for the oil, which was omitted altogether from the candlestick of the holy place, when the lamps were filled with oil by the priests, "at the top of it" (על־ראשׁהּ); (2) That it had seven mūtsâqōth (pipes) each for the lamps, that is to say, tubes through which the oil poured from the gullâh into the lamps, or was conducted to them, whereas the candlestick of the tabernacle had no pipes, but only seven arms (qânı̄m), for the purpose of holding the lamps, which of course could not be required in the case of the visionary candlestick. The message is: Elohim the Creator God of all the Universe had summon the Prophet to download a declaration and a warning to the people of God. In that the light of the candlestick of gold which is then assist with bowls and his seven lamps with the seven pipes to the seven lamps that there is a complete message in this verse to the God’s Creation that is fullness of the Light of the Seven Spirits of Yahweh will radiates in the life of His people if they choose to have the seven spirits of God operating in their hearts and Minds and then bring about a lifestyle of true holiness in God!

43 Seven Spirits of God The revelation of the Golden Bowl in Hebrew:

44 Seven Spirits of God The Golden Bowl - The Revealer And said unto me, What seest thou? And I said, I have looked, and behold a candlestick (menorah) all of gold, with a bowl (gullah) upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps, which are upon the top thereof: And two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof. Zechariah 4:2-10. Zechariah's vision of the golden menorah is similar to the one God revealed to Moses. The difference is in the surrounding images of the two olive trees and the golden bowl with the seven pipes that fed oil to each of the seven lamps. Here the word translated as bowl is gullah, from the root galal. It primarily means "a round thing." It is spelt with exactly the same Letters as galah (to reveal), only the vowel points differ. In the original menorah, each side-branch had a three bowls, with four bowls on the central branch (Exo 25:33f): Three bowls made like unto almonds, with a knop and a flower in one branch; and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, with a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. And in the [central] candlestick shall be four bowls made like unto almonds, with their knops and their flowers. What is the meaning of the Word delimiters: The Menorah therefore has a total of Twenty-Two Bowls since each side branch has three and the central branch four, yielding 6 x = 22. The text distinguishes these bowls from the gullah standing above Zechariah's Menorah by using a different word, gavia. Rabbinic tradition teaches that these correspond to the Twenty-Two Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the containers (delimiters) of God's creative impulse. I concur, though the details must wait for a later book. For now, the significant point is that the Menorah represents three fundamental aspects of the Bible Wheel: The Seven Branches correspond to the Seven Canonical Divisions of the Bible Wheel. The Twenty-Two Bowls correspond to the Twenty-Two Letters that define the Wheel. The fact that it is a lamp fulfils AV Psalm 119:105: "Thy Word is a Lamp." And now we are able to see with great simplicity and perfect clarity how Zechariah's visions, given over 400 years before Christ, prophesied the complex structure of the entire Bible: The Two Olive Trees are the Two Testaments (Old and New) that testify (bear witness) to the Lord of all the earth. The Two Olive Trees (Testaments) pour the Golden Oil of Spirit-Inspired Books through two Golden Pipes into the Golden Bowl (Gullah). The Golden Bowl is the Revealer, the One Stone with Seven Eyes, the Capstone, the Stone of Division. It is the Bible Wheel that reveals the sevenfold symmetric perfection of the Bible and its supernatural integration with the Twenty-Two Hebrew Letters. The Seven Golden Pipes distribute the Golden Oil (Inspired Books) from each of the Seven Canonical Divisions revealed by the Golden Bowl to the Seven Lamps of the Golden Menorah, to enlighten the whole world with the everlasting Light of God's Word through the power of the Holy Spirit. The image below graphically displays all these ideas. I marked the Seven Lamps with the number of corresponding Books so that we can see the repeated symmetry. Each pair of branches represents divisions with the same number of Books. They are marked by the corresponding Hebrew Letter where they meet on the central branch. When read from top to bottom, the Seven Canonical Divisions spell the Tav Keyword Tehillah which we discussed at the very end of Spoke 22 in the section called "Universal Praise and Worship" (BW pg 374): My mouth shall speak the praise (tehillah) of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever. AV Ps 145:21 This means that the numbers of the Books symmetrically placed on the arms of the Menorah alphanumerically spell the Tav Keyword PRAISE! The Wheel has another message engraved in its body: PRAISE TO THE LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! It is the everlasting declaration of His Praise that will be the joy of every soul redeemed by the Lamb in the new heaven and earth. It is this message, based on the Tav Keyword Tehillah that appears now at the consummation of the age, when we perceive the Divine Unity of the whole body of Scripture. The Bible Wheel fulfils each and every detail of the prophecies of both Ezekiel's Wheels and the Stones and Menorah revealed in the third and fourth chapters of Zechariah. It is the Capstone of the Bible! Who can but cry "Grace, grace unto it!"? This revelation brings us one step closer to the day when "the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea" (Hab 2:14), and when "the LORD shall be king over all the earth" and there shall be "one LORD, and his name one" (Zech 14:9). I pray that day come soon! Come King Jesus! The Menorah therefore has a total of Twenty-Two Bowls since each side branch has three and the central branch four, yielding 6 x = 22. The text distinguishes these bowls from the gullah standing above Zechariah's Menorah by using a different word, gavia. Rabbinic tradition teaches that these correspond to the Twenty-Two Letters of the Hebrew Alphabet, the containers (delimiters) of God's creative impulse.

45 Seven Spirits of God The things hidden or unknown were those which pertained to the future; the method of disclosing them was mainly by symbols. Here in this scripture verse the Prophet Zechariah is declaring and identifying and describing what he has saw in the heavenly vision. Behold the candlestick of all gold: CANDLESTICK: People who carry the light of God. The lamp stand, Spirit of God. (Church) GOLD: Of God. Seal of divinity. Honourable. God’s Glory, Faithful, Endurance, Holiness that endures. Symbol of Honour; of high valour. Something valuable that endures. BOWL: A measure of something. An object of spiritual and divine outpouring, eating, and personal ablution by authority and judicial figures. By Called a vial in the New King James Version. The vessel for the soul, as the spirit is contained in lamp stands as Ecclesiastes 12:6 says. 1 Samuel 10:1; Revelation 16. PIPES: to summon or lead by a pipe, to utter (something) shrilly, high, to signal the arrival or departure of.

46 Zechariah the Prophet of Old!
Seven Spirits of God The message: Elohim the Creator God of all the Universe had summon the Prophet to download a declaration and a warning to the people of God. In that the LIGHT of the candlestick of gold which is then assist with bowls and the seven lamps with the seven pipes to the seven lamps illustrated a complete message to God’s Creation {Mankind} that His fullness of the Light of the Seven Spirits of Yahweh will automatically radiates in the life of His people if they choose to worship Him in Spirit and Truth operating from within their hearts and Minds. This will then resulted in a lifestyle of pure holiness in Adonai for the Bride of Christ! Zechariah the Prophet of Old! Original Word: מְנֹרָה Transliteration: menorah or menorah Phonetic Spelling: (men-o-raw') Short Definition: lampstand. Original Word: מֻצַקְתּוֹ Transliteration: mutseqeth Phonetic Spelling: (moo-tsaw-kaw') Short Definition: piece/pipes, casting. Original Word: גֻּלָּה Transliteration: gullah Phonetic Spelling: (gool-law') Short Definition: bowls, a basin. Scripture superabundantly conforms to its own reiterative command that "every word" must be established "in the mouth of two or three witnesses" (Deut 19:15, Mat 18:16, 2 Cor 13:1). There is nothing but light, Light, LIGHT that drives out any shadow of darkness. The Gates of Heaven are thrust open; the Divine Perfection of the Holy Word shines like the noontime sun in a cloudless sky for all to see. This is the overwhelming power of God's prophetic Capstone. Enigmatic clouds that have shrouded the self-reflective prophecies of God's Word given within the Word itself, such as Ezekiel's Wheels and Zechariah's Stone, simply evaporate in the light of its blazing glory.

47 Thought for Reflection:
Seven Spirits of God Genesis 9:13 I {Elohim} do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 1 John 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. According to Genesis 9:13 I, the self-existing God have chosen to make a covenant between Himself and the occupants of the earth! Covenant: Greek: ber-eeth, a compact (because made by passing between pieces of flesh): confederacy,(con-)feder(-ate), covenant, league. Further breakdown: baw-rar, to clarify (i.e. brighten), examine, select: make bright, choice, chosen, cleanse (be clean), clearly, polished, (shewself) pure(-ify), purge (out). Declaration to Mankind that God is LIGHT, pure light and in Him is no darkness at all. Thought for Reflection: So, does this means that had not mankind sin and fall short they would have emanates the Light of God in their tripartite being always? \Oh lord – I love you always!!!

48 Seven Spirits of God Note with Christ’s Crucifixion and Resurrection mankind no longer have to serve ADONAI from the outer court; they now have access to the Holiest of Holiest where the complete Godhead dwells. Albeit, the fullness of the Ruwach of the Seven Spirits of God which is embedded in the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. The Bride of Christ having this type of access to the Godhead will have total illumination of pure Light in Spirit, Soul and Body. In the Holiest of Holiest that is where the Bride of Christ can begin to look through the eyes of the LORD. Heb. Ayin: the word “Ayin” means – eye; to see, and by extension, to understand and obey. It also means “Divine Providence”. The words of the LORD are pure words;" the Psalmist said, "as silver tried in a furnace, purified seven times" (Ps. 12:6) The "seven golden candlesticks," symbolize "the seven churches" (1:20), to which John was commanded to write. By this, and other symbols which are divinely interpreted, are unfolded the principles on which symbols are used. A candle or lamp stand, supports the light placed on it, as churches are the recipients and dispensers of the light of the Holy Scriptures. They are therefore appropriate symbols of churches. "In the midst of the candlesticks" is one in the form of humanity, surrounded by the insignia of Deity. It is the same appearance that Ezekiel saw, when he had a vision "of the likeness of the glory of the Lord," (Ezek.1:26-28); and before which Daniel fell trembling, Dan.10:5-9. The sublime spectacle was too overwhelming for John's endurance, and, like Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel, his strength turned to corruption. But the glorified Saviour was the same sympathetic being on whose breast John leaned, at the last supper, and he lays his endearing hand on John, and, by soothing words, restores his confidence. He explains the mystery contained in the symbols shown, and enjoins on him to write the things he had seen—symbolic of the things which then were, and of those which were then in the future. As no created resemblance is a fit representative of Deity, Christ is shown to John by the symbol of his own likeness.

49 Seven Spirits of God The Eye of the Disciple...
The way we choose to see is ultimately a spiritual decision. The sages say, "Whoever has the following three traits is among the disciples of our father Abraham; and whoever has three different traits is among the disciples of the wicked Balaam. Those who have a good eye (עַיִן טוֹבָה), a humble spirit (רוּחַ נְמוּכָה), and a lowly soul (נֶפֶשׁ שְׁפָלָה) are the disciples of our forefather Abraham; [but] those who have an evil eye (עַיִן רָעָה), an arrogant spirit (רוּחַ גְּבוֹהָה), and an greedy soul (נֶפֶשׁ רְחָבָה) are the disciples of Balaam the wicked" Numbers 22 & (Mishnah: Pirke Avot 5:22). Most beautiful reference is here made to the attributes of DEITY: "Him who is, and who was, and who is to be," can be no other than the great Pre-existent, who said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," Ex.13:14. The seven Spirits, would seem to be irrelevantly placed between the Father and the Son,—the place always occupied by the Holy Spirit, when spoken of in connection with them,—if they were merely seven angels. Grace would also seem to be irreverently invoked from such,—its presence being implied where it is invoked,—unless they are expressive of the Holy Spirit, in which grace is inherent, and from whom it may be communicated; as it may not be from angels. Seven is a full and perfect number, and it may be here used because in another place "seven lamps of fire burning before the throne" are symbolic of "the seven Spirits of God," (4:5); which, if angels, would be expressly named, as in other inspired explanations,—as they are in that of the stars, 1:20. A burning flame is often used as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. Thus, when God would make a covenant with Abraham, and the victims between which the covenanting parties were to pass, were divided, the presence of God was symbolized by "a burning lamp that passed between those pieces," Gen.15:17. And the descent of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost, was manifested by "cloven tongues, like as of fire," which "sat upon each of them," Acts 2:3. In Zechariah 3:9, we read of the symbol of a stone laid before Joshua, that on it were engraved "seven eyes," which "are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro, through the whole earth," (Zech.4:10);—an expressive figure of God's Omniscience. The same is symbolized in Rev.5:6, by the "seven eyes" of the LAMB. Jesus is often called the Word of God; this is one of His titles, the Holy Spirit and the Word of God work together. It is just the plan of God in all of His Sovereignty to do what He wants. Kingdom Reality!!!1 What is the purpose of human life? Why did God bring man upon the arena of existence? It is that he might glorify his Maker through the cultivation of virtue and the continued perfection of his life. The Talmud abounds in discussions as to what is meant by the perfection of life.

50 Seven Spirits of God The attributes of DEITY: "Him who is, and who was, and who is to be," can be no other than the great Pre-existent, who said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," Ex.13:14. The all seeing, all knowing, all hearing , all powerful God. Most beautiful reference is here made to the attributes of DEITY: "Him who is, and who was, and who is to be," can be no other than the great Pre-existent, who said to Moses, "I AM THAT I AM," Ex.13:14. The seven Spirits, would seem to be irrelevantly placed between the Father and the Son,—the place always occupied by the Holy Spirit, when spoken of in connection with them,—if they were merely seven angels.

The same is symbolized in Rev.5:6, by the "seven eyes" of the LAMB.

51 Seven Spirits of God Synopsis:
The seven Spirits might also correspond to the seven Virtues (Dunamis), or the seven Potencies of God: Courage, Fortitude, Temperance, Justice, Hope, Faith, Charity. Meaning of Greek word Dunamis: to describe dynamic power of the sort that generates and manifests the miracle of God. Matthew 11:20; Luke 1:17; Acts 2:22; Romans 1:16; 1 Corinthians 12:28; 2 Timothy 1:7. Rev. 1:4-8 There can be no true peace, where there is not true grace; and where grace goeth before, peace will follow. This blessing is in the name of God, of the Holy Trinity, it is an act of adoration. The Father is first named; he is described as the Jehovah who is, and who was, and who is to come, eternal, unchangeable. The Holy Spirit is called the seven spirits, the perfect Spirit of God, in whom there is a diversity of gifts and operations. The Lord Jesus Christ was from eternity, a Witness to all the counsels of God. He is the First-born from the dead, who will by his own power raise up his people. He is the Prince of the kings of the earth; by him their counsels are overruled, and to him they are accountable. Sin leaves a stain of guilt and pollution upon the soul. Nothing can fetch out this stain but the blood of Christ; and Christ shed his own blood to satisfy Divine justice, and purchase pardon and purity for his people. 1:4-8 There can be no true peace, where there is not true grace; and where grace goeth before, peace will follow. This blessing is in the name of God, of the Holy Trinity, it is an act of adoration. The Father is first named; he is described as the Jehovah who is, and who was, and who is to come, eternal, unchangeable.

He is the Prince of the kings of the earth; by him their counsels are overruled, and to him they are accountable. Sin leaves a stain of guilt and pollution upon the soul. Nothing can fetch out this stain but the blood of Christ; and Christ shed his own blood to satisfy Divine justice, and purchase pardon and purity for his people. Christ has made believers kings and priests to God and his Father. As such they overcome the world, mortify sin, govern their own spirits, resist Satan, prevail with God in prayer, and shall judge the world. He has made them priests, given them access to God, enabled them to offer spiritual and acceptable sacrifices, and for these favours they are bound to ascribe to him dominion and glory for ever. He will judge the world. Attention is called to that great day when all will see the wisdom and happiness of the friends of Christ, and the madness and misery of his enemies. Let us think frequently upon the second coming of Christ. He shall come, to the terror of those who wound and crucify him by apostacy: he shall come, to the astonishment of the whole world of the ungodly. He is the Beginning and the End; all things are from him and for him; he is the Almighty; the same eternal and unchanged One. And if we would be numbered with his saints in glory everlasting, we must now willing submit to him receive him, and honour him as a saviour, who we believe will come to be our Judge. Alas, that there should be many, who would wish never to die, and that there should not be a day of judgment!

54 Speech and Lashon Ha-Ra
Level: Intermediate • Gossip and slander are serious sins in Judaism • Judaism forbids causing any deception or embarrassment through speech • It is forbidden even if the statement is true • There are some exceptions that allow tale-bearing Speech and Lashon Ha-Ra When non-observant people talk about how difficult it is to observe Jewish law, they usually mention the difficulty of observing Shabbat or keeping kosher or other similarly detailed rituals. Yet the laws that are most difficult to keep, that are most commonly violated even by observant Jews, are the laws regarding improper speech. This is a very important area of Jewish law; entire books have been written on the subject. The Power of Speech Judaism is intensely aware of the power of speech and of the harm that can be done through speech. The rabbis note that the universe itself was created through speech. Of the 43 sins enumerated in the Al Cheit confession recited on Yom Kippur, 11 are sins committed through speech. The Talmud tells that the tongue is an instrument so dangerous that it must be kept hidden from view, behind two protective walls (the mouth and teeth) to prevent its misuse.

The Talmud tells that the tongue is an instrument so dangerous that it must be kept hidden from view, behind two protective walls (the mouth and teeth) to prevent its misuse. The harm done by speech is even worse than the harm done by stealing or by cheating someone financially: money lost can be repaid, but the harm done by speech can never be repaired. For this reason, some sources indicate that there is no forgiveness for lashon ha-ra (disparaging speech). This is probably hyperbole, but it illustrates the seriousness of improper speech. A Chasidic tale vividly illustrates the danger of improper speech: A man went about the community telling malicious lies about the rabbi. Later, he realized the wrong he had done, and began to feel remorse. He went to the rabbi and begged his forgiveness, saying he would do anything he could to make amends. The rabbi told the man, "Take a feather pillow, cut it open, and scatter the feathers to the winds." The man thought this was a strange request, but it was a simple enough task, and he did it gladly. When he returned to tell the rabbi that he had done it, the rabbi said, "Now, go and gather the feathers. Because you can no more make amends for the damage your words have done than you can recollect the feathers."
