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 4:5)
In the Book of Revelation we find three mentions of “The seven Spirits of God”. We are able to glean from these three occasions that these Seven Spirits are (1) found before the Throne of God (Rev 1:4) and are called “Eyes of God” (Rev 5:6). Thirdly, Revelation 3:1 speaks of a relationship between the Three Spirits of God and seven stars.
Moreover, in chapter 11 of the Book of Isaiah, we find out the name of six of the Spirits of God. The name of the seventh one isn’t made clear. Here are verses 1-4:
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And 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;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
The Spirit of Wisdom, Understanding, Counsel, Might Knowledge and Fear of the Lord are six. Some surmise that the Spirit of the Lord is the seventh. Does that not sound redundant? For me, sorting the answer out seemed totally feasible through prayer and listening.
Additionally, by reflecting on the referenced attributes of the Lord God the absence of one of His attributes — one that one could argue is the most important — seems to be missing.
Reading further into verse 4 above we see “he shall smite the earth: with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked“. “The breath of his lips” refers to speech or utterance. Speaking or Utterance is an essential Attribute or Spirit of God. Nothing gets done in the entire universe unless God Speaks.
