“For there is… ONE SPIRIT” (Eph. 4:4). But this one Spirit is also called “the seven Spirits,” that is, the sevenfold, intensified Spirit of God. Seven, in the scriptures, was the most sacred number of the Hebrews. This number is used more often, in the Word of God, than all other numbers, save the number ONE. It is the number denoting spiritual perfection and completeness. In this connection it is interesting to note that in the title “Holy Spirit” the word “holy,” according to Webster, comes from a root meaning “whole”. Hence, the “Holy Spirit” is simply the “Whole Spirit”! The seven Spirits of God, seven denoting spiritual perfection and completeness, are likewise a figure of the “Holy” or “whole” or “complete” SPIRIT. When we understand that the number seven conveys the idea of unity and completeness, rather than diversity, then we can see with unclouded vision that the seven Spirits of God are the sevenfold, intensified Spirit of the Lord – the absolute FULLNESS OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD! This is the fulfillment of the ancient type, the candlestick which stood in the Holy place of the tabernacle in the wilderness, which was made of pure gold (divine nature) and had seven golden lampstands and seven lamps burning pure olive oil, a symbol of the Spirit of God. In the book of Revelation, not only are the seven lamps said to be the seven Spirits of God, but also the seven horns and seven eyes of the Lamb are the seven Spirits. The Lamb has been given all POWER (horns) and the Lamb has full understanding and perception (eyes). George Hawtin has written: “I am powerless to describe the magnificence that is here, – seven Spirits of God blazing as seven lamps of fire, radiating forth the perfect light! As the seven lamps of the candlestick are but one candlestick, so also the seven Spirits are but one Spirit, even the holy Spirit of God. The seven horns of power on the head of one lamb, even the Lamb of God, are but one Spirit of power, and the seven eyes likewise are one Spirit of God. .Wonderful beyond words are the glories portrayed here, but our 2
hearts well nigh stand still as we behold with John the dazzling glory that appeared before him. John saw one sitting upon a throne, and He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne in sight like unto an emerald. A rainbow is one but it has seven colors, and the seven colors of that glorious rainbow represent the sevenfold Spirit of God, even as the seven lamps of fire, the seven horns, and the seven eyes. “The first rainbow that ever appeared to men was a promise and a covenant from God to assure the world of His goodness and mercy. Here again it appears in the glorious age that even now casts its rays of dawn upon us, promising the world that all its inhabitants will be governed in righteousness by the elect whom God has chosen and upon whom shall rest forever the seven Spirits of God. And there was a rainbow round about the throne! What a magnificent promise for a benighted world that from time immemorial has known nothing but unrighteous government! “These are the seven Spirits continually before the throne of God by which the world will be governed in righteousness. These are the Spirits that will rest upon all the sons of God in that great kingdom when the whole world shall be governed in righteousness by that man whom God hath chosen. It was of these seven Spirits that John spoke when he wrote, ‘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.’ Rev. 1:4.” Our Lord Jesus Christ was filled with the Holy Spirit without measure. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the One who has the seven Spirits of God “The things saith He that HATH THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD” (Rev. 3:1). Our Lord Jesus Christ is the great giver, the great shedderforth of the seven Spirits of God (Rev. 5:6). “But the ANOINTING which ye have received of Him abideth in you… the same anointing teacheth you… (I Jn. 2:27). “But yet have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and ye know all things” (I Jn 2:20). The words unction and anointing awaken recollections of the holy anointing oil poured upon the 3
