And the fact that there are seven horns, eyes, and spirits simply expresses numerically the idea of fullness and perfection.
Jan 4, 2022 · The seven eyes speak of the Spirit’s (and the Lamb’s) omniscience, and the fact that He is sent into all the earth speaks of His omnipresence. Once we identify the “seven spirits” as the Holy Spirit, the question remains, why are there “seven” of Him?
