7 Spirits of God

  The Seven Spirits of God”. (Revelation 1:4, 5) Since there is only ‘one’ Holy Spirit, God has revealed to Timothy II that the “Seven Spirits” are actually seven ‘Attributes’ of the Holy Spirit.  The Fear of the Lord, Wisdom, Knowledge, Understanding, Counsel and Might. (Isaiah 11:2) The seventh is in the New Testament. It is Truth: (John 15:26) This is because the Holy Spirit was only partially revealed and imparted prior to Jesus’ coming to earth. After He left the earth, Jesus sent the seventh Spirit (Attribute) from God the Father. (John 1:17, 15:26)

“The Seven Spirits of God” is the Holy Spirit. They are the ‘Seven Attributes’ of the Holy Spirit. Revelation 1:4-5 “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. And from Jesus Christ…” ‘Six Attributes’ of the Holy Spirit are identified in Isaiah. Isaiah: 11:2 “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.” The ‘Seventh Attribute’ of the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, was identified and manifested by Jesus.B“The Seven Spirits of God” is the Holy Spirit.
