Here in Rev.7:11 everything changes, all who were in heaven around the throne fell face down and worshipped before the throne of God ( notice it doesn’t say He or some other nondescript thing but God for the 1st time) saying: ” Amen! Praise, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power and strength be to our God forever and ever. Then a great multitude stood before the throne and the lamb cried out “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and the lamb. The lamb open 6 seals, then 144000 who were chosen received the seal on their foreheads. The lamb took the scroll from the right hand of Him who sits on the throne ( notice still not calling him God or any other titles). The lamb is and all in heaven say how he is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor and praise but all the creatures in all creation say only to the lamb be praise, honor, glory and power forever and ever, not giving him wisdom, wealth and strength. HE holds the scroll of the 7 seals in HIS hand but even though HE is unworthy like all in heaven and all below it, HE sould be worthy but HE’S not. ch.19 it moves from the 24 elders falling face down to worship God every time the 4 living creatures who stand around the throne ( of the one that is described 1st as “someone sitting in it”) day and night and never stop saying: ” Holy, holy, holy, is YHWH the almighty God, who is, who was, and is to come.” Then the elders say how HE is worthy to receive glory, honor and power because HE created all things there are. As you read from Revalations ch.4 to Rev. Wisdom, strength, power, thanks, praise, honor and glory are the 7 spirits of YHWH. As Paul said, death is swallowed up in victory! Jesus is the one with all power and all knowledge who will conquer all and whose all seeing eye no one can escape. He is the one whose sacrifice redeemed us from sin, and he still bears the marks of His sacrifice in heaven. His is the fulfillment of all of the promises made to Israel He is the Lion of Judah and the Root of David. This passage is a tremendous picture of Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. Joseph Stowell speaking recently on Matthew 1:23, which reads, in part, “They shall call His name Immanuel, which means ‘God with us’.” “God with us” means literally that! He is with our men and women currently in Afghanistan, patients in ICU units in hospitals and their families in the waiting room, children in schools, those in prison, and everywhere else. His power, His perfect knowledge and His presence is everywhere on earth among us. ![]() These seven eyes stands for the “all knowing and all seeing presence of God everywhere.” There is no place on earth that is not under the all seeing eye of God. A good cross-reference on this is found in Zechariah 4:10. The Lamb also has seven eyes representing the Seven Spirits of God which aresent out all over the earth. 2:1): “My heart exalts in the Lord, my horn is exalted in the Lord….” The Psalmist writes (89:17): “For thou art the glory of their strength, and by Thy favor our horn is exalted.” Psalm 112:9-”He has given freely to the poor His righteousness endures forever His horn will be exalted in honor.” God lifts up the horn of His people in Psalm 148:14. With the birth of Samuel to Hannah, she sings a song of Thanksgiving (1 Sam. The horn, secondly, also stands for honor. In the blessing of Moses, Deuteronomy 33:17, the horns of Joseph are like the horns of the wild ox which will push the people, all at once, to the end of the earth. ![]() ![]() In 1 Kings 22:7, we read that Zedekiah, the prophet, made iron horns as a sign of promised victory over the Syrians. In the Old Testament, a horn had two meanings. The seven horns stand for omnipotence, which means having absolute power. As you may recall, the number “seven” is the number of completeness used in the Bible. This Lamb had seven horns and seven eyes. In Revelation, Jesus is called the Lamb approximately 29 times. The important thrust of this passage is the first appearance of the Lamb in John’s vision of heaven. In Revelation 5:6 are these words: “And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.” What are “the seven Spirits of God?” Answer: What are “The Seven Spirits of God” Question: Revelation 5:6 speaks of a Lamb standing…with seven horns and seven eyes which are “the seven Spirits of God.” What, exactly, is that talking about?
