Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain,
standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures
and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits
of God sent out into all the earth.
Revelation 5:6
The Lamb
(Jesus) had the seven horns and seven eyes, but Revelation said they are the
seven spirits of God going out through all the world.
So does Jesus
have seven horns and seven eyes or is he with something that has seven horns
and seven eyes?
HORNS can
mean worship/altar. Jesus is the perfect
complete sacrifice.
Make a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns
and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze. Exodus 27:2
Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns. This
annual atonement must be made with the blood of the atoning sin offering for
the generations to come. It is most holy to the LORD." Exodus 30:10
Horns in the
Bible relate to the altar where sacrifices occurred. There were four horns, one on every corner of
the altar.
Jesus does
not have seven horns on his head. This
is not literal. Keep in mind seven is
the number of perfection and completeness.
HORNS can
mean power/authority, like an angry ram with horn on his head. Get out of his way. This is saying Jesus has all power.
The EYES
completely see everything going on in the world. Jesus is omniscient, seeing all and knowing
all.
The Seven
Horns & Seven Eyes ARE the Seven Spirits which ARE the Seven Lamps. They ALL mean the same thing.
That means
the seven spirits are the churches which represent Christ, coming in his name
and speaking with his authority according to his word. The churches are going
out into the world and seeing all that happening. The churches are the eyes of God, sacrificing
their lives to bring his message to the world.
The churches have the power!
Since
Revelation is closing the chapter on the temple, it is starting a new chapter
for His churches. The churches now have
the authority and God keeps his eye on them.
