Light of the Sun Sevenfold
LIGHT OF THE SUN SEVENFOLD
“Moreover the light of the Moon will be as the light of the Sun, and the light of the Sun will be sevenfold ... in the day that He Is (HWHY) binds up the breach of the people of Him …” - Isa 30.26.
“What meaneth this?” -- the fool will ask; the answer is the Teacher’s task. The Teacher deciphers this for us in four simple steps, while employing the entire Bible. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God” (Mt 4.4). The way that the Teacher explains the mystery is like this: 1) He identifies the “sun.” 2) He assigns a numerical value to the dimension of the “sun.” 3) He designates the “New Sun.” 4) Finally, He determines the numerical value of the “New Sun.” When the dimension of the “New Sun” is seen to be seven times as large as the dimension of the “old sun,” then we will know that we have read Him right. Does this seem logical to you? First of all, “What is the sun?”
1) IDENTIFYING THE SUN.
In Genesis, Chapter 37, verses nine and ten, Jacob is the “sun,” and Leah is the “moon,” and the twelve Patriarchs constitute the “stars.” Collectively, as you know, “sun, moon, and stars” together constitute the “Heaven.”
A) These chosen people of God, who are the “Heaven,” are also the government of Israel. Jacob was promised to be the continuance of the fulfillment of the “promise to Abram.” He was the leader of the tribe of Israel; therefore, “Heaven” equals the “Government.” The subjects of the government are the congregation of Israel, which followed Jacob into Egypt in 1850 BC. Sixty-six “souls” are listed to accompany him (Gen 46.26), and they were met there by Joseph and his two sons, Manassah and Ephraim. The “seed of his body,” in Egypt, now totals “seventy persons” (Ex 1.5); besides many servants not “of the body.” Thirteen is the number of the “elements of Heaven” mentioned; and the rest made up the “Earth.” Therefore, “Earth” is a symbol to designate the nation of “Israel.” And also, frequently, “Heaven and Earth,” which is Government, and Subjects, symbolizes “Israel.” The context makes very clear whether “Earth” equals only the subjects, or the government and the subjects together. For at times, the “Earth” is in captivity, or else, being oppressed by superior foes, so that, the “Heaven” (Government) seems to be nonexistent.
But this is too easy! Pagan nations are also represented as “Heaven and Earth.” God wants to see if you are interested in Wisdom. “Heaven and Earth” equals Babylon (Isa 13 & 14), and also Edom (Isa 34), and the nation of Israel (Isa 24.19,23; Joel 2.10, 31). But “Rome was not built in a day,” and neither did “Israel” become “Heaven and Earth,” in its final form, in one generation. Look at the development of the nation.
B) Moses mediated the law and the “moon” was changed from Leah into the Levitical priesthood. Samuel anointed David king, and the “sun” was changed from the Patriarch Jacob to the king of the house of David. God’s covenant with the house of David is everlasting. The “stars” were converted from the twelve Patriarchs into prophets when Joseph began to interpret dreams. Now for the proof of all of this theorizing.
C) Joel, the son of Pethuel, foretells the fall of Judah to Babylon in 588 BC by the phrases the “sun grows dark”, and the “moon grows dark” (2.10). If the “sun” is the king, then this would be Zedekiah. And, the “moon grows dark” represents the Levitical priesthood going into captivity for seventy years. “The stars diminish their brightness” depicts the prophets Daniel, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel all going into captivity. The symbolism is holding up pretty good.
D) Later, Joel prophesies about Titus and the Roman army destroying Jerusalem and the temple in AD 70. “The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon to blood” (2.31). Josephus records that Antipas was of the royal lineage (Sun), and was murdered by John of Gischala. “The sun to darkness,” in AD 66. Simon, the son of Gioras, turned the “moon to blood” when he killed a good number of priests, in AD 69. The “stars” are not mentioned in this prophesy because Caiaphas was the last Jewish prophet, being the high priest that year (AD 32), he prophesied of Jesus’ death for the sins of the nation. Our theory is holding up very well.
E) The prophet Zechariah describes the fall of Jerusalem, and the conversion of the Jews, like this: “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of favor and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced” (Zec 12.10). Jesus states that the fulfillment is in the future when Revelation was written (Rev 1.7), which was in AD 67. Zechariah goes on to say that there would be a great mourning (when the temple was destroyed) in the house of David (sun/king), and the house of Nathan (star/prophet), and the houses of Levi (priest) and Shimei (scribe) who equaled the priesthood (moon). Together these constitute the Heaven (Government). He goes on to mention the mourning in “all the houses that remain,” which is obviously the “Earth.” Titus came to subdue the rebels of “Israel” (Heaven and Earth), who had rebelled against God and Caesar. They were mourning when they lost the war, and their temple. This is solid proof, in my estimation, that the “sun” is the king of Israel. But what is the dimension of the “sun?”
2) THE DIMENSION OF THE SUN.
“... and on the cloud sat One as the Son of man ... and the earth was reaped ... And the winepress was trampled outside the city (Jerusalem), and blood came out ... up to the horses’ bridles, for 1600 furlongs” - Rev 14.14, 16, 20.
The Teacher has not disappointed us! 1600 furlongs is the dimension of the “sun,” who was Antipas. 1600 furlongs is 200 miles. The city of Dan is 100 miles north of Jerusalem, and Cela (Petra) is 100 miles south of Jerusalem. These are the boundaries of Israel at the height of her glory. This is “the light of the sun” (Antipas), or the extent of his nation’s greatest borders. The resurrection, described by Iesous, is connected to the fall of Jerusalem, which was most miserable. But now, who is the “New Sun?”
3) THE NEW SUN.
“The key of the house of David I will lay on the shoulder of Him” - Isa 22.22.
“... the government shall be upon the shoulder of Him ...” - Isa 9.6.
“These things says He who is holy ... He who has the key of David” - Rev 3.7.
Iesous is the “New Sun” of the “New Heaven!” He is “King of kings and Lord of lords” (Rev 19.16). He is also our High Priest (Heb 8.1), and so, He is the “New Moon” of the “New Heaven” also. Added to this He is the “Morning Star” (Rev 22.16) or the “New Star” in the “New Heaven.” This makes Jesus the LIVING PROPHET!
“... the light of the Moon (Iesous) is as the light of the Sun (Iesous)” - Isa 30.26.
“Things that are equal to the same thing are equal to each other.” We learned this in freshman Algebra. The Moon equals Jesus, and the Sun equals Jesus; therefore the Moon equals the Sun. All that remains to be seen is the dimension of the “New Sun.” Things are all falling into place for us, which is described, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose” (Rom 8.28).
4) THE DIMENSION OF THE NEW SUN.
“... showed me the great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God ... The city is laid out as a square; its length is as great as its breadth. And he measured the city with the reed: 12,000 furlongs ...” - Rev 21.10,16.
The Teacher did it! The Holy City is 12,000 furlongs, or 1500 miles. This is exactly seven and one-half times the “old sun,” of 1600 furlongs. (Isn’t Jesus sneaky! Did you notice that He promised a “Sun” seven times as big, but produced one seven and one-half times as large. Praise the Lord!) Iesous is the King of the Holy City, and the High Priest, and the Morning Star; or, the Living Prophet. Iesous is the New Heaven. And the New Covenant members are the New Earth. Consider these for the twelve gates:
NORTH EAST SOUTH WEST
Italy (Rome) Parthia Elam Libya
Macedonia (Philipi) Mesopotamia Arabia (Cela) Crete
Pontus Media Egypt (Hierapolis) Sicily (Syracuse)
These form a city approximately 1500 miles square. (See: Acts 2.9-11, where the Jews at the observance of Pentecost are listed to be from these countries.) These areas contained the kingdom of God in AD 70, after Jerusalem fell to Rome. This is where the “New Jerusalem” was set up after the resurrection in AD 77.
5) THE FOUNDING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
The day of the “firstfruits,” under the law of Moses, was the first of fifty days until Pentecost. Jesus began His fleshly ministry, in the “fifteenth year of Tiberius,” which was in AD 28. (28 + 50 = AD 78.) Zechariah depicts a period of terrible mourning (Zec 12.10-14) when Israel “saw Me whom they pierced.” This “sight” was brought about by the “destruction of the temple,” which is recorded for us:
“the Holy Spirit indicating this, that ‘The Way’ (Jesus) into the ‘Holiest of All’ (Heaven) is not yet made manifest (evident) while the first tabernacle (Holy Place - see vs 2) [is still] standing” - Heb 9.8.
“Assuredly, I say to you, not one stone shall be left here upon another, that shall not be thrown down” - Mt 24.2.
The “sight” of “Me whom they have pierced,” is also described in relation to another event. God loves two witnesses! He even describes this more than once.
“For the earnest expectation of the Creation (Heaven and Earth = Israel) eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. For the Creation (Israel) was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected her in hope; because the Creation (Israel) herself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God ... even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the Adoption (resurrection), the Redemption of our Body” - Rom 8.19-23.
“... and they also (Jews) if they do not continue in unbelief ... And so all Israel will be saved ... but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable” (Rom 11.23, 26, 28-29).
How did the kingdom of God continue after the resurrection of all believers? These quotes provide the answer. Jesus, and His disciples, had been proclaiming a resurrection for forty-nine years. Surely everyone had heard the word. And then, to see someone disappear, who had been right beside you a day before, would be shocking! This would bring to your mind the message continually spread abroad for half a century concerning the resurrection of life. Now -- you would believe! -- and mourn. But God had the solution to the problem:
“And I will pour on the house of David (Jesus – Rev 3.7) and on the inhabitants of [New] Jerusalem the Spirit of Favor and Supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced” - Zech 12.10.
Just as Iesous’ disciples were “dipped with the Holy Spirit,” in AD 32; and just as Cornelius and friends were “dipped with the Holy Spirit,” in AD 35; so, in like manner, Israel was “dipped with the Holy Spirit,” in (probably) AD 78.
6) THE NEW JERUSALEM TODAY.
Iesous’ Revelation contains the history of the Holy City until the end of time. Chapters 6 & 8, are the record of Pagan Rome, from AD 78-476. Odoacer invaded Rome, and unlike all the previous invaders, who were nomadic tribes, he came to stay. He even named himself the emperor. In the East, the empire remained in place until Muhammud II overcame them in AD 1453. This is described in great detail in Chapter 9. The Primacy of the Pope, and the “1260 days” of murder and mayhem, are pictured in Chapter 11. The Ten Papal States overthrew the kingdom in May, 1860; and the capital, Papal Rome, in September, 1870. The Millennium is described to be when the Pope falls, which began with the “fall in one day” (Rev 18.8). “One day” symbolizes the year: June 4, 1859 to May, 1860. The “tenth of the city fell,” which was the Papal State of Lombardy; and “in the same hour” the Two Witnesses (God and the Lamb) were raised back up in “Heaven” (Head of congregation). The “same hour” (15 days) is dated from the second battle for Lombardy. Magenta was first, on June 4th, and Solferino followed on June 24th. We add 15 days to June 24th, and the Millennium began in July, 1859 -- and died in July, 1959. Therefore, the “thousand years” is symbolic for 100 years. Now we are in the second Dark Ages, which so many expositors have properly interpreted in the past, and Gog and Magog rule the roost. That is, as long as they remain subject to the Papacy and the Pope (Beast and False Prophet).
Each of these periods contained the New Jerusalem. First, the Roman Empire, and secondly, the Constantinople Empire ruling in conjunction with the Papal Empire, over all Europe, and much of the world, even reaching to the Phillipines. The Millennium spread the joy of the Pope’s fall around the world. Newspapers in France, and England, and the United States, all had lead articles about the great news, which were reprinted in the Millennial Harbinger of 1870.
Gog and Magog, subject to the Pope, have surpassed the extent of the ground covered by the Millennium. Hundreds of nations and tribes now have the Bible, in their own language, in one form or another. New Jerusalem is underground in this territory, and so, “Israel” today is worldwide, and not limited to the Jews of the Middle East. The Bible fails to mention the modern nation of Israel anywhere. God declared them dead! -- and dead they will stay!
“I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah an heir to My mountains ... But you (Judah/Jacob) are those who forsake the Lord, who forget My mountain [New Jerusalem], who prepare a table for Gad (Troop), and furnish a drink offering for Meni (Number) ... You shall leave your name as a curse to My chosen; for the Lord God WILL SLAY YOU, and call His servants by another name (besides Jacob [Israel] and Judah) ... For behold, I create New Heavens and a New Earth; AND THE FORMER SHALL NOT BE REMEMBERED OR COME TO MIND” - Isa 65.9, 11, 15, 17.
“But now in the Anointed Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of the Anointed. For He himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation (in the temple), having abolished in His flesh the enmity (warfare), that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace” - Eph 2.13-15.

No Vote, No War, No Murder
The Curse of Israel
“And giving of Me (YT) young [men] as princes of them, and she (T) will bring them, they will rule in them” – Isa 3.4.
“And more sons of Israel to doing the evil in eyes of He Is (HWHY), and Ehud died. And He Is sold them in hand of Jabin, king of Canaan, who kinging in Hazor, and Sisera, prince of army of him, and this, he dwelled in Harosheth of the Gentiles. And sons of Israel, they cried to He Is, for 900 iron chariots [belonged] to him, and this, oppressing of sons of Israel in strength 20 year. And Deborah, a woman prophetess, wife of Lappidoth, this, judging of Israel in time, the-this” – Judg 4.1-4.
The Outline of Judges.
Pease, affliction, peace, affliction, peace, affliction. This was about 56 percent peace, and 44 percent affliction. The fortune of Israel was continually oscillating. Few of the other prophets of God led in war, except David and Solomon, and the Judges.
Possibly, the judging of Deborah was the Curse of God, because no man was found worthy.
So then, Young Turks and women are to be avoided.
But my real reason for writing to you was expressed in this verse:
“For I will acquit them [members of Millennium] of the guilt of bloodshed, whom I had not acquitted, for He Is (HWHY) dwells in Zion (Third Heaven)” – Joel 3.21.
Alexander Campbell, and the Restoration Movement fulfilled this prophecy. [You never should have left him for Gog.]
What this means is that, “The members of denominational congregations, whose fathers in the faith founded them on murder were guilty of murder. These included: Roman Catholics, Lutherans (Peasants’ Revolt), Anglicans (Civil War in England), Salem Witch hunts in Colonies, and many, many more.”
But when they came out of the denominations, then their murders were forgiven.
I will visit the iniquities of the fathers on the third and fourth generation.
This is one of many “Eternal Truths” in the Bible. But specifically, it refers to the Egyptian Captivity for selling their brother, Joseph, into captivity.
Jacob’s fourth generation was partially born before Jacob led them into Egypt. They continued to be born for 15 more years.
Then, every 50 years, another generation was born. Finally, “the fourth generation” came out at the age of 50 years. This was 215 years in Egypt, despite the Pope and the Johnny-come-lately Bible translations changing it to 430 years. [You know who to believe; see: Gal 3.17.]
NOW TO THE PURPOSE:
“You” who vote, and support worldly governments are guilty of murder.
The US Federal Government was founded on murder and continues to practice murder.
Your State Government was founded on murder and continues to practice murder.
Your City Government was founded on murder and continues to practice murder.
If you vote in this election, you are supporting murder. Most of this presidential debate has been focused on war and mass murder.
He will judge between the nations, and rebuke many people [Joel 3.21]; they will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war anymore [in New Jerusalem] – Isa 2.4.

The 1335 Days; Dan 12.12
On November 2, 1992, I attended the Church of Christ in Collinsville, Illinois. Dan Goddard, the preacher, met me at the door with arms full of papers. He had the announcement of the Don Preston versus Bill Lockwood debate, plus many papers opposing Preston.
During the sermon, which was boring, I was researching every verse I knew about the resurrections. This was continued at home, with the help of Strong’s Concordance, and before my wife called me to dinner, I believed in the First Century resurrection. I was shocked at how simple and dogmatic it is stated.
“… he (Little Horn = Papacy) thinks to change times and law …” – Dan 7.25.
“And he opened the mouth of him in blasphemy against the God, to blaspheme the name of Him (#1), the dwelling (Tabernacle = New Jerusalem) of Him, the [ones] dwelling in the heaven” – Rev 13.6.
A) The Beast (Papacy) announced, “The Pope is the Vicar of Christ on earth.”
B) “The dwelling of Him (coming down)” = New Jerusalem – Rev 21.1-3; denied by the Papacy.
C) “The [ones] dwelling in heaven” (AD 77) = The Preterist resurrection; denied by the Papacy.
However, the New Covenant (New Jerusalem) has a future resurrection too (Rev 14.13, 20.11-15; 21.7-8).
The “Preterists” have been the messengers of God to the Pope’s “3 = 2” people.
But they should not deny the New Covenant.
We have all been taught “3 = 2” in the congregations of our youths.
But, Praise the Lord, Don Preston led me out of Papal darkness.
1) THE RESURRECTION WAS AFTER 1335 DAYS.
(1) “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to everlasting contempt ... ‘How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?’ ... ‘It shall be a Time, Times, and Half a Time ... And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be 1290 Days. Blessed (Resurrected: Mt 25.34) is he who waits, and comes to the 1335 Days” - Dan 12.2, 7-12.
1260 Days: 1258 BC - AD 2.
1290 Days: 1258 BC - AD 32. [30 days added is Zec 11.8 = Agrippa Posthumos (AD 2), Augustus (AD 14), the Lord Jesus (AD 32). One month = AD 2-32.]
1335 Days: 1258 BC - AD 77. [45 Days added is John 16.16; AD 32-77.]
(2) “Then the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of 'He Is', and served the Baals and the Ashtoreths, the gods (MYHLA) of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the people of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook 'He Is' and did not serve Him” - Judg 10.6.
NOTE: To forsake God, and not serve Him, is equal to, “the time the daily sacrifice was taken away.” This verse (Judg 10.6) is dated to be: 1258 BC. I have the chronology of the entire Bible. Periods prophecy, such as, Daniel’s, “ 70 Weeks,” and Micah’s, “Seven Shepherds and Eight Lower Princes,” and Daniel’s, “2300 Days” and the dates of the pagan kings mentioned, and the reconciliation of the kings of Israel and the kings of Judah, and the genealogies supply all the dates.
Second temple finished – 515 BC.
70 Years captivity - (588-18 BC).
502.5 years of kings of Israel – 1090-588 BC.
Samuel judged 20 years – 1110-1090 BC.
450 years of Judges – (1560-1110 BC).
We begin at the end of Judges (1110 BC), and add each judge individually, back to Judges 10.6, which produces a date of 1259 BC. However, the years of judges and kings are not calendar years. They begin in the middle of one year and continue for 12 months; producing: 1259-58.
The end of the prophecy confirmed this date to be 1258 BC.
Grade school reading comprehension and grade school math produce the chronology.
2) IESOUS DATED THE RESURRECTION AGAIN.
“A little, and you will not see Me, because I go to the Father; and again a little, and you will see Me” - Jn 16.16.
Iesous was removed in 45 literal days. This is dated from John 12.35. John 16.16 was the following day. [2 Days + 3 Days in the Grave + 40 Days Seen Alive = 45 Days = A Little.] These words were spoken in AD 32 (3-1/2 years after the 15th year of Tiberius). But then, Iesous did not return in 45 literal days! However, look at conclusion with 45 prophetic days!
[AD 32 + 45 Days = AD 77.]
3) IESOUS DATED THE RESURRECTION AGAIN.
“… and you will have [Great] Tribulation Ten Days ..” – Rev 2.10.
“… in the days I which Antipas was the faithful Martyr of Me …” – Rev 2.13.
Antipas was murdered by John of Gischala in AD 66. Josephus supplied the date, and identified him as of “the royal lineage.”
He was an unbelieving Jew, but was faithful to the prophecy, “the Sun (King) will be darkened.”
THEN – the resurrection was “quickly” (6 times).
This resurrection is, “The second greatest story in the Bible.”
Jesus’ passion for sin and death, and for forgiveness of sin, is the Number One story in the Bible.
“He Is (HWHY) will save the tents of Judah first (AD 77), so that the glory of the house of David [Iesous – Rev 3.7], and the glory of the inhabitants of [New] Jerusalem will not become greater than that of Judah” – Zec 12.7.
AND – I am not a Preterist! I believe all the Bible (Mt 4.4). This includes:
1) “The First Resurrection” (of the martyrs only); dated about AD 1775, before the American and French Revolutions (Rev 15.1 - 16.2; Rev 20.4-6).
2) “The Final resurrection” (of “The Dead Only”; the AD 77 Resurrection was of, “The Dead and the Living”).

The 7 Spirfits of God
SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD: CHART
The “receiving of the Spirits by Prayer,” and the “operations of the Spirits” have been discussed in another file. Now we will look at various lists of the “holy seven,” from the Bible, in side-by-side columns. This will demonstrate the fact that each one of the seven Spirits of God has a multifaceted personality. For instance, “Faith” is represented as the “Teaching of Jesus” (One Faith), and as “the answer to Prayer” (Counsel), and as “Trust” and “Prayer” (Faith). The other seven Spirits will be seen in different lights also.
ISAIAH EZEKIEL GALATIANS EPHESIANS
1) Righteousness Face of Man Love One Body
2) Counsel Face of Lion Faith One Faith
3) Knowledge Face of Ox Joy One Hope
4) Fear of He Is (Yahweh) Face of Eagle Meekness One Dipping
5) Wisdom and Holy Spirit before
Understanding the throne Lonsuffering One Spirit
6) Judgment Jesus on the Peace and
throne Self-control One Lord
7) Might God on the Goodness and
throne Kindness One God
1) The Spirit of Love is represented as “the Face of a Man,” and as “One Body,” and “we (the Body) are the Righteousness of God in Him (Jesus).” If we do not Love man whom we have seen, how can we Love God whom we have not seen?
2) The Spirit of Faith is represented as “the answer to Prayer” (Counsel), and as being “Lion-hearted,” in our Belief in God, and as “One Teaching.”
3) The Spirit of Knowledge is pictured as “the Ox plowing to sow the Seed,” and represented by the Joy of “sowing the Seed,” and as “the Hope of the message of the Seed sown, which was the resurrection in AD 77.” Our Hope today is in the promised resurrection at the End of the World.
4) The Spirit of Forgiveness is the result of Meekness, and the Fear of the Lord; for many are too proud to submit to the One Dipping. The Eagle is the symbol of “Urgency” in the Old Testament, for God and the pagan nations, are predicted to swoop down like an Eagle destroying the enemies of God. Jesus taught that “unless you forgive your brother, you will not be forgiven.”
5) The One Spirit of the Body represents Obedience to One Lord and One God; this is the Spirit of Obedience “on earth.” The seven Spirits before the throne are from God in “Third Heaven;” and also, the Spirit is Longsuffering.
6) Jesus on the throne is the One Lord, and “He is our Peace,” and He demonstrated Self-control in going to the cross, for “He opened not His mouth.” Then, “all Judgment is committed to the Son,”
and in a general list (which follows), Jesus is our Atonement.
7) Our Heavenly Father is the One God on the throne with One Lord, and He has the Spirit of Might, or Strength, to destroy nations and individual men; or to deliver nations and men, and Body and Soul. The “new Body of man is immortal; or, incorruptible.” God is also the Spirit of Adoption; this is into the Body on earth first, and then, into Third Heaven finally.
Now we will observe another chart of parallel lists of the seven Spirits of God.
2 PETER REV 5 REV 7 GENERAL TERMS
1) Love Blessing Blessing Love
2) Faith Honor Honor Faith
3) Knowledge Glory Glory Knowledge
4) Brotherly
Kindness Power Power Forgiveness
5) Perseverance Wisdom Wisdom Wisdom
6) Virtue and
Self-control Riches Thanksgiving Atonement
7) Godliness Strength Might Adoption
By means of these two charts we have brought together some of the various lists of the seven Spirits of God. These seven Spirits of God are represented by the symbol, “Lampstand.” See: Zechariah 4.2 and Revelation 1.12, 20; 2.5; 11.4.
[In Revelation 11.4, “two Lampstands” is an error in translation, and should read: “the two Olive Trees and (7) Lampstands BOTH standing before the God of the earth.”]
For additional lists, see: Ephesians 6.14-18, Jude 25.
