More about the Godhead in Isaiah 10-11 and Revelation 1 & 3-5(compiled and formatted by Bill Stevenson)
Note:The following Bible study was in response to an e-mail friend’s statement that there were seven Spirits of God” and I didn’t remember such. The Scripture below is from the Lockman Foundation’s Amplified Biblewith my emphasis of deity titles and bolding.
Revelation 3:1-31 “And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Sardis write:These are the words of Him Who has
the seven Spirits of God [the sevenfold Holy Spirit]
and the seven stars:‘I know your record {and} what you are doing;you are supposed to be alive, but [in reality] you are dead.2 Rouse yourselves {and} keep awake,and strengthen {and} invigorate what remains and is on the point of dying;for I have not found a thing that you have done [any work of yours]meeting the requirements of My God {or} perfect in His sight.3
So call to mind the lessons you received and heard;
continually lay them to heart {and} obey them, and repent.
In case you will not rouse yourselves {and} keep awake {and watch},
I will come upon you like a thief,and you will not know {or} suspect at what hour I will come.
’”Revelation 4:2-52 “At once I came under
the [Holy] Spirit's power
,and behold, a throne stood in Heaven, with
One seated on the throne
!3 And He Who sat there appeared like [the crystalline brightness of] jasper and [the fiery] sardiusand encircling the throne there was a halo that looked like [a rainbow of] emerald.4 Twenty-four other thrones surrounded the throne,and seated on these thrones were twenty-four elders(the members of the Heavenly Sanhedrin),arrayed in white clothing, with crowns of gold upon their heads.5 Out from the throne came flashes of lightning and rumblings and peals of thunder,and in front of the throne
seven blazing torches burned
,
which are the seven Spirits of God [the sevenfold Holy Spirit]
;”Isaiah 10:33-11:533 “[But just when the Assyrian is in sight of His goal] behold, The Lord, The Lord Of Hosts,
will
lop off the beautiful boughs with terrorizing force;the high in stature will be hewn down and the lofty will be brought low.34 And He
will
cut down the thickets of the forest with an ax,and Lebanon [the Assyrian] with its majestic trees
shall
fall by The Mighty One,{and} mightily.1 And there
shall
come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David's father],and a Branch out of his roots
shall
grow {and} bear fruit.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
reverential
{and}
obedient fear
of The Lord
[the 7 aspects of the Holy Spirit
]
--3 and
shall
make Him of quick understanding,{and} His delight
shall
be in the reverential{and} obedient fear of The Lord.
