Well, I don’t buy that because it’s not in the Bible! The reason many Christians have accepted this is that they don’t understand the manifestations and capabilities of the Holy Spirit. One time, a highly-revered minister (whom I also hold in very high regard) said something many believers have accepted: that only Jesus didn’t have the Holy Spirit by measure, but every one of us born again, Spirit-filled believers has the Spirit by measure. The “Seven Spirits of God” therefore implies a “completeness” or “fullness” of the Holy Spirit, and this fullness of the Spirit is what every Christian ought to have, for it is our birthright. And they kept the feast seven days and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the manner.' Nehemiah 8:18 KJV copy save Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in. ![]() To start with, the number Seven (7) is regarded by the Hebrew people as a sacred number, and throughout the Bible it is used to symbolize perfection, fullness, abundance, rest, and completion. Nehemiah 8:18 chapter context similar meaning 'Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. The Bible does show that there are “Seven Spirits of God.” It however behooves us to understand exactly what this means and how it applies to us in the New Covenant. However, since the Bible does not give any details about the seven spirits of God, we cannot be dogmatic about them.Seven Spirits of God” for the first time, the first question that will likely come up in your mind is, Does this mean God has seven Holy Spirits? Throughout the Bible, the number seven is symbolic of perfection, and saying that the Holy Spirit consists of seven spirits could be a way of representing that perfection. The most widely held and plausible view of the seven spirits of God is that they are representative of the Holy Spirit in some way. Isaiah said: "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 the fear of the Lord." Some scholars take this to possibly mean that the seven spirits of God are the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Knowledge, and the Spirit of the Fear of the Lord. Another view takes a verse from Isaiah 11:2 and uses it to enumerate and name the seven spirits of God. One view is that the seven spirits are indeed angels of some kind. John refers to them as a literal entity, similar to the angels or the cherubim. That is, they are more than simple metaphor. However, there is no indication that these seven spirits of God do not exist. You will recall the chain we discussed in Revelation 1:1. The message comes from God, from the very throne of Heaven. The gospel is a message to mankind on all the earth. These descriptions are mysterious and heavy with symbolic meaning, as is much of the Book of Revelation. The seven spirits are before the throne, and are 'sent out into all the earth' (Revelation 5:6). They are also said to be "sent out into all the earth" and they are equated with the "seven eyes" of the Lamb of God. We know from the references that mention the seven spirits that they are "held" by Jesus Christ, and that they are likened to seven lamps burning near, or in front of, God's throne. It is not possible to say with complete certainty what or who the Bible is referring to when it describes the "seven spirits of God" which are before God's throne (Revelation 1:4 3:1 4:5 5:6). The seven spirits of God – Who or what are they?
