ANSWER: Reference to the “seven Spirits of God” is also made in chapter one, verse four. Please note in verses four and five, John invokes the blessing of grace upon the seven churches of Asia from three personalities, that is, ‘from Him (the Father), “the seven Spirits,” and (the Son) Jesus Christ. These three personalities are obviously those who make up the Godhead. Clearly then, “the seven Spirits of God” would be symbolic of the Holy Spirit. But why the number seven? This number throughout the Bible symbolically represents completeness or fullness. The phrase in question then, would symbolize the completeness, fullness, and finality of the work of the Holy Spirit in carrying out the will of the Father.
