(New Testament | Revelation 5:6)6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. We discussed this verse in Sunday School today and no one was able to shed any light on who or what the seven Spirits of God are or what they do, or what is their relationship to the Spirit of God mentioned in many other places throughout the scriptures? . This is the only verse that I know of in the scriptures that refers to God having more than one Spirit. Is there anyone here who can shed light on these questions? Also, is there any significance in the fact that in this verse, Spirits is spelt with an upper, rather than a lower, case S?
