They would all be like mirages, which appear to be something, as long as you can see them but only too soon the conditions of production change, because earnestness is lacking, and the beautiful and wondrous images melt away into nothingness! They are well-ordered to look at, but since there prevails no earnestness in the producing reason, they are nothing more than highly transient images, for whom it is impossible to have any permanent existence. Withou t such spirit in God things would be very bad with all beings. If you place an ox in front of a plough and he would change his form and shape, for example, into a fish or a bird, would you ever reach a goal with him? Or you wanted to eat a fruit and in front of your mouth it would turn into a rock, - what use would be to you? Or you go somewhere on firm ground and the road under your feet would turn to water, - would even the most solid road be any use to you? See, all that and countless other things are prevented by the divine order as the forth spirit of God! The fifth spirit of God is called the divine earnestness, without it no existing thing would be possible, since it is equal to the eternal truth in God and provide all beings with continuance, reproduction, prospering and ultimate perfec tion. W ithout order no being could have any permanent and stable form and therefore could also never reach a certain destiny. The fourth that again originates from the three, and is called order. ![]() Through it the beings thought of become reality, that they truly exist, - otherwise all thoughts and ideas of God would be, what your hollow thoughts and ideas are, which never are put into action. The third that arises out of love and wisdom, is the effective will of God. This you can see in the form of every being since the more a being is receptive to light, the more developed, defined and beautiful will be its form. The second is wisdom as the light emanating from love. It can be found in all created things since without it nothing is possible. The mystical number seven means the perfect original divine and God-resemblance in every thought originating from Him and in every idea which He placed outside Himself. The primeval great spirits are the very thoughts in God and the ideas arising from them. They figure that the only way He can spread Himself throughout the whole world is to be in Jesus fully and in each of us in smaller measures.Said Raphael: “This is only a corresponding picture of precisely that which I just have told you about the c reation or successive formation of a c omplete heavenly body. ![]() ![]() 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. 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. 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. 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?
