Revelation 5:6 Revelation 5:6 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. The apostle did not slight, nor neglect the elders counsel, who said unto him, Behold. And beheld, and lo that is, I looked and saw In the midst of the throne, and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb. The Lord our Passover, who was sacrificed for us. \ Christ standing in the midst of the throne, signifieth, first, that he is equal with God the Father, \ and partaker of the same glory, dominion and authority with the Father. \ Secondly, that Christ is exalted on the right hand of God, \ and so St. Stephen saw Jesus Christ standing on the right hand of God. \ Christ’ s standing in the midst of the four living creatures, and twenty four elders, doth signify his gracious presence in the church, (called the throne of God,) \ with his ministers, (called pastors, teachers, and elders,) \ to present their persons, prayers, and all their spiritual services and sacrifices at the throne of grace, with his incense unto the father with acceptance. And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar, which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God, out of the angels hand. \ "a Lamb as it had been slain" to wit, the crucified living Lamb of God, the Son of God. See Revelation 1:18. "Having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth" Seven horns that is, Christ’ s irresistible power, whereby he is able to push down all his enemies, and to break in pieces the horns of the ungodly. Search those scriptures. \ God came from Teman, which was a famous city for wise men that belonged to the Edomites of Esau’ s race, whom God destroyed. Compare Jeremiah 49:7-20 with Ezekiel 25:12-14 And the holy one from mount Paran which was the place from whence JEHOVAH shined forth and manifested his glory unto Israel, \ He had horns coming out of his hand, and there was the hiding of his power. Then God went out for the salvation of his people. \ Read the whole chapter. \ Christ is the Almighty, \ all power in heaven and earth is given unto him. \ As his omnipotency is signified by seven horns so his omnisciency is signified by seven eyes See the exposition of Rev 1:14; Revelation 2:18 (SEE KNOLLYS: Revelation 1:14 SEE KNOLLYS: Revelation 2:18) his eyes are like a flame of fire.  All things are naked and open unto his eyes, \ so is his omnipresence by the seven spirits of God sent forth into all the earth These seven are the eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth. \ The mystical number seven, signifies, first, the variety of Christ’ s spiritual gifts. \ Secondly, the fullness of his grace. \ Thirdly, the perfection of his mediatorial offices, \ for the perfecting of the saints. \ For God gave not the spirit by measure unto Christ, \ but in all fullness. \ See Revelation 1:4; Revelation 3:1.
