“These seven,” which are the eyes of Jehovah, are the seven eyes on the stone in 3:9. The seven eyes of the stone are the seven eyes of Jehovah and also the seven eyes of the Lamb, Christ (Rev. 5:6). Thus, the stone, Jehovah, and the Lamb are one. Christ is the redeeming Lamb and the building stone, and He is also Jehovah. The seven eyes of Christ are the seven Spirits of God (see note Rev. 5:65d and note Rev. 1:45f), indicating that Christ and the Holy Spirit, although distinct, are not separate. Just as a person’s eyes are essentially one with the person, so the Holy Spirit is essentially one with Christ (Rom. 8:9-10; 2 Cor. 3:17). The function of Christ’s seven eyes is to observe and search in order to execute God’s judgment on the universe and to transfuse and infuse all that God is into His chosen people. In His resurrection Christ, as the last Adam, became the life-giving Spirit (1 Cor. 15:45b; John 6:63a; 2 Cor. 3:6b), who is also the sevenfold intensified Spirit. This Spirit is the Spirit of life (Rom. 8:2). Hence, the function of the seven Spirits is to impart the divine life into God’s people for the building up of God’s eternal habitation, the New Jerusalem.
