Question: 

Do you know anything else about the 7 spirits of God in Revelation 4:5, or do you have any further explanation of them?

Answer:

Thank you for your question, I’m sure you’re already aware that the book of Revelation is a highly symbolic book. Since this is the case it is vital that one understands the symbolism before attempting to interpret the book. In Jewish literature the number seven generally denotes perfection. Interestingly enough, the number seven is used over fifty times in Revelation. In 4:5, the “seven spirits of God” refers to the Holy Spirit in his perfection, not seven literal spirits. I hope this answers your question.
