If people don't understand the scriptures, they should ask questions but when it comes to the point of arguement then, that would be so bad. the book of Isa 11: 2 answers it correctly. how on earth can God's Spirit be expressed in the person of an angel, Angel Micheal, Gabriel, Rapheal and so on. See people with complete bible still messing things up. Others like Uriel,Jeremiel,sealtiel were mentioned in noncanonical books of enoch,esdras. It is confirmed that there are 7 arch angels ,but only 3 were named in the canonical books Micheal,Gabriel and Raphael. In the book of tobit that was removed from the bible for political reasons.The Arch angel Raphael told tobit and his son " I am Raphael one of the seven angels that stand in the presence of God".Īlso in the book of Revelation 8:3 John said I saw the seven angels who stand in the presence of God"Ĭonsidering the fact that the book of tobit was writen before the book of revelation does not cofirm the authenticity of the book ?Īlso in the gospel of luke The arc angel gabriel tolg Zechariah,"I am Gabriel I stand in God's presence. The seven spirits of God actually refers to the seven arch angels that stand in the presence of God. This is what happens when people have incomplete bibles. Re: Seven Spirits Of God? by PastorAIO: 2:59pm On Dec 31, 2009 Gaviah, the flower cup, both etymologically and objectively, has been shown to connote a collecting agent, a formative center for new plant growth. These three factors of spiritual development have possibly the same relationship to ruakh hashem representing both their source and their culmination as do gaviah, kaphtor pehrakh flower cup, seed-bearing pods and corolla-flower to the ner, to the filament with its quickening and life-giving elements. If we reflect more closely upon these six aspects of spiritual unfolding, we will find that they actually appear in three phases, or that the six aspects are stated in terms of three pairs:ĭaat veyirat hashem - knowledge and awe of G-d We have noted earlier that Scripture itself defined the light of the menorah as symbolizing the spirit of God, and that the spirit has six distinct aspects. Archaeological evidence, however, including depictions by artists who had actually seen the menorah itself, indicates that they were neither straight nor semicircular but elliptical. The branches are often artistically depicted as semicircular, but Rashi and Maimonides (according to his son Avraham) held that they were straight no other Jewish authority expresses an opinion on the subject. (Parshat Terumah) Exodus 25:31-40 lists the instructions for the construction of the menorah used in the temple: The Torah states that God revealed the design for the menorah to Moses. It is said to symbolize the burning bush as seen by Moses on Mount Horeb (Exodus 3). Lit by olive oil in the Tabernacle and the Temple, the menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish people. It was used in the ancient Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

The menorah (Hebrew: מְנוֹרָה), is a seven-branched candelabrum which has been a symbol of Judaism for almost 3000 years and is the emblem of Israel. Second Temple period stone tablet from a synagogue in Peki'in, Israel.Ĭoin issued by Mattathias Antigonus c. Ī reconstruction of the Menorah of the Temple They were responsible for cleaning it every morning and replacing the wicks and filling the cups with fresh oil.Įxd 25:32 And six branches shall come out of the sides of it three branches of the candlestick out of the one side, and three branches of the candlestick out of the other side:Įxd 25:33 Three bowls made like unto almonds, a knop and a flower in one branch and three bowls made like almonds in the other branch, a knop and a flower: so in the six branches that come out of the candlestick. The seven branched candelabrum was placed in the Temple and the Kohanim were responsible for lighting the menorah very evening. Rev 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. Rev 4:5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. The seven branched candelabrum is representative of the Spirit of God which is seven. The menorah is one of the oldest symbols within the jewish faith.
