It is ridiculous to say that the eyes are separate from the person himself. When someone looks at you, he looks at you with his eyes, and when his eyes look at you, he looks at you. Just as a person and his eyes are one, so Christ and the Spirit are one. According to doctrine, the Spirit and Christ are two separate individuals, but according to experience, They are one. Being the Holy Spirit, They are not separate from Christ. We all must see that the seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God and of the Lamb, are absolutely for God’s building. Then we become the transformed material for the building up of the New Jerusalem. By infusing us with His essence, He makes us the same as He is and, by so doing, He transforms us from being natural into being the same as He. The seven eyes of Christ look at God’s chosen people, enlightening, searching, judging, purifying, and refining them, and ultimately infusing them with whatever He is. As a result of the transfusing of the seven eyes of Christ, the New Jerusalem will be built up. The book of Revelation is not mainly for searching and judging it is for producing and building up the New Jerusalem, the ultimate issue of this book. Through this process, the Lord builds us together and carries out God’s building. The natural things are purged, and the divine things are transfused into us. Not only is some element of ourselves purified, but some element of Him is transfused into us. Whenever we are searched, purged, purified, refined, and judged by the flaming eyes of Christ, we gain something of Him. How can the Lord’s divine essence be wrought into our being? By the transfusing of His seven eyes. Although these eyes are for searching, judging, refining, and enlightening, they are ultimately for transfusing us with His essence, His divine element.
When we come to the book of Revelation, we see very clearly that the seven lamps are the seven eyes of the Redeemer, and that the seven eyes of the Redeemer are the seven Spirits of God for the building of God.Īccording to the book of Revelation, the Lord Jesus has seven burning eyes. These seven eyes are the seven lamps for God’s building. Christ, the redeeming Lamb, is also the stone on which are the seven eyes. The engraving of the stone was its being dealt with by God’s righteousness on the cross for our redemption. This stone was engraved in one day for the iniquity of God’s people. Zechariah 3:9 says, “For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.” This verse reveals that the seven eyes are not only the seven eyes of the Lord, but also the seven eyes of the stone.
