Christ as the Lion-Lamb revealed in Revelation 5 has seven eyes and seven horns – the horns signify strength in fighting, and the Lord’s seven eyes are for observing and searching; we need to open the divine Flame to come and judge and purify us so that we may be the Lord’s shining testimony, the golden lampstands in this dark age.
Lord Jesus, we open to You as the divine Flame! Come and burn in us. We open to You every avenue of our inner being. Look into us. Search us, expose us, and remove by judging anything that does not match You! May we be intensely living and intensely shining! Amen, Lord, make us the golden lampstands in reality, the shining testimony of Jesus today! Amen!
What a wonderful Christ we have, and how happy and encouraged we are to read and pray over the book of Revelation to see a revelation of Jesus Christ and the things that are about to take place according to God’s economy!
May we open to the Lord as we come to His word, and may we be in spirit to see a revelation of Christ, even to see Jesus Christ Himself to be infused with Him and become the same as He is for the testimony of Jesus, the shining golden lampstand.
What He is after is the New Jerusalem, and He will obtain it; John saw the New Jerusalem, and in God’s eyes, this is done. We are now in the process of becoming the New Jerusalem.
As long as we exercise our spirit and come to the Lord in His word, as long as we pray-read the Word of God and do not close the Bible, thinking we know what it talks about, we become what we read. It is crucial that we are in spirit when we come to the Lord in His word.
Even as we read this or listen to this, may we touch the Lord in spirit.
Oh Lord Jesus! We want to gain more of You! We want to touch You! We open to You! May You touch us! May You enlighten us! May You gain what You are after in us! May You gain in us the opening and cooperation You need today! Amen!
When we exercise our spirit and are in spirit as we contact the Lord and even as we live our Christian life, we receive vision after vision, and the Lord has a way to bring us on with Him.
He is the Lion-Lamb – He is both the Lion of the tribe of Judah to judge the enemy, destroy him, and terminate anything negative, and He is also the Lamb of God who was slain for us to redeem us.
May the Lord enlighten the eyes of our heart for us to see who Christ is. May we realise that He is now in the stage of intensification, being intensified sevenfold as the Spirit to carry out God’s economy in an intensified way and to produce the overcomers! Amen!
Christ as the Lamb has Seven Horns for Strength in Fighting and Seven Eyes for Searching and Observing

The description of Christ as the Lion-Lamb in Revelation 5:5-6 is very peculiar, showing us that the book of Revelation is a book of signs, unveiling us to see Jesus Christ.
John wept much, seeing that no one was qualified to open the scroll and its seals, but he was told not to weep, for the Lion of the tribe of Judah is qualified to do this.
When he turned to see this Lion, expecting to see a mighty Lion ready to fight, John saw a Lamb standing as having just been slain. Wow!
The Lion of the tribe of Judah is a Lamb standing as just having been slain; He is the redeeming Lamb of God. It is not a sheep, which can be menacing, but a lamb, so pure and tender.
Somehow, the Lord Jesus is both the Lion of the tribe of Judah and the Lamb who redeems us. And this Lamb has seven eyes and seven horns. Wow, what kind of Lamb is this?
The Lamb has seven horns; according to the Bible, horns signify strength in fighting (Deut. 33:17).
On the one hand, Christ is the Lamb of God who offered Himself for our sins; He is without spot or blemish, and He was quiet before those who unrighteously put Him to death. On the other hand, Christ has seven horns for fighting.
He is our fighting Redeemer. His fighting is complete and perfect in God’s move, as signified by the number seven. He has fought for redemption, and He has obtained a perfect and all-inclusive redemption. Hallelujah!
Now we have a complete and perfect redemption, for Christ as the Lamb with seven horns, has fought and won the victory, and redemption has been accomplished! Praise the Lord!
Christ as the Lamb also has seven eyes; eyes are for observing and searching.
As the redeeming Lamb, Christ has seven observing and searching eyes for executing God’s judgment upon the universe to fulfil God’s eternal purpose, which will be consummated in the building up of the New Jerusalem. Amen!
Each one of us human beings has a pair of eyes, just two eyes; when we look at someone, they know by our countenance what we want from them or what our feelings are toward them.
When we look at someone’s face and behold his eyes, we realise what is on their heart, how do they feel, and what do they want.
Christ as the redeeming Lamb of God has seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth (Rev. 5:6).
His eyes are the seven Spirits for observing, searching, infusing, transfusing, and judging.
In Zechariah 3:9, we see that Christ is the stone, even the topstone (5:7) with seven eyes for God’s building. Christ’s seven eyes are for God to gain His building, which is the New Jerusalem.
The seven eyes of Christ are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth; the seven Spirits run to and fro through the whole earth (Zech. 4:10).
He is observing the situation in the local churches. He is judging what needs to be judged in the church, for judgment begins at the house of God (1 Pet. 4:17).
He wants to gain the building of God, which is not something physical nor is it a mansion in heaven but the New Jerusalem, a spiritual corporate entity composed of God and man, even the processed and consummated Triune God united, mingled, and incorporated with the redeemed and transformed humanity.
For Him to gain His building, for Him to gain what He is after and fulfil His eternal purpose consummating in the New Jerusalem, Christ has seven eyes to observe and search, even judge and purify, so that He may infuse Himself into His people and carry out His economy.
We can testify that many times we have experienced the seven eyes searching and observing us, and we inwardly stopped from saying certain things or did not go to certain places because of the seven eyes searching and observing us, even judging and purifying us.
Lord Jesus, unveil us to see Christ as the Lion of the tribe of Judah who is also the Lamb of God slain for us. May we see and enjoy the redeeming Lamb of God who has seven horns and seven eyes. Wow, Christ is the redeeming Lamb who has horns for fighting! We praise You, our fighting Redeemer! Praise You for Your fighting, which is perfect and complete in God’s move! You have won the victory and redemption has been accomplished, praise the Lord! May we see the Lamb with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth! Wow, Christ has seven eyes for searching and observing, judging and purifying, infusing and transfusing! Amen, Lord, we open to You today. May we allow Your seven observing and searching eyes to operate in us to execute God’s judgment and infuse God into us to fulfil God’s purpose, which will be consummated in the building up of the New Jerusalem! Praise the Lord, the seven eyes of Christ are running to and fro all over the earth to fulfil God’s eternal economy!
Open to the Lord’s Seven Eyes to be Burned, Judged, Purified, and Infused to be His Shining Testimony Today

In the Old Testament, God worked and was expressed mainly as Jehovah, but He could not come into His people. In the Gospels we see the Lord Jesus Christ as God embodied and expressed, still outside of man.
Then, in Acts we see how Christ as the Spirit entered into man and now works and lives in man. In the Epistles, we see how the Spirit regenerates, renews, transforms, and conforms man to the image of Christ.
And in the book of Revelation, we see the seven Spirits of God, which are the seven eyes of the Lamb, who do all the work for God to accomplish God’s economy, produce the overcomers, bring in the end of the age, carry out God’s judgment, and consummate the New Jerusalem. Amazing!
Today Christ as the Lamb with seven eyes; He is the Executor of God’s New Testament economy to produce and build the churches, the testimony of Jesus (Rev. 1:9-12).
We need to open to the Lord’s seven eyes to be burned, judged, purified, and infused with Him to be His shining testimony on earth today, the golden lampstand.
This burning, judging, purifying, refining, and producing Spirit is the lamps upheld by the lampstands, the churches.
For us to experience the Lord’s seven eyes we need to not only be a Christian but also be in the local churches, for the Spirit works in and for the churches. The churches shine through the lamps and these lamps are the Spirit, the real testimony.
May we open to the Lord’s seven eyes today, that is, may we open to the seven Spirits of God which are for judging, purifying, refining, and bringing forth the churches.
If we don’t allow the seven Spirits to judge and purify us, we cannot be infused with the Lord’s shining element and we cannot be the shining testimony of Jesus.
But if we allow the Spirit to purify us and refine us, He will shine into us, He will expose and judge anything that does not match Him, and He will infuse us with what He is to make us intensely living and intensely shining, for us to be the testimony of Jesus.
May we realise that, the more we let the Spirit purify us and refine us, the more He will shine through us, and this shining is the testimony of the churches.
An example of the Lord’s shining and burning to expose, judge, purify, and infuse the churches is seen in the seven epistles to the seven churches in Asia in chapters 2 and 3 in Revelation.
Christ first unveils to them what He is, then He appreciates certain things in that church; after that, He shines and exposes the real situation and the problem in the church, and then He offers Himself as the reward to the overcomers, even as the solution to their problems in a specific way.
The Lord’s light is specific and particular, not general; if we open to the Lord’s seven eyes today, He will shine in a particular aspect to expose a particular problem in us, and we simply say Amen to His shining.
We may be invited by some friends to go somewhere, and when we are in that place, we realise that this is not a place for us as Christians to be; no one needs to tell us that, for there’s the seven Spirits operating in us, and the Lord’s seven eyes are shining, burning, judging, and exposing.
Sometimes we just go about our day, taking care of the things we need to do, and suddenly we have an inner searching, a judging that is inward, and we realise that we need to turn to the Lord and repent. The seven Spirits are in us, operating in us all the time.
If we let the Spirit purify us and refine us, He will shine through us, and this shining will be the Lord’s shining.
May we learn to open ourselves and allow Him, even welcome Him, to shine in us and through us.
As the Lord shines on us, as we behold the Lord’s seven eyes and let Him search us, refine us, judge us, purge us, purify us, and infuse us, we are both purified and infused with Christ, and we become His shining testimony.
As He shines within us and also through us, and this shining is the testimony of the church, the testimony of Jesus.
The testimony of Jesus is not us trying to express God; it is the shining of the seven Spirits from within us, the believers in the churches.
By His mercy, may we open to the Lord as the divine Flame to come and judge.
May we open to Him to come and purify us, even telling Him that we’re open, that we open every part of our being for His enlightening and searching.
We should not shut ourselves up and hide from Him when we see that He is shining; rather, we should let Him shine upon us and from within us to enlighten every avenue and every corner of our being.
In this way, we’re exposed, purged and purified, for we behold the Lord and the Lord’s seven eyes are operating in us to make us the shining testimony of Jesus.
Lord Jesus, we open to Your seven eyes shining on us to search us and judge us. Dear divine Flame, come and judge. Come and purify us. Come and refine us so that You may produce the golden lampstand! Amen, Lord, by Your mercy we open to You! We open our being to You. We open every avenue and part of our being to Your shining. Enlighten us. Search us within. Expose us. We want to be enlightened by You and exposed in Your light. Oh Lord, we do not want to close our being or hide from You. Come, oh seven Spirits, come, and do Your recovery work! Do Your sanctifying, judging, and burning work. Work in us to expose what does not match God and remove by judging anything You expose. Infuse us with Yourself. Shine Yourself into us. Shine in us and through us. Shine upon us and shine from within us! Make us the shining testimony of Jesus in this dark age! May we be the shining testimony of Jesus, having the shining of the seven Spirits from within all the believers in the churches! Amen!

The Conclusion of the New Testament, pp. 4243-4245, by Witness Lee
Dear brother, the seven Spirits are the seven eyes by which Christ expresses Himself.
The more we let the Spirit purify us and refine us, the more He shines through us, and this shining is the testimony of the churches.
May we open ourselves and welcome Him today and every day to enter into our being to refine, judge, purge, and purify us to make us the shining testimony of Jesus.
The intensified Christ as the redeeming Lamb also has 7 horns – for perfect and complete fighting in God’s move! And, He has seven eyes are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
They run to and fro thru the whole earth, observing, searching, for executing God’s judgment upon the universe to fulfill God’s eternal purpose, which will consummate in the building up of the New Jerusalem.
Our greatest need today, instead of running, shutting ourselves up, and hiding from Him is to open ourselves and welcome Him every day to enter into our being to refine, judge, purge, and purify us.
Otherwise, as the church and His Lampstand, we have no shining as the testimony of Jesus.
Aaameeen! We open every avenue of our being to Your seven eyes Lord! Praise You dear Divine flame, come and judge, come and purify, come and refine! O Seven Spirits of God, Burn us! Search us! All the churches are for Thee!
Yes,the lampstand with the seven lamps, Spirit or eyes, is the church with the all-inclusive Triune-God. Therefore, to be searched, judged, and seen by the Lord, we need to attend church meetings. Without having this or without fellowship, there would not be blessings with His rich supply of grace.
The most important point that impressed me today is that we are the cause of His happiness or not happiness. If we are in the right position in His church, He is happy, if not He will not be happy. Therefore, whenever we come to Him, the church:
1) we need to be poor in spirit and
2) pure in our heart.
Praise the Lord for His mercy upon us so that He can accomplish His eternal purpose, economy fully. Amen
Today, we see that we should welcome the observing & searching of the sevenfold Spirit. We should desire to be exposed, purged & purified.
The burning, searching, enlightening & observing reality of Christ is in the local churches. Therefore, we need to say:
Amen. Yes Lord gain your testimony today.
Dear brother, The testimony of Jesus is the shining of the seven Spirits from within all the believers in the churches. By His mercy, we need to be open to Him.
Every day, we need to tell the Lord, “Come. I am open to You. I open every avenue of my being to You. Enlighten me, search me within, and expose me. I want to be enlightened by You and exposed in Your light.” “Lord, we are open. Come and shine upon us, and shine from within us and enlighten every avenue and every corner of our being. We desire to be exposed, purged, and purified.”
Amen Hallelujah
