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.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 6 is found in chapter 5 of Revelation. John sees a Lamb standing as though slain in the midst of the throne and the living creatures. The contrast between the announced Lion and the Lamb actually seen is theologically decisive: messianic victory is manifested through sacrifice. The seven horns and seven eyes represent fullness of power and knowledge, associated with the seven spirits of God sent throughout the earth. When he takes the scroll, the living creatures and elders sing a new song connecting his worthiness with having been slain and having purchased for God people from every nation.

Und ich sah, und siehe, mitten zwischen dem Stuhl und den vier Tieren und zwischen den Ältesten stand ein Lamm, wie wenn es erwürgt wäre, und hatte sieben Hörner und sieben Augen, das sind die sieben Geister Gottes, gesandt in alle Lande.
Y miré; y he aquí en medio del trono y de los cuatro animales, y en medio de los ancianos, estaba un Cordero como inmolado, que tenía siete cuernos, y siete ojos, que son los siete Espíritus de Dios enviados en toda la tierra.
Vi en medio del trono y de los cuatro seres vivientes, y en medio de los ancianos, a un Cordero de pie, como sacrificado. Tenía siete cuernos y siete ojos, que son los siete espíritus de Dios enviados a toda la tierra.
Et je vis, au milieu du trône et des quatre êtres vivants et au milieu des vieillards, un agneau qui était là comme immolé. Il avait sept cornes et sept yeux, qui sont les sept esprits de Dieu envoyés par toute la terre.
Poi io vidi, ed ecco, in mezzo del trono, e de’ quattro animali, e in mezzo dei vecchi, un Agnello che stava in piè, che pareva essere stato ucciso, il quale avea sette corna, e sette occhi, che sono i sette spiriti di Dio, mandati per tutta la terra.
E olhei, e eis que estava no meio do trono e dos quatro animais viventes e entre os anciãos um Cordeiro, como havendo sido morto, e tinha sete chifres e sete olhos, que são os sete espíritos de Deus enviados a toda a terra.
我又看見寶座和四個活物,以及長老之中有羔羊站著,像是被殺的,有七個角七隻眼睛,就是上帝的七 靈,奉差遣往普天下去的。
