    Tim,

    It tells us that out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:

    This will be the expression of God's judgment whenever He judges. We see it throughout the book of Revelation. There will be lightnings and thunderings and sounds coming out from the throne.

    It says, and there were seven lamps of fire before the throne, which are the (seven spirits of God).

    We see these seven spirits back in Revelation 1:4. And if we follow it through in Chapter 4, along with Revelation 5:6, it tells us that these seven spirits of God are the seven eyes of God going throughout the world.

    It is the seven fold complete ministry of the Holy Spirit held by both the Jews, and of course the scripture itself teaches that.

    In Zechariah Chapters 4 and 10, it also tells us that the seven lamps are the seven eyes of the Lord, the all-seeing one.

    So before the throne, the seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God (The 7 eyes of God).

    In Revelation 5:6, we have a Lamb that had been standing there as it had been slain, having seven horns and (seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God), sent forth into all the earth.

    Daniel Chapter 7 tells us that the horns represent power and authority. And of course the eyes, again, Zechariah tells us that the Messiah has seven eyes. I don't believe it is talking about the literal eyeball.

    The word seven in scripture means complete. It means that He (God) is in complete authority, and He sees everything fully and completely.

    Hope this helps!
