Holiness of God is unchangeable. So we speak the word as eternal of which no iota or tittle shall be removed. The Word or the Law if cannot be enforced is deemed useless. When John saw the risen Christ he writes 'and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword:(v.16)'The word of God must be so sharp so it can upturn the soil of the heart so make the seed of gospel has the wherewithal to bear fruit.
When one is convicted of his sins it is not merely seeing his own state in a clear glass as it were, but also realizing his need for release from bondage. So the word of God is like a scalpel in cutting away the wounds in order to work healing. The writer to the Hebrews says, "For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart(He.4:12)."
Seven Spirits of God ever burning before the throne are angels made spirits as emblem before the throne of God '4Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:(Ps.104:4). So seven lamps of fire burning before the throne signify Holiness of God shall be maintained forever. Power and glory of the Word ensure it from all injury. When we are shown various abominations being practiced behind a cloak of piety we may well appreciate what Ezekiel would have thought: it was in the justness of God to depart from there. "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God(Re.4:5)".
The Spirit of Christ that worked with holy men of old (1 Pe.1:10-11) as well as the seven beings mentioned in this chapter are angelic beings. Among them the man in linen with the inkhorn is seen in the Book of Daniel
