Apocalypse Explained # 317
317. And seven eyes. That this signifies, who has omniscience, is evident from the signification of seven eyes, when said of the Lord, as denoting omniscience; for eyes, when said of man, signify the understanding; wherefore, when said of the Lord, they signify omniscience. That eyes, when said of man, signify the understanding, and when said of the Lord, Providence, as also the Divine Wisdom and Intelligence, which is omniscience, may be seen above, n. 152. Seven eyes are mentioned, because seven signifies all, and is said of what is holy, as [has been shown] above.
