10 niiden pylväitä oli kaksikymmentä ja näiden vaskijalustoja kaksikymmentä, mutta pylväiden koukut ja niiden koristepienat olivat hopeata.

Apocalypse Explained #317

Studere hoc loco

  
/ 1232  
  

317. And seven eyes, signifies and who has omniscience. This is evident from the signification of "seven eyes" as being, in reference to the Lord, omniscience; for as "eyes" in reference to man signify the understanding, so in reference to the Lord they signify omniscience. That "eyes" in reference to man signify the understanding, and in reference to the Lord providence, as also Divine wisdom and intelligence, which is omniscience, see above, n. 152. "Seven eyes" are mentioned, because "seven" signifies all things, and is predicated of what is holy (as above).
