271. And seven eyes. This symbolizes the Lord's omniscience and Divine wisdom.

Eyes, in connection with the Lord, symbolize His Divine wisdom, as may be seen in nos. 48 and 125 above, thus also His omniscience. And seven means, symbolically, all, and is predicated of something holy (no. 10). The Lamb's seven eyes, therefore, symbolize the Lord's Divine wisdom, which is also His omniscience.
