312. Verses 6, 7. And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four animals, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing as it were slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth. And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.

"And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four animals, and in the midst of the elders," signifies, in the whole heaven, and specifically in the inmost heavens; "a Lamb standing," signifies, the Lord as to the Divine Human; "as it were slain," signifies, as yet acknowledged by few; "having seven horns," signifies, who has omnipotence; "and seven eyes," signifies, and who has omniscience; "which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth," signifies, that thence are all wisdom and intelligence in heaven and in the church.

"And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne," signifies, that those things are from His Divine Human.
