Lillith, the first angel, is seen bearing "The Seven Eyes of God" - SEELE's logo and the triangle symbol that decorates Lilith's mask.
German for "Soul," this secret organization of as few as 5 or as many as 15 manipulate humanity into its own agendas, the "Instrumentality of Man." The origins of SEELE are unknown, but their motives and actions are guided through the Dead Sea Scrolls - important early Jewish historical and theological documents dating from circa 250BC to circa 135AD - it's said that the history of man and the ultimate has been written in these enigmatic documents.
The symbolic seven eyes represent different things, but here's some facts about what they are in different aspects:
Jesus has the seven Spirits of God and they are connected with His insight into the activities of the church at Sardis (Rev. 3:1). Again, we see the omniscient piercing gaze provided by the seven spirits. This gaze takes in all sin--nothing escapes the purview of the spirits.
They are described as seven lamps of fire burning before the throne. Fire generally represents judgment, such as John the Baptist mentions in connection with baptism by fire which nonbelievers will undergo (Mtt. 3:11; Luke 3:16). The spirits are associated with fire because their omniscient gaze uncovers even the darkest, deepest, "hidden" sins and lays them bare ready for eventual judgment.
The seven spirits are said to be seven eyes possessed by Jesus, the slain Lamb (Rev. 5:6). I believe this to be another reference to the omniscience of Jesus--His ability to see everything that transpires in the world and down through history. Thus, His ability to perfectly judge all sin.
Jewish sources of the Greco-Roman period expand on the traditions of angels found in the Hebrew Scriptures. We especially see the first systematic organization of Biblical hosts of heaven into a hierarchy of different castes of angels governing and serving on different levels of heaven. Zechariah's reference to the seven eyes of God (4:10) is understood to refer to either seven archangels, or the seven angel hosts in the seven heavens (I Enoch 61; Testament of the Patriarchs, Levi).
The seven spirits resting upon Messiah Jesus (Messiah meaning "anointed one") are associated with His task of the Righteous Judge: He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears. I believe this is a reference to what John is shown in the Book of Revelation, His eyes like a flame of fire . . . These things says the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, . . . (Rev. 1:14; 2:18). His eyes are piercing eyes of judgment which see by virtue of the seven spirits, the fullness of the attributes of the Holy Spirit.
Note that seven is the number of completeness or fullness, even when referring to spirits (Mtt. 12:45; Luke 8:2; 11:26).
Interesting how all this fits in, eh? Related content
