Seven Lamps Before the Throne: The Sevenfold Spirit of God
"There were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God." What are the seven Spirits — and why did God command a seven-branched lampstand shaped like a flowering almond tree?
The Bride of Christ: Like Mother, Like Daughter
The seven lamps of the Spirit burn before the Father's throne; the seven candlesticks of the Church surround the Son. Yona Tree reads the Bride of Christ as a daughter growing to resemble the Spirit who gave her birth.
What Is New Jerusalem?
Twelve gates of pearl, twelve foundations of precious stone, a street of gold like glass, and a river flowing from the throne. A careful reading of John's vision of the holy city — with Scripture, interpretation and speculation kept apart.
