:blink: The lamb represents Jesus Christ the one chosen by God to be the sacrifice to remove our sins.

Standing after being slain shows us His resucrrection from the dead. He is no longer dead but lives and reigns with God His Father.

The horns represent the strengthj and power. Even though Christ was the sacrifical lamb He was not weak. His death, which may show weakness, was necessary to the completeness of God's plan.

The eyes represent the seven lamps and the one Spirit. The represents also the completeness of Christ.

The number seven is used to represent the perfect number and completeness.

The lamb has the qualities of being the completeness of God's plan of salvation and the perfeciton of His works.

The lamb represents Jesus, who is the Lion of Judah, who became the Messiah - The Lamb is standing because as Jesus he was slain, totally dead, and God raised him up - representing the resurrection, never to die again. The 7 horns represent his perfect strength and power and the 7 eyes are his perfect sight, the number seven being the perfect complete number. The qualities seen in the Lamb are those of the whole trinity of God - the all powerful, all seeing, all loving, Father Son and Holy Spirit.

:D There is so much symbolism in this question. These questions have so very much I could go on for a very long time. But then I am known for being verbose. :rolleyes: The Lamb is Jesus, the pure Lamb of Very God. Remember the lamb used for the sacrifice had to be without blemish. This is the description of our Lord Jesus. He was without sin or blemish! Yet he sacrificed Himself to save us from our sin. He became like us so we could become more like Him. What a glorious gift. :D Standing after being slain represents His victory over death and sin. Glory, Glory!! In the Old Testament horns represented strength. Who has more strength than our Lord? Anyone who doubts His strength just needs to read and believe Revelation. The eyes represent the seven Spirits of God and His all knowing and power. In the Bible the number seven indicates completeness. Therefore, we have in Jesus, a complete God who has overcome sin and death. He is all knowing and all seeing. He is every place all the time. Time has no boundaries for him. He has enormous strength, but is meek and gentle. His intelligence and imination are boundless. He is love. God sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to be with us to intercede for us with groans and to educate us. The Bible was written to tell us about all of this so we would know the whole story and what to expect. :rolleyes: If we read the Bible and believe in Jesus and accept Him as our personal Savior we become, in effect, the bride of Christ. :rolleyes: He is, after all, the only way to heaven.

The lamb represents Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God. Standing after being slain reminds us of His resucrrection after He was crucified. The horns represent the power to rule over heaven and earth that was given to Jesus. The eyes remind us that the Lord sees all and knows all. We cannot outwit Him or do something that the Lord does not know about. And finally, the number seven represents completeness.

In other words, the Lamb has the qualities of perfection that the Lord posseses. These are the undeniable proofs that Jesus truly is the Lamb of God and was not just a person whose life happened to coincide with the predictions that God gave to His prophets about the Messiah.

The Lamb symbolizes Christ Himself .

Standing after being slain indicates that somehow this Lamb who was slain has triumphed.

Standing after being slain indicates a clear allusion to Christ's resurrection from the dead.

The 7 horns represent power. The #7 symbolizes the idea of completeness and perfection so 7 horns would indicate complete might and strength.

The eyes represent the fact that the Lamb see fully and completely. The 7 eyes indicate the Lamb is all-powerful and all-knowing.

:P What my heart tells me:

Lamb: Jesus as sacrificial (God, Father made manifest in Flesh... choice of least, harmless)

Standing after Slain: Death Overcome, Risen, Redemption, Proven

Horns: Strength, Power, Might, Worthy

7 (seven)... Seven Spirits of God... eyes... candles... lights... All seeing... All knowing: Glory in all His perfection.

Hallelujah! Amen.

Revelation 5:6 "Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth."

Lamb - Jesus Christ, the sacrifical lamb who was slain and resurrected.

Standing - Sitting on the throne is a symbol of power, authority, and reign. Standing in the center of the throne is a symbol of ultimate power, ultimate authority, and ultimate reign. Jesus is the center of it all.

Horns - Omnipotence.

Eyes - Omnipresence.

Seven - Completion, finished work, perfection.

Summary - The Lamb has the qualities of God. Jesus was God walking in our shoes as man to redeem us from our sins. (John 1:1-5, John 3:16-17)
