The question

What are the seven spirits of God as written in the Book of Revelation?

The answer

The number seven represents perfection. The Holy Book of Isaiah 11:1-2 mentions the "Spirit of the Lord"—One Spirit—One Lord Jesus Christ—in this manner:
"There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse,
And a Branch shall grow out of his roots.
The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him,
The Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
The Spirit of counsel and might,
The Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord."
