The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD. (Isaiah 11:2)

1) The Spirit of the LORD
2) The Spirit of wisdom
3) The Spirit of understanding
4) The Spirit of counsel
5) The Spirit of power
6) The Spirit of knowledge
7) The Spirit of the fear of the Lord

From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder. In front of the throne, seven lamps were blazing. These are the seven spirits of God. (Revelation 1:4-5)

There are 7 Spirits before God’s throne, 7 angels, 7 Churches, 7 bowls of judgment, etc…

The Holy Spirit is One and the Church is One

Although the Church is one and the Holy Spirit is one, why then is there this distinction of separation? Surprisingly God has allowed science to peer into the mysteries of light in order to help illustrate.

Read: Jesus is the light of the world and the 7 Churches are the 7 different manifestations of that pure white light of Jesus just like there are 7 colors in the rainbow.

There are also 7 evil spirits that are antagonistic to the 7 spirits of God. The details about this are found in the stories of the Israelites entering the promised land where there were the 7 tribes of Canaan.

When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you. (Deuteronomy 7:1)

The 7 Evil Spirits Of Canaan (The Promise Land)

1. Hittites- Hittite means “son of Terror” as they were descendants from “Heth” which means terror. Terror is an extreme manifestation of fear. This evil spirit works on the emotional and mental state of a human being. (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm)
2. Girgashites- Grigashite means “clay dweller”. This spirit influences people to focus on the material world and have a disdain for the spiritual world. Earthly, or Carnal mind that cannot see the behind the scene workings of the good and evil spiritual activities that influence our world. (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/hittite.htm)
3. Amorites-Amorite means “mountain dweller”. Just like mountains dominate and create low valleys, people under this spirit dominate others in order to practice self-exaltation and dominance. Another Hebrew word that makes up the word “Amorite” is “Amar” which means to utter or say, meaning they want others to utter their name, (fame/popularity seekers). (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/amorite.htm)
4. Canaanites- Canaanite means “low lands people”. This evil spirit encourages addictions and sexual perversions. This is one of the reasons Sodom and Gomorrah are referred to as some of the cities of Canaan in Genesis 10:19. (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/cananite.htm)
5. Perizzites- Perizzite means “belonging to the villiage”. Villages connotate “smallness”. People that grow up in a village are exposed to limited opportunities and arrested development. This spirit produces a limited vision causing a person to see themselves as insignificant leading to laziness and poverty. (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/perizite.htm)
6. Hivites- Hivite means “villiager”. This is very similar to the Perizzite in the sense of “smallness”. But the Hebrew word Hivite is derived from the word “chavvah” (the original version of the name “Eve”) meaning “life” or “living”. The Hivite spirit encourages people to “live it up!” Unlike the Perizzite with a limited vision leading to poverty the Hivite is instead “lives it up” (Hedonism). (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/hivite.htm)
7. Jebusites- Jebusite means “thresher”. This spirit encourages others to tread or stop on other people. They cause others humiliation or to feel small in order to enforce certain social casts in order to elevate themselves in social circles. (Source: https://shamah-elim.info/jebusite.htm)

Hopefully, this gives a good explanation of the Spiritual battle we find ourselves in as followers of Jesus.

The post The 7 Spirits Of God & 7 The Evil Spirits of Canaan appeared first on Reese Irish.

The world became a very wicked place because fallen angels impregnated women. As a result, they gave birth to the Nephilim (giants). Genesis 6 states that the thoughts of humans were perpetually wicked. Consequently, God cleansed the earth by flooding it with water.

But, Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord. God instructed Noah to build an ark large enough for His family and the male and female of each animal. The flood came and wiped everyone out.

Noah’s ark was a success and when the flood subsided God’s covenant with Noah was sealed with a rainbow as a sign of God’s promise in the clouds. As mentioned in Genesis 9.

The colors of the rainbow paint for us a picture in the heavens of what reality God has given His people through covenant promise.

What Does The Rainbow Mean In The Bible?

The rainbow is a sign of God’s promise that He will not flood the earth again in judgment. But, in the next judgment, God will judge the world with fire as mentioned in 2 Peter 3:6-7. Before Peter wrote 2nd Peter He wrote 1st Peter where He talks about multi-colored trials, grace, and wisdom.

In 1 Peter 4:12 Peter says to not be surprised at the fiery trials that are for testing.

• 1 Peter 1:6 Peter says that believers may grieve manifold trials.
• In 1 Peter 4:10 it mentions God’s manifold grace.
• In Ephesians 3:10 Paul mentions God’s manifold wisdom. 

The word manifold in Greek is poikilos and it means “various” or “multi-colored”.

The rainbow is multi-colored. A rainbow is pure white light refracted through a prism or water. The light is dispersed into 7 distinct frequencies (colors).

The 7 colors (ROYGBIV). Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. The prism and or water molecules act as a manifold for pure white light to be organized into 7 various colors. Hence the 7 churches are addressed in the book of Revelation.

Jesus Christ Is The Light Of The World (Jesus’s Rainbow)

In the book of Revelation the Church (Christ’s Body) is divided into 7 distinct churches. Each church is assigned a ministering angel to correct, guide, and exhort them. Each of the 7 angels has a very specific ministry to each of the 7 churches. Just like there are 7 specific colors, music notes, and bowls of judgment.

Revelation 4:5 & Revelation 5:6 says there are 7 spirits of God. Jesus is the (white) light of the world and His Church (body) is the prism that displays the 7 spirits (colors) of God. Moreover, there are 7 musical notes that correspond and synchronize to each of the 7 colors depending on the environment’s temperature and humidity.

Practically, this means as believers are in different social environments they will radiate a different color of Jesus. Each believer is radiating God’s pure white light in a special way. As a result, it is useless to compare believers against one another because they are all part of the same white light. Just like each color and musical note, they vibrate at a certain frequency and have a specific function in their due season.

What does the rainbow mean in the Bible? It represents God’s multi-colored and sounding wisdom.

These 7 distinct angelic ministries produce manifold trials that produce manifold wisdom and manifold grace within the body of Christ. In other words, multi-colored trials, multi-colored wisdom, and multi-colored grace is exhibited through the body of Christ.

Comparing Different Believers (Colors) Against Each Other Is Not Wise

It’s like saying blue is a more important color than red. That comparison does not really make sense because each color (church) comes from the same pure white light (Jesus). You cannot remove colors from the rainbow. Similarly, you can’t remove certain parts of the Church from the body of Christ.

Joseph & John Were Given A Coat Of Many Colors

Look at Joseph. His father gave him a coat of many colors. His life was painted with various colored (manifold) grace, wisdom, trials, and troubles.

I believe in a spiritual sense John (author of the book of Revelation) had a coat of many colors as well. I believe this because He was chosen to receive and administer each of the 7 messages to each of the 7 churches according to their various colored exhortations and issues.

Satan Poses As An Angel Of Light | Satan’s Rainbow & The Evil Tribes In Canaan (The Promise Land)

Genesis 9 not only mentions the meaning of rainbow in the bible. It also describes how Canaan was fathered by Ham. Ham exposed Noah’s nakedness when He got drunk after the flood.

As a result, Ham became the father of Canaan and was the servant of the servants. Canaan is the promised land for God’s people. And coincidentally enough, the giants and Nephilim ended up inhabiting Canaan (the promised land).

Canaan consisted of 7 evil tribes, (the “ites”). The Canaanites, Amorites, Girgashites, Perizzites, Hivites, Hittites, and the Jebusites. These 7 tribes that inhabited the promised land represent the 7 various colors of satan’s demonic principalities of false light.

In Revelation 16 John writes about the 7 bowls of judgment that God’s angels administer upon the earth. This represents God’s light overpowering and triumphing over satan’s false light, AKA darkness. I believe each of the 7 bowls of judgment corresponds to the 7 evil tribes.
