"Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne. (Rev 1:4 ) can also be translated ' the sevenfold spirit'.

In Revelations 1:12-15; we see Jesus standing in the midst of seven golden candlesticks holding seven stars in his hand. Scripture makes it very clear that these seven candlesticks represent seven church's which Jesus walks among, and the seven stars the angels of the seven church's which Jesus holds in his hand. Scripture always refers to the Church in the feminine gender. The number seven is associated with Christ's Bride!

The ancient Hebrews aligned their calendar reckonings with the phases of the moon, attributing to each month and its phases with the powers and teachings of animals, plants, and spirits. But the moon herself was Mari.

Before the calendar measured time, we marked the year by observing the planets in their stately parade across the night sky. We noted the tides and the moon's phases and the length of days. We attuned ourselves to the seasons. We did not grow angry when there was snow in winter or rain in summer. We recognized that nature is more powerful than we are, and we honored her strength. Now we live indoors, our lights shine at night; we mark the days and weeks and seasons on our dayminders and calendars. We have lost the sense of connection to the currents of time as they flow through our world. In the process, we have lost our sense of connection to that world. Honoring the lunar goddess was a daily part of ancient tradition in Ireland and Scotland, where bowing to the full moon and praising her beauty was a monthly ritual. Even when we do not see her, the moon still pulls the tides; she pulls as well on our inner tides, drawing forth .womanly blood as she moves through her own phases. To honor the moon is to honor the primal connection between womanhood and nature's feminine force.

She was worshipped by the Semites as Mari-Anath; in consort as an Elohim, Mari-El. "Is the Moon named Miriam among you?" "The moon has many names among our poets."

Her blue robe and pearly necklace were classic symbols of Maria "the Seas", edged with pearly foam.. She appears prophetically as the "water of life" in Revelation 22:1.

the Latin word for ocean ("mar") is nearly identical to "Mary". In English we might miss the connection, but in the romance languages of Spanish, French, or Italian, the connection is obvious. Coincidence?
