We can receive such a Spirit by the spirit within us. Moreover, His Spirit in His building is the seven Spirits, the seven lamps, and the seven eyes. We would see that God’s building on earth depends upon the pouring out of His Spirit. If we would read the book of Zechariah as a whole, we would see that the building of the temple typifies the building of the church today. Our spirit is like a receiving vessel, and the Spirit of God is like rain poured out. Zechariah 12:10 says, “I will pour out on the house of David…the Spirit of grace and of supplications.” In 12:1 our spirit is mentioned, and then in verse 10 the Spirit of God is mentioned. God has seven eyes shining upon us, and we have a spirit within us. We still need to see that we have a spirit. It is not sufficient simply to see the seven Spirits of God. On God’s side there is the Spirit of God, which is the seven Spirits of God, but on our side there must be our spirit.
Why does Zechariah mention this? Zechariah mentions this because this book speaks of God’s building, which absolutely depends upon the seven Spirits of God. The heavens, the earth, and the spirit are all equally ranked. Jehovah stretched forth the heavens, laid the foundations of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him. This verse ranks our spirit with the heavens and the earth. Zechariah 12:1 says, “Thus declares Jehovah, who stretches forth the heavens and lays the foundations of the earth and forms the spirit of man within him.” This is the only verse in the entire Bible that specifically indicates that God formed the spirit of man within him. Now let us come back to the wonderful book of Zechariah.
