ISB ~ Revelation 1 v4 - 5

Grace and peace flow out from the Trinity, as seen in the threefold repetition of from, which is linked to the Father (him who is), the Son (Christ), and the Holy Spirit (the seven spirits). Christian interpreters have often read the “seven spirits” of Revelation as an allusion to the Spirit and his sevenfold gifts mentioned in Is 11:2 LXX (e.g., St. Ambrose, On the Holy Spirit 1, 16). Symbolic reflections of the Trinity also appear at Rev 5:6 and 22:1.
