The Seventh Seal : The Prophecies of Jacob Boehme

By Wayne Kraus

In 1621 Jacob Boehme began to prophesy "The Time of the Lily and the Judgment of Babel." The prophecies were not published in his books, but in letters to friends. Thus from deep in the secondary literature of 17th century Esoteric Christianity we find an authentic record of prophecy and fulfillment. This is an anthology of the prophecies of Jacob Boehme and of all his expositions on the Book of Revelation.There is perhaps no one better qualified to explicate the sevenfold structure of Revelation, which, according to Boehme, is the sevenfold structure of the cosmos and of all things. He is the only major writer, ancient or modern, who ventures to describe that enigmatic phrase in the Revelation: "the Seven Spirits of God.""The Seven Spirits of God, in their circumference and space, contain or comprehend heaven and this world; also the wide breadth and depth without and beyond the heavens, even above and beneath the world, and in the world, yea the whole Father, who has neither beginning nor end. They contain also all the creatures both in heaven and in this world; and all the creatures in heaven and in this world are imaged, fashioned or framed out of these spirits, and live in them as in their own propriety. Their life and their reason is generated in them in such a manner as the divine being is generated, and also in the same power. Out of and from the same body of the Seven Spirits of God are all things made and produced, all angels, all devils, the heaven, the earth, the stars, the elements, men, beasts, fowls, fishes; all worms, wood, trees, also stones, herbs and grass, and all whatsoever is."
