It is supposed to be Jesus, but 7 horns & 7 eyes??? Is it Jesus or not?
Rev.5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

7 eyes, 7 horns, 7 spirits, 7 days of the week, it's all the same thing ...
7 represented the 7 'nonfixed' eye visible celestial objects; sun, moon, mercury, venus, mars, saturn, and jupiter.
Revelation is as much astrotheology as it is Christian prophecy. That's why there was a hotly contested debate in the early church as to whether or not it should be considered scripture.

The lamb represents Jesus and as it says, the 7 horns and eyes represent the seven Spirits. Jesus isn't really a lamb.
My personal way of reading the Bible is to read it in plain sense whenever it makes sense.

Yes, it is Jesus, the Savior. The seven horns and eyes, as it says, are seven spirits. In other places in the Book of Revelation, those same seven spirits are called the seven angels having the trumpets to open the seven seals. Each seal represents a time period on earth, sometimes called dispensations.

It is Christ Jesus - the Lamb that was slain. As indicated in the scripture, the seven horns and eyes are symbolic.

of course it is the LORD Jesus Christ:
"“He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth." - Isaiah 53:7.
this passage in Revelation is highly allegorical and spiritual, the number 7 represents perfection or completion like the 7 days of creation and the eyes point to the fact that Jesus sees all things, the horns most likely point to the 7 trumpets which sound shortly after this in Revelation.

The lamb always refers to Jesus Christ.
Revelation is written to the Nation Israel in "ages to come" Eph.2:7 when Christ comes back to reign and rule and to fulfil the promises made to THEM, who are Gods "earthly people".
YOU, if you are a believer, will be gone from the earth and already seated with YOUR Lord in heavenly places. You dont have to worry about who this person is or isnt...you wont be there.
