[B-Greek] PNEUMATON ESTIN?

Every occurence of PNEUMATON has its accompanying words in the plural; 
is there a reason for the verb in Revelation 1:4 to be in the singular 
(ESTIN)? If it is in the singular in Greek, why do most (or all) 
translations have the verb in the plural? Could we miss some theological 
aspect by having it in the plural? It would sound awkward to have it in 
the singular, but wouldn't it be more accurate to have the verb in the 
singular?

Thank you for clarifications!
