Ye shall be witnesses unto me.
Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness.
The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony.
A witness speaks what he has seen and heard. Jesus is the faithful witness. He told the apostles they would receive power, and be witnesses unto Him in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The word for witness is the word that becomes martyr when the speaking costs the life. Two witnesses stand in the street of the city. Their word is not a guess. It is what the Lord showed.
- A witness reports. He does not invent the case.
- Jesus is the faithful witness. The church is sent with His word.
- Testimony and martyr are the same root. The cost does not change the word.
