I am thy fellowservant,
and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus.
Worship God.
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The angel refused John’s worship and said the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Prophecy here is not a trick and not a second spirit beside the Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit bearing witness to Jesus. Peter says the prophecy came not by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. Jesus said the Spirit of truth would testify of Him. The spirit of prophecy is that testimony. It is of God. It is not an angel, and it is not a created power.
