TESTIMONY OF JESUS:
THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY
By Pastor Max Solbrekkken, D.D.
"I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: Worship God for the TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY." (Rev. 19: 10)
Every Prophecy given in the Holy Bible or through His prophets in the synagogues or Early Church had ONE GOAL in the final analysis - that was to declare the TESTIMONY OF JESUS which is the Record that Almighty God gave of His Son - The Redemption of the human race and the glorification of the Father through the sacrificial Death of Christ Jesus of Nazareth and His glorious Ressurection from the dead!
The Bible states: "Jesus said unto him, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me." (John 14:6)
The GREATEST SIN a person can commit is the Rejection of the TESTIMONY that God gave of His Son! (John 14:6). Every prophecy given, ultimately pointed to and must continually point to the Testimony of Jesus Christ, Who created the worlds and all things. He DIED vicariously for the sins of His creation to bring us to God the Father. And to reign with Him throughout Eternity!
THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
St. John stated, "And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life and this life is in the Son. He that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the Name of the Son of God." (1 John 5: 11-13)
"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto Him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world...And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from Heaven like a dove, and it abode upon Him. And I knew it not; but He that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on Him, the same is He that baptizeth with the Holy Ghost.
"And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God. Again the next day after John stood, and two of his disciples; And looking upon JESUS as He walked, He saith, behold, the Lamb of God." (John 1: 29-36)
JESUS WAS WOUNDED FOR US ALL
"Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our Peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed.
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to His own way; and the Lord hath laid upon Him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53: 4-6)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justigfied freely by His GRACE through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." (Rom. 3:23,24)
JESUS: THE PRECIOUS LAMB OF GOD
"And I saw a strong angel procaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the Book, and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in Heaven, nor in earth was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
"And one of the elders sayeth to me, Weep Not: behold the Lion of the Tribe of Juda, the root of David hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and lo, in the midst of the throne, and of the four beasts, and in the mist 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'
"And He came and took the BOOK out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the Throne. And when He had taken the BOOK the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having everyone of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints.
"And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the Book, and to open the seals threreof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy Blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and nation; And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
"And I beheld and heard the voice of many angels roumd about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a Loud Voice, WORTHY IS THE LAMB that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
"And every creature which is in Heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto HIM that sitteth upon the Throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever."
WHAT A GOSPEL! BLESSED AND HOLY IS THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD!
