Testimony of CHRIST is SPIRIT of PROPHECY, Rev. 19: 10---so HE TEACHES through Isaiah---Isa 51: 7-- Hearken unto Me, ye that know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My law; fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their revilings.—CHRIST says---DO NOT FEAR men when they speak against GOD’S LAWS! LORD helps TO BE SANCTIFIED again to ‘KEEP SABBATH SIGN His people profaned SABBATHS, Eze. 20; 13-25, they are to be SANCTIFIED through SABBATH SIGN, Ex 31; 13, to enter HIS 7TH DAY REST, Heb. 4. Then-that SANCTIFICATION of --SABBATH SIGN , is GIVEN TO THEM through receiving HIS FLESH AND BLOOD OF COVENANT (when they keep a WORTHY PASSOVER) praising for ALL BLESSINGS you receive from HIS ONE OFFERING, for NEW COVENANT, Heb. 10: 7-10, 14---WITNESS of HIS OFFERING would make you ENTER HIS REST, Heb. 4. Mal 2:4 And ye shall know that I have sent this commandment unto you, that My covenant might be with Levi, saith the LORD of hosts, but thy have corrupted the COVENANT of Levi, vs. 8----it is the ministry, the Levi that would serve in HIS ALTAR , as Moses wrote, Deut. 10;8, Deut. 31; 9----therefore they are to prove “CHRIST IN YOU’, 2 Co 13; 4-7, by PUTTING ON CHRIST by baptizm, Gal 3; 26-29. Read in No. 1115 in www.restoringcaptivity.com Heb. 12; 3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. 4 Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. 5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: Gerald Flurry wrote of— “The Spirit of Prophecy”— “Did you know that Jesus Christ was a prophet? He spoke detailed prophecies throughout His human lifetime and inspired prophecies throughout the Bible. Revelation 19:10 states that “the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” A true Christian is one who follows Christ, so a true Christian has the spirit of prophecy. COMMENT— HOLY SPIRIT means HIS WORDS that would give LIFE, Jn.6; 63, in HIS COVENANT, which is HIS VISION, Heb. 10; 7-14. Testimony of JESUS would be prophesied through HIS WORDS! Gal. 3; 1--O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?--- A true Christian is one who follows---CRUCIFIED CHRIST ---follows the LAMB, the KING OF kings, Rev. 17; 14! When Gal. 3; 1 set forth JESUS CHRIST as CRUCIFIED, HIS TESTIMONY WOULD BE OF HIM BEING CRUCIFIED! · Those who do not follow CRUCIFIED CHRIST are LIARS, they fight CHRIST as a beast power, but LAMB wins, Rev. 17; 14. JESUS CHRIST is THAT PROPHET Moses wrote, Acts. 3; 22-26—vs. 23 --And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. THOSE chosen in seed of Abraham JESUS CHRIST, Gal.3; 16, would be blessed in COVENANT-----because JESUS CHRIST shed BLOOD of COVENANT, Heb. 13; 20, therefore A TRUE CHRISTIAN believes and FOLLOWS THE TRUTH of CHRIST CRUCIFIED, Gal. 3; 1, Therefore the true Christians would KNOW TO BE BAPTIZED unto DEATH of CHRIST, Rom. 6; 3-23, FOR HIS BAPTIZM grants HOLY SPIRIT, Acts. 2; 38, 39. · Then you would know SPIRIT OF PROPHECY, through HOLY SPIRIT! SO WE SEE CHRIST our LORD witnesses in His cloud that HE PERFORMS HIS WORK AS THAT PROPHET! Read in No. 1115 in www.restoringcaptivity.com · JESUS CHRIST had run His race on the CROSS to give SALVATION, Heb. 12; 2—He was not ashamed of HIS BRETHREN, Heb. 2; 11, JESUS CHRIST was the 1ST BORN among MANY BRETHREN, Rom. 8; 29. · CHURCH and TRUE MINISTERS should teach of HIS CROSS for SALVATION of BRETHREN! · 2 Ch 21 tells us of Jehoram the son of King Jehoshaphat who was wicked, even killed all his brethren and LORD gave him an incurable disease of bowels –he died with it at FORTY years, BOWELS FELL OUT, vs. 19. There is a lesson in 2 Ch 21 for us today---ministers should not spiritually kill brethren! LORD JESUS CHRIST died to save BRETHREN, Rom. 8; 29. If ministers teach NOT of SALVATION but keep teaching other things, BRETHREN would die being DECEIVED BY DEVIL, Rev. 12; 9. 1Jo 5:9 -If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for this is the witness of God which he hath testified of his Son. 1Jo 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. Joh 5:36 But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. Joh 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape. ALMIGHTY AS HIGH PRIEST Melchisedec Order, Gen. 14; 18-20 ---Him as JESUS CHRIST THE HIGH PRIEST of Melchisedec Order, Heb. 6; 20, and JESUS CHRIST as LAMB, Jn.1; 29, 36, proves ALMIGHTY FATHER died for us! Re 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; De 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee. Jer 42:5 Then they said to Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD thy God shall send thee to us. Mic 1:2 Hear, all ye people; hearken, O earth, and all that therein is: and let the Lord GOD be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple. Ro 1:9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, Ro 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: Heb 2: 3 How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that heard him; 4 God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and gifts of the HOLY SPIRIT, according to his own will? 5 ¶ For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak. 6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? 7 Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands: 8 Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him. 9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 10 ¶ For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. 11 For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, 12 Saying, I will declare thy name unto my brethren, in the midst of the church will I sing praise unto thee. PARTAKING from CRUCIFIED CHRIST saves from DEVIL, the POWER OF DEATH Heb. 2;14 -Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; 15 --And deliver them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. WORKS OF JESUS CHRIST in FATHER’S NAME WITNESSED of JESUS CHRIST Joh 8:18 -I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. Joh 10:25-Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in My Father’s name, they bear witness of me. 1Jo 1:2 -(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;) · CHRIST raised to LIFE after DEATH was proved to disciples, that is ETERNAL LIFE with FATHER was manifested unto disciples. · That is JESUS CHRIST fulfilled the Commandment of ETERNAL LIFE, which was given by Father, Jn.12; 49-50. Worshipping on SABBATHS and HOLY DAYS glorifies GOD OF ISRAEL for saving ISRAEL from Egypt, and for ISRAEL to know HIS ALMIGHTY POWERS over HIS WORLD, all worshippers to understand that they SERVE GOD OF ISRAEL, the POSSESSOR OF HIS CHURCH, Deut.5:12-15, Ex 20: 1, 8-10-- Num 15.37, 41, 38-40-- Deut. 16:9-12, Nu 16: 9.

Mr 2:27 -And he said unto them, The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath- 28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the Sabbath. Keep SABBATH SIGN, the SIGN BETWEEN ALMIGHTY AND CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, it is a perpetual Covenant, everyone that defileth it shall be put to death, Ex.31:13—17.
