What is the Testimony of Jesus Christ?:
It is the Spirit of Prophecy:
Revelation 12:17
17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
According to Pastor Bohr, a better translation is, “and possess the testimony of Jesus Christ”, as opposed to, “and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
So the end time Remnant Church will keep the commandments of God and they will have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
So what is the testimony of Jesus Christ?
Revelation 19:10
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: 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.
Notice that the angel said that he is the fellow servant of John and his brethren who have the testimony of Jesus Christ, and that testimony is the Spirit of Prophesy.
Revelation 22:9
9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
The Transitive Property
In math there is a property known as the transitive property. It goes like this: if a = b and b = c, then a = c. This transitive propterty can be applied to the verses of Revelation 12:17, 19:10 and 22:9. Notice that in Revelation 19:10 it says that the brethren of John have the Testimony of Jesus Christ and that the Testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophecy. Notice that in Revelation 22:9 it says that the brethren of John are prophets. So if you apply the transitive property to these statements it becomes obvious that having the Testimony of Jesus Christ means that Johns brethren will be prophets. Therefore, the end time remnant church will have the Gift of Prophesy.
