Principles behind Prophecy, continued

5. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy (Rev. 19.10).

• Prophecy speaks to Messiah’s suffering and glory (Luke 24.25-27; 44) • The prophetic Scriptures focus on his person and work (John 5.39-40) • Apostolic preaching connected him to their message (Acts 3.12-18; 10.43; 13.27; Rom. 3.21-22; 1 Pet. 1.10-12; 2 Pet. 1.19-21)
