I am a fellow-servant of thy brothers having the testimony of Jesus; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy Rev. xix 10.

The angels of Michael overcame the dragon by the blood of the Lamb and by the Word of His testimony: and the dragon went away to wage war with the remnant of her seed, who were keeping the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ Rev. xii, 11, 17.

The souls of those beheaded with the axe on account of the testimony of Jesus, and on account of the Word of God Rev. xx 4.

These are they who have acknowledged the Lord. This is called 'the testimony of Jesus' because the Lord testifies it out of His Word, thus out of His Very Self, and therefore He Himself is called 'the Faithful and True Witness' (Rev. i 5; iii 14); and He says:-

I testify of Myself, and My testimony is true, because I know whence I have come, and whither I am going John viii 14.

Again:-

When the Comforter, the spirit of the truth (veritas), comes, He will testify of Me John xv 26

That 'the Comforter the spirit of the truth' Who is also 'the Holy Spirit' is the proceeding Divine, and that this is the Lord Himself, may be seen in THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERU5ALEM CONCERNING THE LORD (n. 46-54). Now because the Lord Himself is the Witness, therefore those also are understood by 'witnesses' who testify this from the Lord, as John did:-

Jesus said, You sent unto John and he was a witness unto the truth (veritas); yet I receive not testimony from men John v 33, 34.

John came for a testimony, that he might testify concerning the Light; he was not that Light, but [came] that he might testify concerning the Light. The Word that was with God, and was God, was the true Light John i 1, 2, seq. 14, 34.

[2] That the SECOND ESSENTIAL of the New Church, which is 'conjunction with the Lord by means of a life in accordance with the precepts of the Decalogue', is a testimony is plain from the fact that the Decalogue is said to be 'the testimony', as in these instances:-

Thou shalt put into the ark the testimony that I shall give thee Exod. xxv 16.

Moses put the testimony into the ark Exod. xl 20.

The mercy-seat that is over the testimony Lev. xvi 13.

Leave the staffs of the tribes before the testimony Num. xvii 4 [H.B. 19];

besides elsewhere, as Exod. xxv 22; xxxi 7, 18; xxxii 15; Ps. 3 lxxviii 5; cxxxii 12. [3] Something shall be said here concerning conjunction with the Lord by means of a life in accordance with the precepts of the Decalogue. There are two tables upon which those precepts have been written, the one for the Lord, the other for man. The first table has as its content that not many gods are to be worshipped, but the One. The second table has as its content that evils are not to be done. Therefore when the One God is worshipped and a man does not do evils there is conjunction; for in so far as a man desists from evils, that is, is actively repentant, so far he is accepted by God and does good from Him. But Who now is the One God? A Trinal or Triune God is not the one God, so long as this Trine or Tri-unity is in three Persons, but He is Who has the Trine or Tri-unity in One Person. He is the One God, and that God is the Lord. Make your ideas as intricate as you can, but still you will not get clear that God is One unless also He is One Person. That this is the case the whole Word teaches, the Old Prophetical as well as the New Apostolic Word, as can he seen manifestly from THE DOCTRINE OF THE NEW JERUSALEM CONCERNING THE LORD.
