I.　The book of Revelation presents to us the revealed Christ and the testifying church— 1:1-2, 9; 6:9; 12:17; 20:4; 19:13:

三　我们享受那作神见证的启示出来的基督，使我们被构成为祂的见证，这见证就是耶稣基督现今的启示─提前三15~16。
C.　Our enjoyment of the revealed Christ as the testimony of God constitutes us into His testimony, which is the present revelation of Jesus Christ— 1 Tim. 3:15-16.
贰　基督作为神的话，有三种形式─基督自己的人位、说出来的话、和写成的话─约一1，五39~40，六63：
II.　Christ as the Word of God is in three forms— the person of Christ Himself, the spoken word, and the written word—John 1:1; 5:39-40; 6:63:
一　基督是神的见证，也是神的活话，将祂的本质灌注到爱祂、寻求祂的人里面，将祂自己作到他们里面，使他们成为祂扩大并扩展的见证：
A.　Christ as the testimony of God and the living word of God infuses His substance into His loving seekers, working Himself into them to make them His enlarged and expanded testimony:
1　藉着神的话，我们享受神的面，以及祂脸上的光照，使我们发出神的光，使神得着荣耀─出三四28~29，林后三16，18，诗二七4，8，一一九58，135。
1.　Through the Word we can enjoy God's countenance and the shining of His face so that we can glow with Him for His glory—Exo. 34:28-29; 2 Cor. 3:16, 18; Psa. 27:4, 8; Psa. 119:58, 135.
2　我们藉着祷读神的话，就把神的元素吸入我们里面，而被神的所是灌注，使我们活基督，成为神活的彰显─提后三16~17，弗六17~18。
2.　By pray-reading the Word, we breathe God's element into us, being infused with what God is to cause us to live Christ and become the living expression of God—2 Tim. 3:16-17; Eph. 6:17-18.
3　我们必须让基督的话，丰丰富富的居住在我们里面，歌唱祂的话，使祂的话光照我们，滋养我们，解我们的干渴，加我们的力量，洗净我们，建造我们，成全我们，造就我们，并使我们满了喜乐─西三16，诗一一九54，参王上六7，代上六31~32。
3.　We need to let the word of Christ inhabit us richly, singing His word, so that His word may enlighten us, nourish us, quench our thirst, strengthen us, wash us, build us up, perfect us, edify us, and fill us with joy—Col. 3:16; Psa. 119:54; cf. 1 Kings 6:7; 1 Chron. 6:31-32.

4.　Our life as believers hinges totally upon the Lord's speaking—His instant, present, living word to sanctify us, preparing us to be His glorious bride—Eph. 5:25-27; cf. S. S. 6:13; 8:13-14.
二　基督这神的话，乃是神的战士，要带著作祂见证的新妇军队，用从祂口中出来的利剑，就是祂全能的话，对那不法之人和跟随他的军队，施行神的审判─启十九13，15：
B.　Christ as the Word of God is the Warrior of God with His bridal army as His testimony to execute God's judgment upon the man of lawlessness and the armies who follow him by the sharp sword, the almighty word that proceeds out of His mouth—Rev. 19:13, 15:
1　基督是神的话，从祂口中出来的剑，乃是审判背叛者的话─15，21节，约十二48。
1.　The sword which proceeds out of the mouth of Christ, who is the Word of God, is the word which will judge the rebellious—vv. 15, 21; John 12:48.
2　祂的争战乃是说出神的话;当主争战的时候，祂是为神说话并彰显神─启二16。
2.　His fighting is the speaking of God's word; as the Lord fights, He speaks for God and expresses God—Rev. 2:16.
3　主耶稣作为神的话，要用祂口中的气除灭那不法之人，并用祂来临的显现废掉他─帖后二3~8，约壹三4。
3.　The Lord Jesus as the Word of God will slay the man of lawlessness by the breath of His mouth and bring him to nothing by the manifestation of His coming—2 Thes. 2:3-8; 1 John 3:4.
4　在今世我们需要接受话作为那灵，那灵要成为剑，击杀我们里面的对头，使我们以经历的方式应用以弗所六章十七至十八节：
4.　In this age we need to receive the word as the Spirit, which then becomes a sword to slay the adversary within us, applying Ephesians 6:17-18 in an experiential way:
a　没有作为那灵的话来作击杀的剑，我们就无法蒙保守在召会生活里，在职事里。
a.　Without the word as the Spirit to be the killing sword, there is no way for us to be kept in the church life and in the ministry.
b　我们以活的方式所接受作为那灵的话，乃是属灵的抗生素，杀死我们里面的“细菌”，使空中邪恶的势力无法占我们的便宜。
b.　The word that we receive in a living way as the Spirit is a spiritual antibiotic that kills the "germs" within us so that the evil forces in the air have no way to take advantage of us.
5　基督作为活的话，将神的本质灌注到我们里面，而基督作为击杀的话，杀死我们里面的对头，使我们成为祂得胜的见证，以完成祂永远的经纶，成就祂原初的目的─创一26。
5.　Christ as the living word infuses us with God's substance, and Christ as the slaying word kills the adversary within us to make us His overcoming testimony for the accomplishment of His eternal economy, the fulfillment of His original intention—Gen. 1:26.

III.　The testimony of Jesus is the spirit—the reality, substance, disposition, and characteristic— of the prophecy of the book of Revelation—Rev. 19:10:

H.　Ultimately, the testimony of Jesus is the New Jerusalem, the great universal, divine-human incorporation of the processed and consummated Triune God with His regenerated, transformed, and glorified tripartite people (Rev. 21:2-3, 22; cf. Exo. 38:21) and the unique lampstand as the consummation of all the lampstands for the consummate expression of God (Rev. 21:18, 23; 22:5).
