What is the law and what is the testimony ? ( Israel is a perfect example of complete lack of law and testimony.)


To understand what this is, is to have light inside.

Another guidance to what Isaiah 8:20 is speaking about, is in proverbs.

Pity upon the poor is lending to the Lord, and the Lord repays that which was given again.

Alsohow unjust people ( Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and DESTITUTE OF THE TRUTH, SUPPOSING THAT GAIN IS GODLINESS: from such withdraw thyself. 1 Timothy 6:5.) who by usuary to GET UNJUST GAIN, really only gather all they have for the ones who will pity and give to the poor.




Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.

Proverbs 28:8 He that by usury and unjust gain increaseth his substance, he shall gather it for him that will pity the poor.



Jesus gave the law and the testimony, of the light which is spoke about in proverbs, that with what measure you make, that same measure is returned to you again. (lend unto the Lord; and that which he has given will he pay him again.)

This is the testimony, that we are evil, but give good to our children, and God gives more good things to us, than we do to others, being evil. This then is exactly what the law and the prophets are testified to be, that we are to believe in doing all things to men as we would like to be done for ourselves. ( both from God and from men.)



Matthew 7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.



Now we are beginning to learn what the testimony of what light in the Lord means,
( O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. Isaiah 2:5
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: .Ephesians 5:8.)

Light of the Lord, ( to the law and to the testimony or there is no light in them.) is to WALK AS CHILDREN OF LIGHT.

Jesus told the world the testimony, to be merciful as our Father is merciful, no condemning to not be condemned ourselves, (
And THIS IS THE CONDEMNATION, that LIGHT IS COME INTO THE WORLD, and MEN LOVED DARKNESS rather than light, because THEIR DEEDS WERE EVIL John 3:19. ) to give, and it shall be given to us, men giving to us, for with the same measure that we make, it is measured to us again.

The blind cant lead us, they are not in any of the light, the parables meaning is clear, we are to believe in the law and testimony of Christ, nothing else.

Jesus testifies to us to be careful how we hear, how the same measure we make is measured to us, and to those who hear, ( the law and the testimony) more shall be given. To him that has, ( light) more shall be given, from him that has not, ( who has darkness) it is taken from him what he had. ( seemed to have light/blind leader of the BLIND.. Luke 8:18.)




Luke 6:36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
39 And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.

Luke 8:18 Take heed therefore how ye hear: for whosoever hath, to him shall be given; and whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he seemeth to have.

Mark 4:24 And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.
25 For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath.




Israel who labours not for eternal life, asked what to do for temporary life ? Jesus answered Israel to instead believe on who God had sent to them. The Jews continued to seek signs.

The apostle Paul, ( persecuted by the Jews of Israel) continued how flaming fire is the vengeance on those who do not know God, who failed to obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, when He comes to be admired by all those who believe, because their testimony among them was believed in that day.

That was why they prayed always for those who hear, that God would count them worthy of this calling, to fulfil all the good pleasure of His goodness, the work of faith with power, ( the work of God is to believe on Him whom He sent.) that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in them, and them in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.




John 6:27 Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.
28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?

2 Thessalonians 1:8 In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ:
9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power;
10 When he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be admired in all them that believe (because our testimony among you was believed) in that day.
11 Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:
12 That the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

What is the law and what is the testimony ?
He will be as a Sanctuary; Isaiah 8:14
Isaiah 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
A glorious high throne from the beginning Is the place of our Sanctuary. Jer 17:12-13

So I have looked for You in the Sanctuary, To see Your power and Your glory. Ps 63:2
( O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord. Isaiah 2:5
May He send you help from the Sanctuary; Ps 20:2 [He gives help to the seed of Abraham. Heb 2:16] [Therefore, having obtained help from God, I stand witnessing of that which the prophets and Moses said would come... Acts 26:22-23]
For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: .Ephesians 5:8.)
The Heavenly Sanctuary
But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, Heb 9:11
Who has come according to the power of an endless life. Heb 7:16 He became the source of eternal salvation... Heb 5:9

The law of the Lord perfectly revives the soul. The testimony of the Lord is trustworthy; Psalm 19:7

That we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Col 1:28 The word of the Lord is proven; Ps 18:30

“We have found Him of whom Moses in the law, and also the prophets, wrote—Jesus..."

The Scriptures opened
Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” Luke 24:44

He comes glorified in His saints, [John 17:22], [2 Peter 1:3] and admired by all those believing -- because you have believed our testimony. 2 Thess 1:10, 1 Thess 1:5

"I have not come to undo the law or the testimony of the prophets; I have come to fulfil." Matt 5:17

Which are things the prophets and Moses said would come—23 that the Christ would suffer, that He would be the first to rise from the dead, and would proclaim light to the Jewish people and to the Gentiles. Acts 26

You are the children of the prophets and covenant God made with Abraham, saying, ‘And in your seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.’ To you first, God, having raised up His Servant Jesus, sent Him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from your iniquities.” Act2 3:25-26
For you are all one in Christ Jesus. And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Gal 3:26-29
