testimony, witness

Dictionary of Biblical Words:

is the same as witness. “The testimony” is often used in a very technical way to mean the special truth given by God specially at any given time, and which is to be witnessed for by His people. Thus “the present testimony” may be said to be the fact of Christ being raised and glorified, the Holy Ghost given, the one body formed, and the Lord’s return.

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

(witness). The entire revelation of God (Psa. 119:88,99⁸⁸Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth. (Psalm 119:88)
⁹⁹I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation. (Psalm 119:99)); the tables of stone (Ex. 25:16¹⁶And thou shalt put into the ark the testimony which I shall give thee. (Exodus 25:16)); the ark in which the tables were deposited (Ex. 25:22²²And there I will meet with thee, and I will commune with thee from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubims which are upon the ark of the testimony, of all things which I will give thee in commandment unto the children of Israel. (Exodus 25:22)); the gospel of Christ (1 Cor. 1:6⁶Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you: (1 Corinthians 1:6); Rev. 1:2²Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
