"The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy" Revelation 19.10
This statement of prophetic purpose - to reveal Jesus Christ - is very much akin to the purpose of the Holy Spirit as described by the Lord Jesus himself.
" He will glorify me, for He will take what is mine and declare it unto you." John 16:14
Peter wrote of the purpose of the Old Testament prophets - that they were searching for the detail of the coming Christ - His suffering and glory 1 Peter 1.10
To the Bible proud Pharisees, Jesus said "you search the Scriptures because you think in them you have eternal life : and it is they that bear witness about me" John 5.39
Again He said " If you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote of me" John 5.46
Let us not forget - the vital compass direction in Bible reading -- the Lord Jesus Christ.
