“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. no: Heb. no morning”
Isaiah 8:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Isaiah 8:20
The command to consult 'the law and the testimony' provides the proper alternative to occultism. 'Law' (Torah) and 'testimony' (prophetic witness) together constitute divine revelation—God's written word. The conditional 'if they speak not according to this word' establishes Scripture as the standard for testing all teaching. The verdict 'there is no light in them' pronounces darkness and deception on any teaching contradicting Scripture. This is the Reformed principle of sola Scriptura—Scripture alone is our supreme authority, the sole infallible rule of faith and practice.
