<TITLE>13. Par 119-129</TITLE>L-119   And, then, so that there would be no mistake! The seed of this life that must be planted in the earth, of this body that is a--a perishable seed; and the life, if it's a perverted life in the seed, it perishes with the seed. But He put Eternal Life into it and identified it as His Own, that in the resurrection He'd raise it up again, not going to be lost. Do you see what I mean? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.]

L-120   There it is, it cannot perish now. The Life lays over it. It's a Token, lays over that little body, lays over that soul of that person. There is a Token over there, the Holy Spirit, that it belongs to God. It's His. "When I see the Token, I'll pass over you." A positive Token, the Holy Spirit is our Token. Therefore, when you receive the Holy Ghost, you've passed from death to Life. That's all there is to it, 'cause Life is in you. You can no more perish.

L-121 The Bible said, "He that's born of God does not commit sin, for he cannot sin, for the Seed of God," amen, "the Seed of God remains in him." And how can he sin when the sinless God is in him? When he's in a sinless God, how can he sin? No matter what he's done, the Blood's covered him. See? He's a new creature now. His desires and ambitions is of Heaven, because he's changed from a cocklebur to a wheat. His desires ain't the same as they once was, and he displays it.

L-122 You say, "Oh, I believe That." And still sinning? Na! You're deceived. See? It can't display nothing but the Token.

L-123   Israel was commanded to stay under that blood until marching orders come. "Don't go out from under it!" When once under that token, they were sealed in there. "Don't leave that!" They stayed right there until the midnight struck and the trumpets blowed. And when the trumpets blowed, the old rams horns begin to blow, each one marched out with his provision, going to the promised land.

L-124 So does a man or woman who is filled with the Holy Ghost, he is sealed away, and secured from all harm and danger. His whole life displays what he is, wherever he walks, whatever business he does, whoever he talks with. When he comes in contact with women, when he comes in contact with associates, when he comes in contact with everything, that Token is laying there. Amen! When it comes to death, "I'll fear no evil, for Thou art with me," that Token lays there. When it comes to the resurrection, he'll be there, for God will raise him up at the last day. Jesus said so! "When I see the Blood, the Token, I'll pass over you." Oh!

L-125   Remember, if that token was not displayed, even the covenant was annulled. That's right. The covenant was annulled. There was no--there was no covenant as long as that token wasn't there. The token stood for the covenant. God made a covenant with them, yes, sir, but the token had to be. It wasn't in effect, the covenant wasn't, unless the token was there.

L-126 There might be many Jews could say, "Come here! I ain't got no blood on my door, but I want to show you something, I'm a circumcised Jew. I am circumcised." That didn't mean that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] "When I see the blood! When I see the token!"

L-127 You might say, "I am Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist," or whatever you want to be.
But, "When I see the Token!"

L-128 You say, "I'm a believer. My mother was a member of this church. My daddy was a member of this church. I've been a member there since a child." That don't mean that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger--Ed.] "I don't lie, steal. I don't do this. I..." That don't mean that. [Brother Branham snaps his finger.] "I belong to Branham Tabernacle. I do this, that, or the other. I believe all the Word."

L-129   Them Jews could say, "I believe Jehovah!" He'd a listened to the Message of the hour, if he did. Certainly.
They'd had a lot of messages, but This was the Message of the hour. See? I believe the Message of the hour. Yeah. The blood was applied in the evening time.
They might have said, "I, I'm a Jew."
