<TITLE>14. Par 137-147</TITLE>L-137 I believe that the scarlet thread had to be displayed, or the angel, destroying angel, would have never honored anything else but that token when it was displayed. The messengers gave her a token, and she must keep it displayed.

L-138   Notice, Jericho had heard what God had done, but did nothing to take the warning.

L-139 The world today, it's not shut up in a side somewhere, the whole world knows these things goes on. The whole world has known. The Episcopalians, the Catholic, the Lutheran, all the denominations know that there is a God that works in His Word in this day, and keeps His signs and wonders moving. It's not just shut up in a corner. They heard It, but they did not want to receive It. They had.

L-140 His great Power and His signs had been played, displayed, but they didn't want to receive It. Just the same as it was in Sodom, His great signs and wonders had been displayed there, but they didn't want to receive It. So there wasn't nothing left but judgment, was next. They must believe the whole Word, to be safe. But they thought they were safe, perhaps, in their great big organization of Jericho, their city. They thought that was good enough, but it wasn't so.

L-141 But one little harlot. There must have been some tape boys slipped in there and played some of the tapes. The--the predestinated seed caught it and believed it. So, anyhow, they got in there for a message. They had church that night in her house. She used her house for a church, to receive the message.

L-142   O God, let us open our hearts and receive the Message, that Jesus is alive tonight. He is right here among us. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Open up your house and let the Messenger, the Holy Ghost, come in and identify you by His Own Presence, the Token that's upon you. Then you don't have to take anybody else's word for it, He is there to speak for Himself. And He is the Word. That's right. It's God's Token, to identify His Ownself.

L-143 She used her house for the messengers. Then she got all the city, that would believe, under the same token.

L-144 And that's the way the church should be doing today, getting everything that will believe, under the Token. The Token is the Holy Ghost. Just remember, they must get under the Holy Ghost.

L-145   And when God had destroyed his angels... The destroying angel come through, and when they seen the sign of the token, her house stood. The rest of Jericho fell down. But just the sounding of the trumpet, just think, and the whole walls fell down. They went straightway and utterly slayed everything there was in there, but all that was under that token was safe. Why? The messenger of God had come. They had told them the truth and they got under the token. Yes, sir. But many of them didn't want to believe it. So if they didn't want to believe it, they had to take the circumstances.

L-146 Same life that was in the token at Egypt, see, life, same thing like the life token in Egypt.

L-147   When they put the string down, that was the token. In that Gentile world, there was no blood applied for them yet, but they give a symbol of the red, of the token. So, when they saw the token; Joshua, a type of Jesus, was true to the token and sign that his messengers had preached, when Joshua give orders that no one should walk up to that house where that token was (no, sir), because no one was to be killed under that token. And Joshua really means "Jehovah Saviour," same as Jesus does. And when he sent his messengers, Joshua, another type to the Gentile world, and the Gentile, that little minority that believed and displayed this token, even the destroying angel recognized that token. See?
That's the only thing He'll recognize today.
