<TITLE>05. Par 44-50</TITLE>L-44   Israel's lamb, slain, was the requirement of Jehovah. To escape death, there must be a substitute death. And Jehovah required the slain lamb, and the blood was a token that the requirement had been made. Now, the blood was--was a sign that something had died, and the blood itself was the token. It was saying, that, "This house has met the requirements of Jehovah's word, and therefore it is protected by this token, that our fare has been paid."

L-45 What a beautiful type here, Christ is to this, what a type of our Token of today!

L-46   The life was come from the sacrifice. And now the blood was the token, His orders had been carried out. The blood! Jehovah didn't have to see you kill the lamb. You just had the blood on the door when the death angel went through, and it was a token that the lamb had died. The blood was the token that Jehovah's requirements had been met in this house, and that the price had been paid, and the token was that. "When I see the token, I will pass over you." When the token is there, showed the price. See, the blood was not death, but it was the token of the death. "When I see the blood, I'll know the death price has been made, so I'll pass over you."

L-47   Watch, see, the believing worshiper was identified with his sacrifice, by the token. The worshiper who believed Jehovah, and had met Jehovah's requirement, had identified himself by applying the token to himself and to his house, that was, the worshiper believed that. A perfect type of Christ of this day! Then, the blood was a token of identification, that this believer has already met Jehovah's requirement. "And I am sure the death angel will have to pass from my house, because I have met Jehovah's token. A lamb has died, instead, for my family and my loved ones that's under this blood, and there is the token that the lamb is dead." Amen. "There is the token. God's requirements has been satisfied." Amen. When I think of it, my heart jumps for joy.

L-48   Now, the animal life could not come back upon the believer, so therefore the blood had to stand for the token. See, the blood, wrapped up into the animal which was started from a single cell of blood, had made all this blood that was in the animal. When this blood was separated, the life left the animal. Now, the worshiper, identifying himself with the blood, had to show the literal chemical of the blood. Why? That's all he could show. Because, the life of the animal could not come upon the human being, because the life of the animal doesn't have a soul. But the human being has a soul. Therefore the life could not come back, so the blood had to stand for the token of the death.

L-49   Now we have a Token in this day. We've been given a Token which is an antitype of that type. Of that natural token, we've been given the Supernatural, supreme Token. All that that foreshadowed has been given to this generation, has been given the Token. Now we have the Holy Ghost, is our Token, and It is our identification that we have accepted the death of the Lamb. Not only was Jesus just a human life to come back on us, but It was God Himself manifested in flesh, that brought back upon us the adoption of sons, that now we are sons and daughters of God. That is the Token. It's our identification of the passover. It's our identification that we have believed God, and God has accepted.

L-50   Back there they didn't have the Gospel as we have it today, it was taught in forms and it went through rituals, because the Holy Spirit wasn't given.
