<TITLE>04. Par 34-46</TITLE>L-34 And, tonight, God requires the baptism of the Holy Ghost, for a proof that we've been identified in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. There is nothing short of it. The Bible teaches it, plain, and we must believe it. It's God's Word. God is requiring it. We're having an exodus, again. We all know that. Israel was marching to the promised land, so will the Bride go to her Home, pretty soon.

L-35   Now we find out, the blood was a token, and--and was identified. Everyone was identified by the blood.

L-36 The Holy Ghost is our Token, today, to identify us by, with Jesus Christ, in His resurrection. The Blood being applied by faith.

L-37 The chemistry of the Blood could not sprinkle every heart, we know that, because it was shed on Calvary. It bathed the ground. But out, when that Blood cell was broke, it released God, through the sanctifying power that the Blood had, to come back to believers.

L-38   God, in the beginning, was God, the Father, Who lived above all.

L-39 Just like the--the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel through the wilderness, He come down upon the mountain. If anybody touched the mountain, because, he must be killed. God is holy, and He cannot condone sin in no manner. And the man that touched that mountain died, even a beast had to be thrust through. When God came down, He was holy.

L-40 Then God, condescending, come down and was made in the form of a Man, that we could "handle Him, touch Him," the Bible said. In that teeny little Blood cell!

L-41   Many Jews wants to say He was a Jew. Many of us wants to say He was a Jew. He was neither Jew nor Gentile. He was God. He was the creative Being, by the hand of almighty God. He created the tabernacle He lived in, which we know as the Son of God. That's right. The deity, supreme deity of Jesus Christ, 'cause God dwelt in Him.

L-42 Peter said, "Ye men of Israel; Jesus of Nazareth, a Man made known by God, by signs and wonders, you've took with wicked hands and crucified Him. We were witnesses of His resurrection," when the Holy Ghost had been poured out upon them.

L-43 Now we find out, that in this great thing, that, as God was identifying Himself with Israel back there, and requiring that identification.

L-44   Now we find out here, the Jews could say, they might say, "Well, now, wait just a minute. I am a... I'm a Jew. I'm--I'm in the covenant of Abraham. I'm circumcised." The covenant had, was annulled, if the token wasn't displayed. Think of that! I'm talking of a Token of this day. If that blood wasn't displayed, that token, I don't care how much you could show you was a Jew, how much you said you believed. You might have been rabbi, priest, or anything, but that token had to be applied. No in's or out, yes or no; until He saw the blood, He would pass over.

L-45 Some fellows might say, "Come aside here. I can prove I was circumcised at eight days. The priest has record of it. My name is on the book up there." That didn't one thing to do with it. The--the token was the... If the token was not applied, the covenant was annulled. It was of none effect.

L-46   We must remember that what God says. He never takes back, but He adds to. "Them of old time, you hear them say, 'Thou shall not commit adultery,' but I say unto you, that whosoever looketh upon a woman to lust after her, hath committed adultery with her already." He never takes back; He adds to. He magnifies. That's what He does. All of His works, He continually magnifies them.
