<TITLE>01. Par 1-9</TITLE>64-0308, The Token, Soul's Harbor Temple, Dallas, TX, 87 min
L-1      The reading of the Word. For the closing service, the reason I asked you to stand... When they play The Star-Spangled Banner, you stand. Don't you? [Congregation says, "Yes."--Ed.] Then why not for the Word of God? It's a respect. Now over in the Book of Exodus, the 12th chapter, beginning with the 12th verse, I wish to read a portion of Scripture, 12th and 13th verse.
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite... the firstborn in the land of--of Egypt, both man and beast; and... will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
And the blood shall be unto you for a token upon the house where ye are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.

L-2 My subject is: The Token.

L-3 Let us bow our heads now. And in His stillness of this sacred moment, before approaching Him in prayer, is there a request that you would like for God to answer this afternoon? Just lift up your hands if you do, and think down in your heart what you want Him to do. Anywhere in the building, just think what you want Him to do.

L-4   Our Heavenly Father, Thou art the unchangeable God, and we pray that You will answer our prayers, this afternoon, as--as we are holding our hands. And Thou dost notice that my hands are up, too. And my request, I'll make it known publicly, that is, Lord, that You'll heal every person in here today, save every lost one. Now, You said, "If you ask the Father anything, in My Name, I'll do it." Now, Lord, help us together to believe as a unit of people, of believing children. Speak through Thy Word, Lord. Thy Word is Truth. Bless our hearts.

L-5 We thank You for this meeting. We thank You for Brother Grant, and for all of his workers, and all the churches and people. And for all that You've done for us, Lord, we're grateful to You. Father, there may be many of us here will never see each other again now, until we see on the other side. This may be the last service that we'll sit together in this earth. May the Holy Spirit come and bless us together, minister unto us our needs. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen.
May be seated.

L-6   I have a little tablet of paper here, I write out some Scriptures and little things. Used to be I could remember it in my mind, but I just passed twenty-five, you know, that is, the second time. And then I don't remember like I used to, and so many wound up in the meetings and things, and so much to do.

L-7 Our subject this afternoon is: The Token. Our scene opens in Egypt. It's a great picture here now, I want you all to see it and just be as reverent as you can. Egypt is the place of the scene, and the time of the scene is just at the beginning of the exodus.

L-8   And, now, it's a type of today, shown, as we are also facing another exodus. God bringing Israel out of Egypt, to the promised land, was a type of Christ bringing the Bride out of the church, to the promised Land. We are in another exodus. Now if you'll study the Scripture, we just have time to hit the high spots of it, that's true. We are the... As God brought a nation out of a nation, God will bring the Bride out of a church. The Bride will be called from all the churches. It'll be the elected of God, will be brought out. And we're on the verge of that exodus right now, for we have every Scriptural proof that we're standing there. Now, I know that's been said a lot of times, but, my friend, one time it'll be said for the last time. Time will fade into Eternity then. He is coming to take a Bride out of a church.

L-9   The token was the thing that made the difference between Egypt and Israel, the two nations. They were all human beings, but all God-created, all the handiwork of God, but, the difference when the death penalty was passed, the difference between life and death was the token.
