<TITLE>03. Par 16-24</TITLE>L-16   Now, Israel's slain lamb was the requirement of Jehovah, and the blood was the token that the job had been done. God required for redemption, from Egypt, to go to the promised land, He required a slain animal. And that animal must have... The blood of the dead animal must be put upon the lintel and on the door, and that stood for the token that the thing that Jehovah had required had been fulfilled. See? Now, not the lamb was the token, the blood was the token. Now, the life had gone out from the sacrifice, and now the blood was the token. His orders had been carried out. The blood stood for the token, the sign that this believer had done exactly what the requirement was. That was the token. All right, seeing the believer, worship, was then identified with his sacrifice. See?

L-17   Here is the house, and the worshiper, what was the requirement? "Slay a lamb. On the fourteenth day after it was put up, a--a male without blemish, all Israel shall slay it, and the blood shall be taken with hyssop and put upon the lintel of the door."

L-18 And, by the way, that hyssop was just common weeds. Hyssop means "your faith." Somebody tries to have supernatural faith, that's the reason you miss your healing. Faith is just a common thing. You got faith to come to church. You got faith to walk out there. You got faith to start your car. You got faith to eat your dinner. That's the way it is, just common faith. Now to apply the blood, was applied with hyssop, which is just common weeds that grows anywhere in Palestine, showing that the faith that the blood is to be applied by is not some super thing you have to have all kind of doctor's degree to do it. It's just common, everyday faith, to believe God. See? "Apply the blood," by faith, "with the hyssop."

L-19   Now, the worshiper, then, seen beneath this blood, showed that he had carried out Jehovah's request, and he was identified. The token showed he was identified with the slain lamb that Jehovah had required. The work was done. What a perfect type today, of Christ and the believer. When the Token is displayed to the believer, then It shows that it's been accepted and the work has been done.

L-20 Then, the blood was a token of identification, the blood itself. The animal bled, died, and his blood was on the wall. Now, animal life, that was in the blood. And life is in the blood, we know that. The Bible said so, and science proves it, life is in the blood. So therefore when the animal was killed, and the life was broken from the animal, the blood had to be the chemistry of the blood, to stand for the token. Because, the life that was in the blood could not come back upon the believer, because it was an animal's life.

L-21 And an animal life and a human life is absolutely different. There is no, nothing in it at all. You took, take an animal's blood and put in you, you'll die. So you see, we, it's a--it's a different life in the animal blood than there is in the human blood, because the human has a soul. The animal has no soul.

L-22   And now, therefore, the blood itself, understand now, the red chemistry, chemicals of the blood, had to stand out on the door, as a token that the lamb had died, now, because the life of the lamb could not come back on the human worshiper. But today... It was only a type.

L-23 Today it isn't the chemical Blood of the Lord Jesus, our Lamb, but it's the Life that was in the Blood, which is the Holy Ghost. It comes back and is the Token that we have accepted and did exactly what God told us to do. And then, by having the Token, we are identified with our Sacrifice. Perfectly. I don't see how anything more could be any plainer. See?

L-24   Only way anyone could tell that that house belonged, too, under the blood, because the chemistry of the blood was on the doors. They passed through, the death Angel had to look and see the blood. Now, again, it was a type of the Holy Spirit.
