<TITLE>07. Par 60-75</TITLE>L-60 I don't care what you done, you've got to have the Token or you don't get on. Amen and amen. Can't you see it? God requires that Token. "When I see the blood, and only will I pass over you when I see the token."

L-61   It was not displayed, the covenant wasn't even in effect. A Jew could absolutely say and prove himself to be a--be a circumcised Jew, he could take the brethren out and say, "Look here, I am circumcised." That didn't mean one thing.

L-62 You say, "I'm Methodist. I'm Baptist. I'm Pentecostal. I'm this. I'm that." That don't mean one thing.

L-63 You've got to have the Token. And when the Token comes, It testifies of Christ. He said It would. And Christ is the Word. And how can you deny that the Bible is true, part of It, and still say you have the Token, when the Token is the testimony of Jesus Christ? See, there is what I wonder.

L-64 "Oh," say, "I don't believe, I believe the days of miracle..." Oh, look out, there is no Token there. The Token punctuates every Word with an "amen," everything, 'cause it's God Itself. See? All right.

L-65   But if the token was not there, the covenant was not in effect. It was annulled. Same now! No matter how--how much you say, how much you'd say, "I believe every Word in the Bible," say, "Brother Branham, I--I can quote you half of that Bible, all the Bible, by heart. I believe every bit of It." That's good. Satan does, too. Uh-huh. It takes the Token!

L-66 "Well, Brother Branham, I've got my wall full of degrees. I'm a Bachelor of Art, and I have a doctor's degree, and an LLD. of Latin. And, oh, I've wrote books. I've done this. I done everything. I've--I've done all these things." I don't care. That's all alright, but yet you've got to have the Token. The Token, still the Token is required!

L-67 You say, "I'm a Bible student. I'm a--I'm a good person. I'm this, that." That may be fine, that's all good, but still it's got to have the Token!

L-68   Now, death was ready to strike Egypt at any time, and so is death ready to strike the nation now at any time.

L-69 Anna Jeanne, I feel something like your dad, said a remark one time. I've always liked that. He said, "You know, this nation, with the same sins, if God lets America get by with what she is doing, He will be morally obligated to raise Sodom and Gomorrah up and apologize to them, for burning them." And that's right.

L-70 Remember, Israel paid for every sin she did, and so will we. How loosely are we getting? Tighten up the armor! Come back to God, church! Not saying these things to be different. I'm telling you as a warning. You believe!

L-71   Death was ready to strike. God had showed them His grace and His mercy, through powers and signs and wonders (so has He today before taking the Church out), still they desired not to repent and to believe the message.

L-72 See, there was a message just before the taking out of the church. There always has to be. Same now. Every spiritual happening is a sign from God. Do you believe that? [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] Like the Message, there is a sign and then the Message follows the sign. God told Moses, said, "If they won't believe the voice of the first sign, maybe they'll believe the voice of the second sign."

L-73   Now, when you see signs going on, and no message behind it, just the same old school of theology and on down, that wasn't from God. But where there is a sign showed, a Message follows it. Now look. Jesus come on the scene...

L-74 Am I deafening you? Or ever who is on this microphone here, sounds like it's coming back. Maybe it's a little loud. I want you to get it.

L-75   When Jesus came on the scene, He never said very much to people, everybody wanted Him in his church. "Oh, this young Prophet, we're just so happy to have Him." He was healing the sick. "Oh, glory to God. God has raised up a great Man among us." That was fine. So one day it come to a spot to where... That was His sign.
