64-0308 The Token

"And the blood shall be unto you for a token upon the _______ 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."

• Church

• Land

• Ground

• House

Answer explanation

Para 1

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.

What was the thing that made the difference between the two nations of Egypt and Israel?

• The token

• Their race

• Their faith

• Their education

Answer explanation

Para 9-10

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.

10 And so will it be at the coming of the Son of God, when He brings the Bride out of the church, the difference will be the Token. Now, you listen close this afternoon, and see if that isn’t true. The Token will be the difference. There has got to be a difference.

What is a token?

• A covenant

• A symbol of peace

• A sign of a paid price

• A coin

Answer explanation

Para 13

Now we find out, a token, what is a token? A token is a sign of a paid price, the token is. Just like our railroads and bus lines, we take our money and go to a station. Now, see, the bus line is not allowed, in the places where tokens are used, they’re not allowed to take money. They cannot take money, it takes the token; say, the airplanes, whatever more. You go to a certain place, the purchasing counter, and purchase, from your money, so many tokens, this certain token. And this token is a sign that your fare has been paid. You have a right aboard the ship, aboard the plane, aboard the bus, or whatever it is, as long as you hold the token to show that your—that your ride has been paid for. Now remember that. Don’t forget it.

"No place will God ever meet any worshipper, only under _______. That’s His only place."

• The Blood

• Our theology

• Our denomination

• Our educational programs

Answer explanation

Para 14

Israel’s slain lamb was the…was God’s requirement. Jehovah required a slain lamb, an innocent substitute. As we’ve been through in the week gone by now, that God, when He makes a decision, He never changes it. And He made a way, His first thing that He did when man had fallen, He had to make a way for him back, if He ever wanted to redeem him, and He made a decision that He saved man by the Blood of an innocent One. And He has forever done the same thing. He has never changed it. No place will God ever meet any worshipper, only under the Blood. That’s His only place.

The lamb was the token

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Para 25

Now, see, the literal Blood of Jesus could not come upon each one of us, because He just had so much Blood in His body. And it’s dripped off, out of His body, into the ground, two thousand years ago; but it wasn’t to be for a Token. The Life, the Life that was in the Blood, was the Token now. I’ll prove it to you, just in a minute, by the Bible. It is the Token that’s to come upon each of us, to show that we have been identified with our Sacrifice, and have carried out Jehovah’s request.

Israel was to slay a male lamb without blemish, and the blood was to be taken with hyssop and put upon the lintel of the door. What does hyssop mean?

• "Your actions"

• "Your faith"

• "Stimulation"

• "Something that's hard to find"

Answer explanation

Para 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.”

You must have the Token

• True

• False

Answer explanation

Para 49

Now if you haven’t got that Token, you’ll not be coming in. You must have the Token. That’s the required price, “When I see the blood, the blood is the token. When I see the blood, I’ll pass over you.” You must have the Token. If you don’t, why, you won’t go. You’ve got to have the Token.

The word _______ means "a Divine revelator of the Word."

• Theologian

• Rabbi

• Pastor

• Prophet

Answer explanation

Para 84-85

84 The word prophet means “a Divine revelator of the Word.” The Word of the Lord come to the prophets. That’s how Jesus was identified. And they said after the resurrection, they said, “We know He was a prophet of God,” see, “no man could do these things ’less God be with him,” then wouldn’t accept His message. They wouldn’t accept John, and he was a prophet. Wouldn’t accept Elijah, none of the rest of them, and they had the Divine revelation. 85 The word, the English word, prophet, English words can mean anything, it means “a preacher.” But when you say prophet, of the old Bible, it meant “a seer.” And his credentials was, that, what he told come to pass, and that was a sign that he was a prophet; he also that was the sign that he had the Divine revelation of the written Word. And then God confirming it, behind him, proved it.

"He sent us the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the _______, and the Scriptural identification of Himself identifies Him among us, the same yesterday, today, and forever."

• Evidence

• Covenant

• Vindication

• Messenger

Answer explanation

Para 91

The same thing He has done today! What did He do? He sent us the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the Messenger, and the Scriptural identification of Himself identifies Him among us, the same yesterday, today, and forever. And the Token is the assurance. What are we scared about? Our fare is already paid and we are identified with our Sacrifice. He can’t turn you down. He promised that. We’re identified.

When Moses began his ministry, where did Israel gather for prayer and worship, from all parts of Egypt?

• Ethiopia

• Goshen

• Lebanon

• Canaan

Answer explanation

Para 92

Israel coming out of Egypt, as I said, is like the—the Bride coming out of the church. When Moses begin his ministry, Israel all gathered together in Goshen, for prayer and worship, exactly, come from all parts of the Egypt. That’s the way the Bride will do, it’ll come out of all of the Oneness, Twoness, Threeness, and all other kinds. It’ll come out. It’s got to. Now we read here in Hebrews the…We now, the first thing we must think of, come from all parts, “Come out from amongst unbelief.”
