  Now, see, fourteen days it was tested, that was Christ. Now notice, then He was killed in the evening time, should be killed, the lamb was. Christ died in the evening time, the afternoon. And then notice, then he was also...

Hebrews 6: 1 - 7 Deals with the crucifixion of the Light/Life.

2: Peter 1: 10 - 12  So an Entrance is ministered unto you.

  The blood was to be put on the door-post, see, which the blood is the life of the animal. "Thou shalt eat the flesh thereof; but the blood thereof which is the life, pour it out." See? It was to be... The blood was to be put on the lintel of the door-post of the house wherein the sacrifice was accepted. Glory! What is the Life? The Name. The... He placed the name of the person... Go up to the door, and you look, see what name's on the door before you ring the bell. See? The blood was put on the lintel of the door as a type of what the sacrifice was on the inside.

 

What brother Branham is telling us here is that it is customary for people to have their name on the front door of their home. The door then, being the entrance to the home is where the identification of  presence is located. If I want to know who's home it is I go to the door first. I look to see who lives there, checking first the name to make sure I have the correct place and then I knock to gain entrance.

 

Now, in this country, we are a bit more petrified because of crime, so we don't do this to the same extent as other cultures. We have our names on our mail boxes, or just address numbers to identify who lives here.  But in Europe and other places in the world where you find people living in cities, they will have the family name over the door or on the lintel or door post or engraved in some sort of fixture or ornament. We have a door knocker that was given to us with our name on it. The name is an identifier, to help our guests to know what home we live in.

 

Exodus 12: 1 - 13.   Now notice here that there is a real significance associated with the blood.  First of all it is to be placed on the lintel and door post which in itself is a sign of the cross showing symbolism of the coming Messiah. And thus also showing or foreshadowing How the real Lamb of God, when He comes, how He would die. But I also want you to notice something else here. God tells them that the blood is to identify what is going on in that particular home. And He says in verse 7 that it is where they are eating the Lamb. So the blood marks the place where a feast is to be taking place. But it also is to mark the homes so that the death angel will bypass that home.

 

Exodus 12: 12 - 13 (read) It is considered a Token, a symbol that is shown so that all will know that payment has been rendered. And God said, when that symbol is displayed, He would pass over and not allow the plagues to come and destroy.  Now notice, He said, " The blood shall be for a token."  The blood for a token. And "When I see the blood," When I see the blood... It must be on display, not just talked about, not just there somewhere... hidden, not just at the church where you attend, not just at your pastor's house, ...No that will not satisfy the death angel, but when I see the display of what you are feeding on, then I will pass over you and  so shall my destroying angel. 

 

Notice, He said, the blood is for a display of what is going on inside that home. Verse 7 (read)  "on the door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat It."   So the blood shows that the activity in that home is that they are feeding on the sacrificial Lamb. And so must the Token in this day be displayed. And what is that Token. It is the blood, which is the Word. And it must be on display or you are lost.

 

Collosians 1: 9 - 14

Romans    5:  1 -   9

1 John      1:  7

 

Now, if the Token then was an outward display of what activity was going on in the home, and that activity was eating the sacrificial Lam, then if He is the same yesterday, today and forever, then won't He demand the same thing today? Then what does our token display. The blood, today, what is it?  It is the Word. And the Word displayed on our homes shows that the activity that is taking place in our home is that we are feeding on the Lamb of God. The Word of the Hour. Your token displayed today will show an evidence that you are eating from the Provided sacrifice of this hour, the Revealed Word of God. And if your home does not display this, then  it will not be protected from the death angel when he comes.

 

God said, "I will pass over" not I will think about it, not , "well the odds are in your favor, or  maybe you might luck out, but He gave us His Word, "I will pass over and the plagues shall not be upon you to destroy you."  He said, "I will pass over"  and He is not a man that he can lie.

 

HEBREWS 6: 17 - 18 (read)  Immutability =  unalterable  what are the two things, 1) God's oath, He gave us His Word, and 2) He can not lie, it is impossible for God to lie.  So you have His Word and He can never go against His Word. He Who promised the Word is here to confirm it, to make it happen.

 

Romans 4: 16 - 24  (read)  Righteousness is being persuaded that when God promises something He will also perform it.

Philippians 1: 6 (read)  He which began the good work in you shall perform it.

 

 174 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M

  Now we're going to find the place of worship, right through there, coming through that Blood. Notice, the blood on the door was speaking the name of what was going... was on the inside, they were in there. Our place of worship, the Lamb, is the Word. We know that.

 

Now let's examine this a little further because God also explained to Moses how the people were to be eating it. And He also showed how they were to be dressed when they eat it.

 

Exodus 12: 7 - 11 (read) with your loins girded..  now the attire was all part of the Token being0identified 

Luke 12:  29 - 40 (read)  there is something about having the loins girded.  Now notice what was to be girded first. It is the loins. That is where the male seed is said to reside. So we see then that part of the attire has to do with the way we protect the Seed. The Life that has been given to us by this Word.

 

Ephesians 6: 13 - 14 (read)  This tells us that the gird for the loins is Truth. Truth then is what we must have to protect the Seed or Life that God has given to us. So as good stewards of His Seed Life we must protect that Life with the Truth.

 

1 Peter 1: 13 (read) Notice here we find that the Girding at the time of the Revelation of Christ is to be the loins of our mind. Now as I said earlier here, the loins represent the place where semen or seed is kept. So he is letting us know here the Loins of our mind, the mind then is the place where the seed life of God dwells in us by the new birth and we are to protect our minds, or the seed life of God in our minds and have it ready to move out at the time of the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

 

1 Peter 1: 22 - 23 (read)  Then the new birth has to do with the mind.  Acts 13: 48 "And as many as were ordained to Eternal Life believed."

Exodus 12: 11 (read)  Why shoes on your feet.. Ephesians 6: 13 - 15 (read)

 

And your staff in your hand. Notice the word here is a Hebrew word ( maqqel) which is called a rod or stick unless you are traveling, then it is called a staff.  And finally, notice how they were to eat it. Every bit of it. Not 90% not 99% of it, but every bit. "Man shall not live by bread alone but by EVERY WORD ...that proceeds from the mouth of God."  Every Word.     And finally they were to eat it in haste.  1 Peter 1: 13 (read)  Gird up for what? Not just protection, but you gird up when you get ready to move out.

 

Hebrews 4: 9 - 11 (read)   Spoudazo, to use speed, be prompt, using diligence in study.

 

 175 GOD'S.PROVIDED.PLACE.WORSHIP - SHP.LA - V-7 N-4 - 65-1128.1M

  Now, verse 4, notice, "Leave no bread, leave none of the sacrifice," or, take one from one age to another.  Try to go back and say, "Well, now, we're Lutherans, we want to come up here," you've got to die to the Lutheran age to be borned in the Wesley age. You have to die in the Wesley age to be borned in the Pentecostal age. And you have to die in the Pentecostal age, leave nothing of it left, burn it with fire, because it's going to be burnt like the stalk that the wheat comes up out of. The stalk, the denomination, it's got to be burned. So don't bring your denomination over in the new Message. This is the Word now. That's what denominated, the stalk; it carried It, that's right; but It come over into here, then the stalk died. It was a carrier, the denomination, but the Word goes right on. Yeah, the Word goes right on.
