[PART II]

6. The Token today is The Holy Ghost.

It took a Token for The First Born Children of Israel to escape Death on The Eve of The Exodus. It took a Token for Rahab and all her kinsfolk to escape death when Joshua came to destroy Jericho.

There is yet another more serious destruction coming upon this earth, and its atmosphere, and all the works of man. Peter the Apostle said: [II PETER 3:6 -7]

“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:

But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.”

God being “the same yesterday and today and forever” provided a TOKEN for escape for them who will accept God’s provided way of escape from this oncoming judgment. Peter further said:

[II PETER 3:10]

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

No Spaceship will survive. No bunkers will withstand that fervent heat. There won’t be any oceans left for any submarines to hide in. It will be God’s time to face mankind face to face. There will not be one soul courageous enough to face God without the Token. Whether they be Military genius, tenacious military dictators, great monarchs, Scientists of great achievements, astronauts who could take refuge into the blues, religious founders who thought and presumed they knew him, young or old, non will be able to stand before The King of kings, and Lord of lords without that Token. This is what John was shown: [REVELATION 6:14 -17]

“ And the heaven departed as a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.

And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?”

Before God’s judgment strikes the earth, those whom he foreknew received their token which also was their boarding Pass. This time, this token is the dynamic power; the Holy Ghost Himself; God in the hearts of those ordained to meet Him in the air. [I THESS. 4:13 -17]

“But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:”

Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

THE DEITY OF JESUS CHRIST. JEFF. IN V20. N12, 1949 -12 - 25

“133 ... And without Christ, without the Holy Ghost your soul is lost. Remember that.”

[Romans 8:9]

“But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any men have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.”

In the parable of the 10 virgins, we are told, 5 were foolish and 5 were wise. They were all waiting for the catching away. They all had their lamps with them, trimmed and ready. But alas! The 5 foolish did not have oil in their lamps. So even if they had faith for the catching away, they did not have the fuel to ignite the spark which their faith produced.

The Holy Ghost is the power which will fuel the spaceship for the End Time Astronauts. This flight is so fast that it requires a dimensional change first. [I COR.15:51-53]

“51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal [must] put on immortality.:

So, those who have been taught that Brother Branham has to return first to give them the Holy Ghost are lost. Also, those who have been taught that when they believe the message they have the Holy Ghost, these also are lost as the foolish virgins were lost. You who believe in RETURN MINISTRY, listen to what Brother Branham said:

GOD'S POWER TO TRANSFORM. PHOENIX, AZ. V16 N5, 65-09-11

274 To you people here now that's in the auditorium, I've had you here a long time. I thank you for your attendance. And I pray that God will never let this Seed die. I hope you don't think I stand here just to say these things to be different. I said 'cause of love and knowing that while I'm mortal, as I am now, is the only time I'll ever be able to preach to people. And I love Jesus Christ. He's my Saviour. And remember, I'd have been out there on the street if it hadn't have been for Him. I'd have been out there; all my parents, all my people were sinners. But God, with His transforming power, I know it made a different creature out of me. And I can--I can recommend It to you to be good. And it'll keep in the hours of trouble. Even at death at the door, you have no fear. "There's nothing can separate us from the love of God, that's in Christ." May God bless each one of you and give you Eternal Life.

SO THERE IS NO RETURN MINISTRY FOR BROTHER BRANHAM FOR MORE PREACHING.

QUOTE 2:

HEAR YE HIM. CHICAGO IL, 56-09-30

E-5 There isn't one thing left, as I see in the--in the prophetic Word, one thing left or one thing hindering the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ this very hour, not one thing left in the Bible. Everything has been fulfilled, waiting now for the coming of the Lord Jesus. And how should we do this afternoon? We should speak and act today as if this is the last hour we'll ever have. And who knows but what it might be. It may be for some of us, and it may be for all of us. But let's act as if it's our last hour. Let's pray as never before. And let's be a blessing to others, and try to do all we can; for remember, this is only one time that we're mortal.

From this on, from the time that we leave this world, we go into another world, and we'll never have the opportunity to win one soul in that world. All that's going to be won, will be won right now. And if this may be our last hour then what should we do on this hour? And it's 'lotted to my time to speak this afternoon, and tonight I'm to pray for the sick people.

SO, SOUL WINNING IS RIGHT NOW, NOT WHEN MORTALITY HAS PUT ON IMMORTALITY.

QUOTE 3

ELISHA THE PROPHET. CHICAGO, IL. 56 -10 - 02E

E-17 Now, Elijah was a--Elijah was a stern man and very bold, and he was set in here for an example. God placed him here to show His Divine judgment through this man. And Elijah, his successor, was a young fellow and not too old, probably in his forties or something, when God called him. And he received a double portion of the Spirit of God that was upon Elijah, come upon Elisha. Oh, what a type there that is of the Church. See, as Elijah the prophet was taken up and Elijah asked... Elisha asked Elijah, or vice versa it was, Elijah asked Elisha, "What will you that I do for you?"

And watch. He asked a great thing: "That a double portion of your Spirit come upon me."

Now, the Bible wants us to ask for big things, not to be satisfied, "Lord, yeah, I belong to church now. That's enough." No, that's not enough for me. I want to do something else. I want great things. "Well, Lord, by His grace, I claim a million souls for Christ in my own individual ministry, a million souls or better." I'm not satisfied with that. I want two or three million souls for Christ. Just got to keep going as long as I got breath and energy to move, I just want to keep on going. Because this is the only time I'm going to be able to do that. Right now (See?), right now. And this may be your last time that you'll have the opportunity to do it.

The Prophet explicitly said: “... THIS IS THE ONLY TIME I’ M GOING TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT”There is no more Soul winning preaching after The resurrection of the dead in Christ.

If you get misled by these End Time wolves in sheep skin, it is your fault.Our Prophet warned us over and over that after he is gone, Janneses and Jambres will arise to pervert the truth he gave us. What excuse will you have on the Day of Judgment?

7. The TOKEN MUST BE DISPLAYED AND VISIBLY SEEN BY ALL.

In the days of Ezekiel, God sent a message to mark those who would escape the slaughter that was coming. So those who did not have their token displayed, died.

[EZEKIEL 9:1-11]

1 He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man [with] his destroying weapon in his hand.

2 And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them [was] clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.

3 And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which [had] the writer's inkhorn by his side;

4 And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.

5 And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:

6 Slay utterly old [and] young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom [is] the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which [were] before the house.

7 And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.

8 And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?

9 Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah [is] exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.

10 And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, [but] I will recompense their way upon their head.

11 And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which [had] the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.

NOTICE, THIS JUDGMENT STARTS FROM THE PULPIT. IT STARTS WITH THE MINISTERS [Church Age Messengers and down to LOCAL ASSEMBLIES PASTORS]

We cannot be saying one thing and be living another kind of life. We must be written epistles, read of all men. We cannot be a candle lit and then hid under a bushel. [MATTHEW 5:14-16]

“14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”

Remember, The Token is not a put on. It is The Literal Life of Jesus Christ lived through you. When you are marked, it is either that you HAVE THE HOLY GHOST IN YOU, or YOU DON’T HAVE HIM IN YOU.

So better check up now, before it is too late. Don’t wait for tomorrow what you could do today.

God bless you. Read, or listen to the Messages: “DESPERATION” and “THE TOKEN”
