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 worshipper. But today... It was only a type.

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 a 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?

24 Only way anyone could tell that that house belonged to--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.

Now, see, the literal Blood of Jesus could not come upon each one of us, because He was--just had so much Blood in His body. And it's dripped off of you--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.

26 Peter said, on the day of Pentecost, "Repent, every one of you, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to them that's far off, as many as the Lord our God shall call." See, not showing it just to them: "As many as the Lord will call."

There's many think they're called. But all the Lord calls... Those who He foreknew, He called; all who He called, He justified; all who He justified, He has glorified already. The thing is settled.

And then when you take a person that doesn't believe that the Holy Ghost is for the day, see what they're doing? They are denying the Token which is the very symbol of you being connected with your Sacrifice. See, see what I mean? It's very simple if you just look at it in--in the way that God has got it wrote out now. The Blood carried us and we were--shows the--the symbol of the Holy Spirit, that is, the Life.

29 Now, the animal life could not come back in the human, because they wouldn't match; the animal life has no soul in it. The human life has a soul. The animal doesn't know he's naked. He doesn't know right from wrong. He--he's just... He has a--a spirit, but not a soul. Now remember, now the soul is the nature of the spirit, of course.

Now watch, but then when the Life of our Sacrifice, Jesus Christ, when His Blood was shed. He was God bottled up in one Man. Now, He come down from being Jehovah to identify Himself as a human being, to take upon Himself the form of man to identify us with Him. He was the Lamb of God. And on the inside of Him, where the Blood...

31 Now, I know somebody says, "He was the Jewish blood." You hear the Jews say that. He wasn't Jewish blood, and neither was He Gentile blood. He was the Blood of God. He had neither Jewish... He wasn't neither Jew nor Gentile. He was God. "A--a--a virgin shall conceive."

Now, I know many of you people and the Protestants think that the egg was Mary's. And the--the hemoglobin which comes, the life comes in the blood cell. Because a hen can lay an egg; without being with the male bird, it won't hatch, because it's not fertile. Life comes from the bloodstream, which comes from the male sex. But in this case there was no male sex, so the Life in the blood, it had to come from God alone, and He created a Blood cell in the womb of Mary. God Himself, the Creator Himself, created a Blood cell. Now, look. They say, "Well, it was the body. Mary had the egg." No, sir. She was not no egg. If it was an egg, you cannot get the sperm without a sensation. And if he--she had a sensation, what do you have God doing?

He created both egg and Blood. That's exactly what He was. "We handled God," the Bible said. I Timothy 3:16, "Without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh. We handled Him with our hands." That body was God. Certainly was. He was God all over, in a form of a human being.

34 Now we notice in this, that that Blood cell being broken, that released God. "God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself," where no other one could do it, nothing else could be done; it taken that holy Blood Himself. God had to come down and become man to suffer His Own law. If Jesus was just a prophet, a man separated from God, then God is unjust.

If I could say, "Let Brother Grant die for some sin that Billy ought to die for, or something else, some penalty," that would be unjust. If I had my own boy to die for a penalty that I had pronounced, it still isn't just. There's only one justice I can do, that's take his place, if I want to save him.

And God had to become flesh in order to take the sinner's place: God manifested in the flesh, nothing less than God Himself. Now, here He was manifested in the flesh to take away the sins of the world. And He identified Himself in us, that we might be identified in Him. See the purpose of it?

37 Now, we find out our identification with our Sacrifice: the Life of the Sacrifice in us, which is the Holy Spirit. When that cell was broke, it released God, released God, that He'd sanctified a people with His Own Blood and put God in the man again: God in you, Eternal Life.

And any Greek scholar knows that that word, "Eternal Life," comes from the word "Z-o-e, Zoe," which means "God's Own Life." That's right. The only way that you ever can have Life, there's only one form of Eternal Life and that's God's Own Life in you. See? Then you have Eternal Life, because He is the only Eternal there is. And we are the attributes of His thoughts before there was even a foundation of the world or anything. All this is just His thinking, and we're the display of His thoughts of what it was.

39 And He had to come down in order to take away sin. No one else could do it. There wasn't no one worthy to do it. No one could do it but Him, and He did it. And then when that Life was released from that body, Man, which was the Son of God... His creative power made a building like any contractor built the building that He moved into Himself. God did that.

And then when that life was taken, the Blood, the chemistry of It, poured out upon the ground, just like just Abel's poured out upon the ground. But from that Blood came the Holy Spirit of God, and that was sent to man on the day of Pentecost to be identified with the Sacrifice that died for them. There's no other way in the world we can get it. A positive Token.

41 Look, if you was guilty of death, and you knowed you was going to the electric chair. And remember, to reject... Dallas, listen. To reject the Blood of Jesus Christ, the Token of His Blood, if you see It and reject It, you're going to face the judgment with His Blood on your hands. Sinner, church member, remember that.

What if Lee Oswald would've been able them few days, and that sweating before that Supreme Court that he had to face; and knowed from killing the President, that it wouldn't even be one speck of mercy, how that man must have felt. It must've been a terrific thing. He never got to face it, because the other fellow shot him. But think of setting there before an angry Supreme Court with the blood of your fellowman on your hand, the President of the United States. That'll be a mild thing to you people who pass by the Blood of Jesus Christ, when you'll stand by the courts of God. Sweat it out when you know... Oswald could done no more than depart this life for him, but God departs you eternally from His Presence. It'll be a terrific thing.

44 Notice. If you had to come to the courts of being guilty, you would seek the best lawyer you could find. Anybody would do it. And every man that's born in the world, I don't care how good of home he come out of, he's guilty of the Blood of Jesus Christ until he's accept the pardon of it. And the only way that you know the pardon is right, when the Token puts Itself upon you, and you have the Token.

Notice, you are guilty, and you would hunt the best attorney that you could find to plead your case. And if I was going to the judgment of God, I don't want no priest; I don't want no man; I want the best attorney I can find to plead my case.

Let me say to this, to you, my Christian friend. Our Attorney is also our Judge, and our--our Judge became our Attorney. The case is settled when we receive His pardon. The Judge Himself came down and became the Attorney, and the Attorney and Judge is the same Person. God become man, that He might justify man by His Own death that He placed upon him. Hallelujah. That means, "Praise our God." He deserves all praises. Our judge and our Attorney is the same Person.
