The Plagues of the Nations Pt.2
EXODUS 12:11-13
11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD'S passover. (Notice from last week we found out that in the first Exodus at the time of the last plague (which was death), the ones who had obeyed the message of the Exodus prophet were already safely under the blood and eating on the lamb, and the lamb is always Christ, and in this day Christ is the fresh kill of the word – “take the book and eat it John” is the same event. He that eateth me said Jesus, not eating Jesus physical body, but eating the fruit of the teaching from the tree of life which is the word)
12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.
13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses 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.
The Plagues of the Nations Pt.2
Recap from last week…
We notice that in the first Exodus the token was required because of the last plague that would come upon all the people regardless of whether they were Jews or Gentiles.
Up to that point the Jews were protected just by being in Goshen, so there protection was based on them being in a specific geographical location, but at the time of the last plague just before the Exodus, the requirement change, so in order to be protected against the plague, the blood of the Lamb was required to be displayed on their door post and lintel of their houses.
So what protected them before up to that point would not work against this last plague – so the protection now was to be associated with the blood of the lamb, and that blood had to be on display, and that was the token that God recognised.
Back in Moses time of the first Exodus we know that it was the display of the chemistry of the blood on their house, but now in this third Exodus under our Exodus prophet, it is not the display of the chemistry of the blood but the display of the life of the blood that we receive by the revelation of the word for this hour. The words of Christ are spirit and life, and so it is the spirit and life of the revealed word that becomes the Token in this hour.
The Token in this hour is not the chemistry of the literal blood of Jesus, but it is the spirit of the life of His blood that comes back on the believer by the revelation of the word of this hour because the voice of His blood is the word.

101 That's the reason that you don't see things happening in the churches. They confess that they believe the Blood, but they reject the very plan to get to the Blood; the Word. See?
You cannot claim to have the blood of Christ and reject the word at the same time.
What gives us access to the blood is by our acceptance of the word.
“the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life”.
****So you first receive the word of God into the womb of your mind by the way of hearing it or reading it, and then that knowledge which is that word now in spirit thought form in your mind (because your thoughts are spirit) is taken by the Holy Spirit and made spirit form as a faith in your heart which is the soul, and then your spirit and the truth of the word become one in agreement, and that is eternal life, the very life of God himself in you.
JOHN 5:24
24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
***The Token is the evidence that the price of the fair has been paid, and so the price of the fair was paid for by Jesus Christ at Calvary, but what gives you the token of what has been paid is the spirit life that comes from the chemistry of the blood by the conduit of the voice, and that voice has sounded in this hour – “in the days of the VOICE”.
When you receive the Holy Spirit by the new birth revelation of Christ for this day, then that is the token applied to the door and lintel of your heart because that faith that you believe will be displayed in the way you live your life in some way.
WHO.IS.GOD_ CLEVELAND.OH TUESDAY_ 50-0815
E-8 Grant, Lord, that something will be said tonight, or done, that will cause the wayward to turn to Christ. For we believe, and feel pressed in the Spirit, that great judgments are upon these lands [Blank.spot.on.tape--Ed.] last days. Plagues, disease germs already bred up to be scattered throughout the nations. (***Remember brother Branham’s wife sister Meda, she had that cist on her left ovary that laid dormant for years but was not activated to do its evil work until she transgressed by being disrespectful to the prophet of God – Disrespect to the Prophet that God has sent for this end time age results in the release of the plagues, and notice that these plagues and germs are already in the land, but many times they lay dormant until the transgression of the people gets to a certain level and then that plague is loosed upon the people) No doctor know even how to take a hold of it. O God, we'll have to believe in Divine healing then. When nations are breeding germs together, to burst them in bombs, and millions die in hours over it.
But oh, we're so thankful that when the destroying Angel went forth, You said, "Touch not none that has the Seal of the Father upon their forehead (Your forehead is your revelation). They are Mine." Oh, we're so glad tonight, to be under the Blood, safely protected; as Israel in the days of old, putting the blood upon the lintel of the door, and upon the door post, sign of the cross. When the death angel was sweeping the land, the dark wings bowed down, but when he seen the blood, It rose again, and "I will pass over you."
THE.FIRST.SEAL_ JEFF.IN MONDAY_ 63-0318
126-3 {61} Now, notice: But it's to be revealed when the Lamb leaves His intercessory place from the Father. (Now, that's Revelation 5). Now, He takes the Book of Seals, the Book of Seals or a Book sealed with Seals, breaks them and shows them (look) at the end of the age now, after the intercessory is over; the church ages has done finished up. He come in the first age, the Ephesian Age, revealed, sent the messenger. Notice what happened as we go along.
Here's the plan of it: The first thing happens, there is a--a--an announcement in the heavens first. What happened? A Seal is opened. What is that? A mystery is unfolded. See? And when a mystery unfolds, then a trumpet sounds. It declares a war. Or a plague falls, and a church age opened. See? What is the war part? The angel of the Church catches the mystery of God, not fully yet revealed, but when he does, he catches this mystery of God, and then he goes forth to the people (after the mystery has been given to him), goes forth to the people. What does he do out there? He begins to proclaim that message, and what does it start? A war, a spiritual war.
126-5 {65} And then God takes His messenger with the elect of that age, and lays them away asleep, and then He drops a plague upon them who rejected it: a temporary judgment. And then, after that is over, then he goes on, and they denominate, and bring in denominations, and start off with that man's work like of--of Wesley and all the rest of them, and then it gets all in a scrapple again; and then another mystery comes forth. Then what happens? Another messenger arrives on earth for a church age. See?
Then when he arrives, he--the--the trumpet sounds. He declares war. See? And then what happens? Finally then he's caught away. And then when he's laid away, then plague falls destroys them. Spiritual death hits the church and she's gone, that group. Then He goes on to another one.

157 They spiritually die now. This is a spiritual veil. See? That was a natural veil. This is spiritual veil. See? They keep walking right on in behind there, you can tell them. "Oh, I know! I know that, but I..." See, go ahead, it's all right, it only speaks... You remember, the last plague in Egypt was death, before the exodus. The last plague on earth is spiritual death, before the exodus. Then they'll be cremated and turned back to the dust, and the righteous will walk out upon their ashes. But the last thing is spiritual death, rejecting the Word.

213 Now, some of them said, "Well, now, if the plague falls, we'll just go in the hospital. If the plague--if the plague happens to fall, you know what we'll do? We'll go get Dr. Jones. He'll know how to take care of it." It didn't work. Yet, they were smart. "Well, if the plague falls, we'll just go down beneath the ground, in a cave, and shut the door down." That won't do it one bit of good. "We'll stay in the house, and put a mask over our face, and--and put some disinfect on it." Didn't do a bit of good.
214 God made a provided way. Yes. And it was (what?) the blood. God provided it, as simple as it seemed, to take the blood of a lamb and sprinkle the door. Yet, God said that was His way, and He honored it. "All out from under the blood died, the firstborn."
II CHRONICLES 7:12-14
12 ¶ And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
God has a provided way to be delivered from the pestilence of this age, and that is by humility and repentance, and by seeking the face of God through prayer. That is guaranteed by God himself, and that is a million times more powerful than hand washing, it is heart washing - that is where the real washing is needed, is in the heart of man. And there is only one thing that washes the heart of man, and that is by receiving the truth of the word, it is the word that washes you – washed by the water of the word.
**This generation, spurns God’s revelation, but we’ll walk where the apostles have trod.
THE.MARRIAGE.OF.THE.LAMB_ PHOENIX.AZ SUNDAY_ 62-0121E
E-85 Esther purged her heart before God, walked up with a meek and humble spirit; the church that's going to be the bride of Christ... Now, remember, Esther refused the worldly adornment. She took the Spirit in her heart to go before the king.
And the woman today, the church that thinks she's going to get in because she's got more numbers, she's the best dressed crowd, she's got the biggest organization, the biggest church in the city, and things like that... You'll miss it a million miles if you're depending on that.
It's a sweet, kind, reverent spirit to the Word of God, washed by the water of the Word. And the Word in you, it's a washing. Amen.
