"The Token"
William Marrion Branham
(1909-1965)
The teachings that he brought were simple and yet profound, and it does not take long for the hearer to realize that this was a man who has heard from God and one who was faithful to his commission as a trusted servant of his Lord.
What Happened that day on Calvary?
Listen to Brother Branham as he unlocks the mystery of the Life that was in the Blood of Jesus Christ and the Power that God can impart to those who believe.
‘The Token’ Message of which Brother Branham said was the most inspired sermon he ever preached apart from ‘The Seven Seals’ - is yet another tape that leaves us in awe when we consider that the Power of God is with us even today working in us and through us.
Brother Branham calls upon the Holy Ghost to vindicate the words that he has spoken in Name of the Lord, and they are more than confirmed by the demonstration of the Spirit and the Gift of Discernment of spirits. This message has driven believers to prayer and sinners to repentance and has to be deemed as a Classic of modern Christian archives. Listen as Brother Branham encourages the Church to strive for Holiness without which no man can see the Lord.
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: Heb 12:14 (KJV)
William Branham introducing ‘The Token’ message..."THE TOKEN" DALLAS.TX V-19 N-12 64-0308
...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 you 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. My subject is "The Token." 1(Click here to listen to the full audio recording)
The Prophet speaks out openly against worldliness and liberal minded Christianity that is prevalent to this Laodicean church age. "Surely this was a man upon whom rested the Spirit of Elijah. God has raised up many fine ministries in our generation, but who can compare with this man’s ministry; a ministry that I wish to share with you today".
The outstanding feature of his ministry was the commission that was given him in 1933 by the Angel of the Lord.
"As John the Baptist forerun the first coming of Christ his ministry was to forerun the Second Coming."2

… He said, "when I baptized right down here on the Ohio River, many of you was standing there, twenty-three years ago, right on the Ohio River that Light, Angel, come right down to where we was at, and said, "As John the Baptist was sent for a forerunner of the first coming of Jesus Christ, your Message will bring the second coming of Jesus Christ." And it's done it." 2(W M Branham 1954)
