Branhamites

The Word “Branhamites” Is a word coined signifying the Cult Followers of “William Branham.” One time I was caught up in this cult and because of love for the souls caught in this cult I am dedicating this Web site to exposing William Branham and his doctrines.

If You are an “Honest Soul” you will continue to read all my messages on this web site. There will be many That will not finish reading this introduction or my testimony in this introduction but those that will continue, at the end of each post will be a link for you to comment or to ask questions.

My Testimony: After reading my testimony at the end click on enter to go to a page with links to my different messages on this cult.

I got caught up in this cult when I started my walk with Christ. I had a Brother in the cult and he arranged for me to get Branham’s Tape Messages in “Printed Form” which I still have. His messages were interesting and he gave a Historicism view of Scriptures which was common in his time. Historicism mainly is applying Scriptures to the Church and its growth whether the Scriptures was in the OT or the NT and regardless it was talking about Israel or not.

Through his messages I learned his beliefs and the Light and Angel with him throughout his life. Through His messages and my Brother I learned he was the seventh angel to the Laodicea Church and the seventh angel in Revelation 10:7. From his messages and my brother I was taught since he was an anointed man of God his messages were the truth and his followers held his messages as infallible word of God equal with the Scriptures. If I wanted to understand the Bible I was to look at what Branham said and disregard any commentaries or my own understanding. Branham’s Messages was the final interpretation of the Scriptures in so much we all (including me) were comparing Scriptures with Branham instead of comparing Branham with Scriptures.

In the mean time I was also studying other Preachers from his time and notice many things Branham taught was already being taught by Ministers before him. Other words much of what Branham taught was plagiarized from other Ministers of his age such as Herbert Armstrong and Charles Taze Russell. I started noticing he was saying things that weren’t true but it was to lift himself up to the people as something he wasn’t. I notice Branham lied about things which didn’t happen and many of his teachings were occult connected.

He taught the Roman Catholic Church was the Beast as others did in his age and many still do today and I also thought so because of what I had been taught before. As God opened my eyes I knew that was wrong. He also taught if you belong to a denomination than you had the Mark of the Beast. He used scare tactics as many false teachers did in his time and do today. Reading his messages I noticed claims he made about his Visions or about himself were never consistence. I notice in his visions he will tell one thing and than later a news article will come out about something and he will add that to his vision. In all Honestly I was surprise at what I was seeing and kept looking for an answer to solve my doubts.

As I stated Branham used Historicism interpretation of Scriptures which is actually spiritualizing Scriptures to make them fit your doctrines regardless if it concerned Israel instead of the Church. In 2005 I got in a discussion with a person in Branham’s cult on Prophecies and this person was taking Prophecies that had happened and applying them to the Church’s future. It was always Branham said this or that. As we were having the discussion it came to me Israel will give up the Gaza Strip before the end of the Year. Of course I was called a False Prophet and he told me Israel will never give up the Gaza Strip and than he started telling me what will happen before the year 2005 ended. Needless to say a few months later Israel gave up the Strip and I was going to get on the phone and told him I told you so but God stopped me. He said that was not like a Christian and so I didn’t. None of his prophecies came to pass but I still didn’t say anything. God had vindicated me to him and finally one day talking to him He said he don’t know how I knew Israel will give up the Gaza Strip but I was right. I said God told me but he would not accept that because by this time my eyes were open to Branham’s doctrines and his ways.

God told me to stop following Branham or any man and to stay with his word Literally and he will lead me to its understanding. God let me know truth will always prevail because its foundation is based on facts you can’t disprove and that is what I base my teachings on.

If you had read this far I pray you will click on enter and give me the chance to show you what I know about Branham using his messages and true facts. There will be a link at the end of each Web Site Message for you to comment or ask questions. On You Tube Comments will be allow.

Branham and George Lacy

Last Post concerned The Halo appearing above Branham’s head in the Sam Houston Coliseum during a debate between Rev Best and Rev Bosworth. Branham made a lot of Claims which I showed was false by presenting the Houston News Paper account of the meeting and pictures which Branham claimed God wouldn’t allow to be develop. First thing I will do is to give more details concerning what George Lacy said after he examined the Photo.

Branham said this: — Mr. Lacy said it was the first time in all human history that a–a supernatural Being was ever photographed. They said it just a… that it’s been said, a lot of times that those lights around the saints, and the unbelievers say that’s some artist painted that picture. But said, “It surely must have been there, for that optical lens–mechanical lens of a camera won’t take psychology. It was… It was there.” (Minneapolis, July 14, 1950) — He said, “No, the Light struck the lens.” And he said to me; he said, “You know the mechanical eye of this camera won’t take psychology.” That’s right. And it struck the lens.” (56-0224, Jehovah-Jireh, Gospel Tabernacle, Sioux Falls, SD) — Mr. Lacy said, …”The Light struck the lens. And it’s a leaping, flaming, emerald fire, a burning.” (52-0817E, Do You Now Believe?, Kellogg Auditorium, Battle Creek, MI) —

You know the mechanical eye of this camera won’t take psychology: — According to Branham George Lacy stated this which he did not and I will show this later. To understand what Branham was hinting at we need to understand the Cameras in those days. Branham said the Halo was the first picture of a supernatural being but there were other pictures of Ghosts existing showing Branham lied. He kept stressing the fact the Camera had a mechanical lens and cannot take a Psychology picture. In those days as now Cameras needed a special Lens to capture Ghosts. A regular camera cannot take pictures of Ghosts or anything Supernatural. This is why Branham kept Stressing the Camera only had a regular lens. He was saying though the Camera couldn’t take a supernatural picture this one did convincing the People God was involved with this picture as he also claimed God wouldn’t allow any other film to be develop which as I showed in the last post that is a lie.

Branham Exalt George Lacy as someone important with the FBI but as I showed in the last post Lacy was not connected to the FBI at anytime. Lacy never said it was a Supernatural Being. Here is exactly what George Lacy said.

Based upon the describe examination and study I am of the definite opinion that the negative submitted for examination was not retouch nor a composite or a Double Exposed Negative.”

Further I am of the definite opinion that the light Streak appearing above the head in a halo position was caused by Light striking the negative.” He does not say it is a leaping flaming fire as Branham claimed he said. See George Lacy complete Statement at this Link. — http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/GeorgeLacy.html

What light was Lacy referring to. In the Sam Houston Coliseum as you face the stage there were 3 lights on the left and if you was facing the Audience They will be on your right. From the angle of the Picture it seemed the Camera was in front of the stage on Branham’s left pointing up which it will had caught one of the lights and this is the light George Lacy referred to. Here is a link to the Stage with Ed Sullivan and Branham’s Light. Compare the lights on the stage with the one above Branham’s Head. —- http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/Ed_Sullivan_Fllod_Lights.html

Other lights: — Branham’s Followers pulls some tricks trying to exalt Branham or worst he pulls these tricks trying to exalt himself. Here are two links proving what I am saying and one of these links supposedly show another picture of a light on Branham’s right shoulder. It is one thing for a False Prophet to lie and make photos to exalt themselves but when his followers do the same thing it shows they don’t care for the truth and might be the ones that will loose money if they can’t keep people interested in Branham.

The Two Links — http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/Obama_2_Pics.html

Branham’s Halo

There are other pictures of a supposed supernatural light which I will address in another post but the one in the link  is a picture that is well known by his followers and one they use trying to Prove Branham’s calling is of God. In some of his sermons he mentions this picture and I will present what Branham said and see if the real Facts supports his claims or if they prove he is making it up or lying trying to make himself look good.

The picture was taken by Douglas Studios of Houston, Texas, on January 24, 1950 during a Debate between Rev Best; a Baptist Minister believing Divine Healing ended after the Apostles and don’t exist today and Rev F. F. Bosworth which was a supporter of Branham. What are Branham’s statements concerning this Debate?

William Branham: — “I (branham)seen him the night of the debate when this Angel of the Lord came down and had His picture taken that you see here now, they got of the meeting. It was Brother Bosworth who stood there that night, and this young fellow just out of the seminary, pointing his finger in that old saints face, and having him take his picture like this. And he shaking his fist in that old saintly man’s face, and saying, “Now, take my picture. And now take my picture,” like that. ‘Cause he wanted six pictures taken; he could publish it in his paper in such positions as that. And Almighty God would not permit one of them to be developed. Every one of them was perfect negative. That’s right.” (Chicago, July 20, 1954)

These are Branham’s words but there are not any evidence supporting Branham’s claiming “Rev. Best said take my picture not one time least of all 6 times or Rev. Best want those pictures for his Paper.” Branham also said God didn’t allow any pictures to be develop of Rev. Best Pointing his finger at Rev, F. F. Bosworth. All the other negatives were blank except the one with the Halo above his Head. We do have evidence showing Branham lied. There are other pictures printed in the Houston News Paper and one of them shows Rev Best Pointing his finger as Rev Bosworth. The following link will take you to the picture which also has a picture of a fight that broke out in the Audience. http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/FingerPointingandFight.html Also here is a link to the Houston News Paper talking about the fight. http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/NewsPaperAccountOfTheFight.html

Branham’s 30000 People: — But I said, “God never testifies of a lie. He testifies of truth. And if I testify of truth, God will testify of me.” I no more than said that, and something went “Whooo” and here He come, right coming down. And here It was right above me like this, the Angel of the Lord standing there, thirty thousand people looking at it. They shot the picture of It, and the association took the picture, they said, “It can’t be psychology.” (53-0907A, Lord, Show Us The Father And It Sufficeth Us, Chicago Gospel Tabernacle, Chicago, IL)

Another lie From Branham. The coliseum only held 20000 and there isn’t anyway to put in 10000 more people even standing. Not only that but the Houston Paper said there were 8000 which you can see at this link. http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/8000andnot30000as_Branham_said.html He claimed people in the audience took pictures of it but there is a problem with that claim as well. If people took pictures of it in the audience than why is this the only picture we have?

Branham: — how many ever seen the picture that the government taken of the Angel of the Lord right in the house of…? George J. Lacy’s examination, the head of the FBI, said it was an Angel of the Lord. The Light struck the lens of the camera. Said “The camera won’t take psychology.” (59-0708E, Be Certain Of God, Mayfield Elementary School, Cleveland, TN) — “George J. Lacy, head of the FBI, fingerprint and documents, took the picture of an Angel of God, the Pillar of Fire that led the children of Israel. And all knows that that Pillar of Fire was Jesus Christ.” (58-0512, Life, Capitol Theater, Everett, MA)

Branham has the Government taken the Picture of the Angel of the Lord but where are the facts? Later he has George Lacy taking the picture which I assume is what he meant by the Government. The truth is the Picture was taken by a studio in Houston that was in no way connected with the Government or George Lacy.

Branham: — “And that’s all Catholic people and all setting there saw It, looked at It. Many of them begin to scream and fainting. Come right down, a Pillar of Fire, moved right down to where I was at. He shot the picture.” (54-1129 Testimony, p.m, West Palm Beach, Florida) — “And then when this Angel came down, that photographer had that great machine set, and he shot the picture. And when He come down, people screaming, I said, “I will have to speak no more. He speaks in my place.” I went out. The policeman helped me to the car.” (60-0210M The Revelation that was Given to me)

Why isn’t there any other account of people seeing the supposed Pillar of Fire coming down and started screaming and fainting? Not only was the Houston Paper there but there were other News Papers. Why is it nothing was said about the people screaming and fainting in the local News Paper? All we have are Branham’s words which so far shows he has been lying.

Branham and George Lacy: — And George J. Lacy, the best there is in United States, on research was brought from California to Houston, Texas, for to take the negative under consideration. He kept it for days. He looked through the lights; he looked at the camera. He took everything, and ‘fore he could sign, because he’s a FBI agent today, the best they got. —

George Lacy was never in the FBI nor head of anything in the FBI. He lived and had his own business in Houston which was to examine things and could be hire by anyone which in this case he was hired by Gordon Lindsay to examine the Picture and he did not come from California because he lived in Houston. (more on George Lacy in another post.)

The Hall of Religious Art in Washington, D. C.: — And one of them is in Washington, DC, in the religious Hall of Art, with a note under it, “The only supernatural being was ever photographed in the history of the world.” And now, then, if you’re ever through there, drop in, see it (63-0606 Show us the Father Tucson, Az)

The above message and other messages Branham stated the picture was hanging in the Hall of Religious Art in Washington D. C. This is a Lie because there isn’t and never was a Hall Of Religious Art. — Evidently Branham knew he was wrong but instead of admitting it he has the Pictures moved to the Halls of Germany —

As you all have seen, the Light (which the United States has copyrighted in the Washington, DC, hanging in the Religious Hall of—of religious history, in Washington, DC) is the only supernatural Being that was ever photographed in all the world. Hangs in the halls of Germany where they’ve taken it (61-0519, Sirs, We Would See Jesus, para. 94)

Question is which Halls of Germany which he didn’t mention. This is another lie trying to cover up the last lie. Branham had a lying spirit and his stories always exalted himself having a special calling from God.

Here are another Link with 2 pages of the Houston News Paper. — http://www.truthvsfalse.com/Cults/Branhamism/TheFirsttwopagesoftheHustonNewsPaper.html

Next post I will address more of what George Lacy said and what was the Light above his head and also will look at a couple of other Pictures with a supposed light around Branham.

Los Angeles, Caperaum, &Sodom

Los Angeles, Capernaum, & Sodom

In another message I posted the prophecy the world systems will come to an end and the Lord will return in 1977 which we know failed because we are still here and the Lord has not returned yet. In this message I will look at another prophecy of his.

Los Angeles: — It will take a lot of space to give all his prophecies concerning the Sinking of Los Angeles so I will only give a few for this message.

Look at the earthquakes over here in California. I predict, before the coming of the Lord Jesus that God will sink that place. I believe that Hollywood and Los Angeles and them filthy places over there, that God Almighty will sink them. They’ll go beneath the bottom of the sea.” “Who Do You Say This Is?”, 12/27/64.

I don’t know of any Earthquakes in 1964 in California but there was a tsunami hitting Crescent City, California, a Small Fishing and Lumber city just south of the Oregon line. If Branham was referring to this than it was an after the fact Prophecy as many of his prophecies are. Keep in mind in Branham’s mind the Lord will return in 1977 and so Los Angeles will sink before or in the year 1977.

In a few days a great earthquake’s going to strike on the west. And it won’t stop. California, Los Angeles will sink. It’s going down. It’ll slide right into the ocean.” And two days after that, the Alaskan earthquake shook Alaska.” “Works Is Faith Expressed”, 11/26/65.

Notice Branham said in a few days. I am not sure what the Branhamites consider a few days but I do know those few days has already passed and Los Angeles hasn’t sunk and so that is another failed Prophecy.

Pearry Green Wrote the Acts of the Prophet. He was a close follower of Branham and for his book he used what he knew and what others knew that were closer to Branham. On Page 119 He wrote the following. — ““Billy, where are you standing?” — “Downtown Los Angeles,” Billy Paul replied. — “Where are you standing?” — “In front of the May Company, downtown Los Angeles,” replied Billy. —“Billy,” he said, “I may not be here, but you won’t be an old man until sharks will swim right where we are standing.”

Billy Paul Branham is 84 years old and that is definitely an “Old Man” and Los Angeles still haven’t sunk as he claimed. As Usual with many Cult Followers they try making up excuses. One excuse is That was in a book and Branham didn’t say that. Can that hold up?

James Manuel from Cape Town, South Africa wrote a letter to Billy Paul Branham Saying, “I heard you tell the story of how you and your dad were standing in front of May’s department store in downtown Los Angeles. Your dad wanted to know from you where you were standing, and you replied, “Downtown LA”, to which he replied, “be more specific”. You said, “in front of May’s Department Store”, to which he replied, “Billy, I may be gone, but before you are an old man, sharks will swim where you stand.” — Brother Billy, you are over 80 and definitely not a young man any longer. Do you still feel it will happen as you told us all those years? Or…..is it a story you invented to keep us loyal and expecting? It is important for us to know because if it is the truth you told….it would mean Brother Branham gave a false prophecy. If it was not the truth, you have a responsibility to set the record straight.

Notice James Manuel said he heard Billy Branham tell the story of what his Father told him and so regardless Pearry Green writting it in his book Billy Branham was telling the story. Now Billy is an old man and Manuel want to know if his father told him that or was he making it up?

Billy Branham sent him an answer back and I was surprised at the answer he gave. From: Billy@Branham.org

I stand on exactly on what Brother Branham said, and it was not a story I made up and shame on you for thinking such a thing so I doubt you would believe me or not but I will witness to you just the same it is exactly what he said and I’m not an old man as yet, and won’t be until that happens.”

Bro. Billy

What surprised me is Billy Branham claiming he isn’t an Old Man until that prophecy is fulfill. Billy was Born in 1935 and this correspondence took place in 2017 making him 82 years old. Regardless what Billy Claimed he is an Old Man by normal standards. In William Branham’s age 60 was considered to be an Old Man.

Capernaum & Sodom and Gomorrah: — So far I only mentioned the “Sinking of Los Angeles” but in other prophecies concerning this subject he mentioned Capernaum and Sodom and Gomorrah being in the Sea. Let us look at one of these Prophecies.

And then, the last meeting I had in California, while speaking, and didn’t know nothing happened till I got on the street, It told California, said — said, “Capernaum, Capernaum, the city that’s called by the name of the angels,” (that’s Los Angeles) “you’ve exalted yourself into heaven, but you’ll be brought down into hell. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom that’s been done in you, it would have been standing till this day.” ——- And I’ve never had Him to tell me one thing but what happened. And you can bear record of that. That’s right. When? I don’t know. I went out, and they told me what I said. And I listened, went back and searched the Scripture. You know, Jesus said, almost in them same words, about Capernaum; and Sodom and Gomorrah was — was in the bottom of the Dead Sea, I suppose was then. And later, about a hundred years later, Capernaum slid into the sea, and it’s in the sea. The same God that put Sodom in the sea for its sins, the same God that put Capernaum in the sea for its sins, the same God will put Los Angeles in the sea for its sin, that city of — of corruption.

65-1126 WORKS.IS.FAITH.EXPRESSED

Branham was claiming the Holy Spirit is the one speaking this prophecy through him and he quoted Verses showing it is from the Holy Spirit. Did God speak through him or was it another spirit? Let us examine the above prophecy.

Sodom and Gomorrah: In other messages he has Sodom and Gomorrah as one city which they are not. Both of them were two of five cities around the Dead Sea area and neither of them set on the edge of the Dead Sea. Also neither of them sunk into the Dead Sea. Other messages he mentioned it was an earthquake that destroyed them by causing them to sink into the Dead Sea. The Bible said it was Fire and Brimstone Raining down from Heaven destroying them.

Capernaum: The city never sunk into the sea. It is not underwater but it is in ruins which I will provide the picture next.

Therefore the Holy Spirit did not speak through William Branham because God will not give any prophecy with the wrong information in it. If there was a spirit speaking through Branham it wasn’t God’s.

Also Branham could be making this story up and it is not the only time he made things up and showed he didn’t know his Bible or was contrary to the Bible. Wake Up People! Branham was false and a lair and his prophecies were after the fact and whatever was supposed before the fact didn’t come to pass as he predicted. Many of his supposed Healings did not happened as he claimed. His stories were not according to facts concerning the stories.

I am glad God led me out from under Branham’s influence and I could see Branham for what he was. Still there will be many that will cling to him regardless the evidence against him; mainly because they refuse to check out the evidence. Instead they will listen to their leaders and their Flimsy explanations such as the one Billy Branham gave about him not being an old man. May God have Mercy and Open their Blinded Eyes.

Branham’s 7 Visions

7 Visions

Branham supposedly had 7 Visions in 1933 according to his Followers. At the time he had these visions, he wrote them down on a piece of paper which he kept tucked into one of his Bibles (see, “Teaching on Moses,” preached in 1956, message #56-0513). First let us look at their claim and compare it to the facts. Afterwards I will present each Vision.

As I stated his Followers said the 7 Visions were given to him in 1933 but they say that because that is what Branham told them since none of them were around at the time of his 7 Visions. Let us see exactly what Branham said about his 7 Visions.

In his message of “Condemnation by Representation” (message #60-1113): (Preached on Sunday, 13th November 1960 at the Branham Tabernacle in Jeffersonville, Indiana):” he reads the list he supposedly wrote down and kept in his Bible. — Here is part of what he said in that sermon.

1932: (Listen to this.) As I was on my way… Or as I was getting ready to go on my way to church this morning, it came to pass that I fell into a vision. Our services is being held on Meigs Avenue at the old orphans’ home, where Charlie Kern lives in part of the building.” (He lives just across the street now, you know.) And it came to pass that while I was in this vision I seen some dreadful things take place. I speak this in the Name of the Lord.

This is the only time he read from this supposed list but notice when he read from it he said 1932 instead of 1933 but the other times he told about the 7 Visions they happened in 1933 and we can understand how his Followers thought it was 1933 though the time he read the list it was in 1932.

I read one person in 2003 believing the list existed will be an important artifact to his Followers wrote to Voice Of God Recordings asking for a copy. They wrote him saying they don’t have the list because it was put in the corner stone of the Church built in 1933. That presented a problem for this person because since 1956 he said he had the list in his Bible and read from the list in 1960. Something was not right! In late 1970’s (1978 or 79) a Car ran into the Church and damage the corner stone and the elders of the church saw a chance to see all that was buried there. They found nothing!

If the list was found in the cornerstone of Branham Tabernacle, we could say he had told people about those visions as early as 1933 but since the list wasn’t found there isn’t any proof anyone knew of the list until he mentioned the list of 7 Visions in the sermon “Israel at the Red Sea #1”, message #53-0326, on March 26, 1953 which is around 20 years later and was the first time he mentioned the 7 Visions. There isn’t any proof he made any of those predictions before any of them came to pass.

Here is the “7 Visions List.” — FDR To Lead the World to War — Mussolini — Watch Russia — Women Will Elect the Wrong Person —The Maginot (or Siegfried) Line — Egg-shaped, Driverless Cars — Destruction of the United States. I will examine each of those predictions but let us keep in mind he never mentioned any of the 7 Visions until 1953 and we will learn Branham was talking after the fact and he didn’t do his homework of World War 2.

FDR Will Lead the World to War: — The president which now is, President Franklin D. Roosevelt… (Now remember, this is twenty-eight years ago.) will cause the whole world to go to war — Germany never picked on us; we picked on them, throwed the whole world into a war, to cause a world war. (Condemnation by Representation, Jeffersonville, IN, tape #60-1113) — We now have a president (Dwi… Mr. Roosevelt), and this Mr. Roosevelt will cause the world to go into a world war through his–in his time of his administration, his–his–as president. (Conference, Shreveport, LA tape #60-1125).

Roosevelt was President from 1933 to 1945 when he died. But he never caused the whole world to go to War as Branham claimed. The true facts of WW 2 Follows.

After WWW1 Germany signed a treaty called the “Versailles Treaty” which was not fair to Germany. When Hitler started rising to power he broke the treaty by forming an alliance with Austria which was against the treaty but the European Countries and the USA were lenient and overlook the fact he was breaking the Treaty. Hitler took that as a sign of weakness and attacked Czechoslovakia and conquered it. He then set his sights on Poland and when he attack Poland it caused Britain and France to take action and declare war on Germany. — Notice Hitler started attacking countries first and it was Britain and France declaring war on Germany. The USA still wasn’t involved.

Hitler’s Goal was to conquer all of Europe and The German army quickly defeated the Polish forces and proceeded to attack and conquer most of Western Europe, including Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway and France. There were many nations that had declared war on other nations before the USA did and they declared War on Japan December 8 1941 after Japan attacked us at Pearl Harbor. December 11 1941 Germany declare war on USA and so we declared War on Germany the same day. None of this was FDR’s fault and no we didn’t pick on Germany. History shows it was the other way.

This is one of Branham’s Visions that didn’t come to past as he said.

Mussolini: — and the new dictator of Italy, Mussolini, shall make his first invasion towards Ethiopia, and he will take Ethiopia; but that’ll be his last. He shall come to his end.

(“Condemnation by Representation”)

True Mussolini attacked Ethiopia and conquered it but that wasn’t his end. He seized Albania and then afterwards He attack Greece and the British in Egypt 1940 with the help of Hitler. Therefore he continue for awhile and didn’t meet his end until 1945. — Another Vision Failed.

Watch Russia: — We will be in war with Germany. Watch Russia. (Now, that’s…) Communism, Nazism, and Fascism… Watch Russia. But that is not the main one to watch. (Condemnation by Representation)

This Vision changed dramatically from the original during the course of Branham’s life. There are 3 variations of this Vision. Let us look at them.

And I said, “There’ll be three great isms, Communism, Fascism, and Nazism.” And I said, “They’ll wind up in one ism, and that one ism will dominate the world and will burn the Vatican City.” — (Israel at the Red Sea #1, tape #53-032) — Now, if you’ll give me one more night, if God does, I’ll prove to you that communism is working straight in the hands of Almighty God to destroy the Roman… And remember, I say this as God’s prophet: The Russian empire will drop an atomic bomb of some sort on the Vatican City and destroy it in one hour. THUS SAITH THE LORD. (The Mark of the Beast, tape #54-0513) — Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I said, “Now, there’s going to be three great isms. Which is now in existence. One of them is in Rome, which is–is Fascism, and one of them is in Germany which is Nazi–Nazism. And the other one is in Russia, which is communism.” I said, “Those three great isms is the unclean spirits that went out of the mouth of the false prophet, and the dragons, and so forth that will unite themselves together, speaking things that they should not, and they’ll all beat at one another, until they’ll finally wind up in one ism. And I predict that that will be communism. And communism will burn the Vatican city. (Faith Once Delivered to the Saints, tape #55-0501)

Notice he said it was “Thus Saith the Lord” and the Vatican will be destroy by Russia with an atomic Bomb. Russia is no longer a Power and the Vatican is still standing and had not been burned or an atomic bomb dropped on it. Also Russia never achieved world domination as Branham predicted.

Also Branham has the 3 Isms as the 3 unclean spirits coming out of the Mouth of the False Prophet and the Dragon. Revelation 16:13 talks about the 3 unclean spirits but they are like frogs and they not only come from the Dragon and the False Prophet but also comes from the mouth of the Beast which is the Muslim’s Mahdi and the false prophet is Islam’s Jesus. Notice I didn’t say our Jesus.

Women Will Elect the Wrong Person:There are 3 versions to this vision.

It shall–also has been an evil thing done in this country; they have permitted women to vote. This is a woman’s nation, and she will pollute this nation as Eve did Eden… In her voting she will elect the wrong person…Then when these women help elect the wrong person, then I seen a great woman rise up in the United States, well-dressed and beautiful, but cruel in heart. She will either guide or lead this nation to ruination. (I’ve got in parenthesis “perhaps Catholic church.”) (Condemnation by Representation) — And I said, “It will come to pass before the end time comes that there will be a great woman stand up in the United States, because the United States is marked woman. Her number is thirteen, and she’ll rise up, either be president, or (I put it in parentheses) perhaps the woman being beautiful and attractive will be the Catholic church but cruel at heart, and she’ll lead the nation to pollution. (Conference,” November 11, 1960, sermon #60-1125) —

These are the first 2 and in both of them the supposed beautiful woman he said could be the Catholic Church. There is one more Version.

Now, that brings us then to the election of President Kennedy, and this car coming on the—on the scene, bringing five things out of the seven that has happened exactly. Now, I predicted and said, “I saw a great woman stand up, beautiful looking, dressed in real highly royals like purple,” and I got little parenthesis down here, “(She was a great ruler in the United States, perhaps the Catholic church.)” A woman, some woman… I don’t know her to be the Catholic church. I don’t know. I can’t say. Only thing I seen, I seen the woman; that was all. But this is a woman’s nation. This nation is number thirteen in prophecy. She’s got thirteen stripes, thirteen stars; she started thirteen colonies. Thirteen, thirteen, everything’s thirteen, appears in the 13th chapter of Revelations even. She’s thirteen, and she’s a woman’s nation. — (“The Seventieth Week Of Daniel,’ August 6, 1961)

No place in Prophecies is the USA mentioned and least of all as a thirteenth Nation in Prophecy. She is not mentioned in Revelation 13 either.

The Maginot (or Siegfried) Line: — Notice there are 2 names and they are actually 2 different things. Branham as usual didn’t do his home work.

The Americans will take a great beating at a place that Germany will build, which will be a great wall built of concrete (The Maginot Line, eleven years before it was ever built.) But finally they will be victors. (Condemnation by Representation)

Here Branham called it the Maginot Line and stated this vision was given to him 11 years before it was built.

Truth: — The Maginot Line was a wall of defense built by France, not Germany, in order to provide the French with a barrier from the Germans. Construction of the Maginot Line started in 1929 and ended in 1940. So the Maginot Line started before 1933 and not afterwards as Branham said and he said Germany Will which is a future tense. Also the USA didn’t take a beating there. It was at the Siegfried Line which Germany built they took a beating loosing 140,000 Soldiers. When listening or reading his other sermons he changed the Maginot Line to the Siegfried Line. Evidently he learned a little more of WW2 History. Still according to him at first when he read his supposed list he kept in his Bible it was the Maginot Line. I don’t believe God will give him a Vision with the wrong facts. I believe Branham made these Visions up as he went along.

Egg-shaped, Driverless Cars: — There are 2 parts to this vision and each part has its own Problems and you will see Branham’s Driverless cars were added to the Vision later.

Egg-Shaped Cars: — It depends on what you call an egg-shaped Car. Since I been driving I saw Many Cars and none of them are technically Egg-Shape. They are more like locomotives and in some cases they had big tail fins. The Egg-Shaped Cars were introduced in 1942 but they didn’t catch on because of the aerodynamics and they weren’t feasible. Many of our cars today are like cubes.

Notice it was introduce in 1942 and if he had those 7 visions it look like he will be saying in 1942 the Vision was fulfilled. But the first time he mentioned egg-shapes cars was in March 1953 and than in May 1955 and then in January and March 1957. Nothing in those sermons about Driverless Cars. My question is why weren’t they mentioned in any of those Sermons if this is part of the Vision.

Driverless Cars: — “The cars in that day will be shaped like an egg, running back like in this form there. And it’ll be controlled by some kind of a power that they won’t even have to use the steering wheel at times, just set her and go on like that (See?), before the annihilation.” (“Life,” 2nd June 1957, sermon #57-0602)

This sermon was the first mentioned of a Driverless Car. As I stated earlier no place did he mention his 7 Visions until after the Facts and if you can get hold of Some Magazines and News Papers You will see they were already in the news as some of them were ads and not for the driverless cars. Also Branham said it will be before the Annihilation or 1977. Although the thought did exist it is in our age Driverless Cars started being produce and this is 2019 and we didn’t have them before 1977. The Link will show a picture of an Ad for Power companies in 1956 which is the year before he first mentioned the Driver Less Cars.

Destruction of the United States: — Then I seen the United States as one smoldering, burnt-over place. It will be near the end. (Then I’ve got in parenthesis: “I predict that this will take place.” Now, remember, the Lord … That’s what the Lord showed, but “I predict this will take place before 1977.”) Upon this prediction, I base, because of the onrushing slaught that’s coming now, how fast that it was moving, how long it’ll take till this nation meets its place. (“Condemnation by Representation)

Notice Branham said the Lord showed it to him. It is now 2019 which is 42 years later and still the United States hasn’t been destroyed nor has the termination of the world Systems come to pass nor the Lord’s Return

He didn’t have any 7 visions and when he finally started speaking about them many of those Visions changed as time went on and mostly they were different than what the original he gave. Branham Lied about the Visions and the other things he claimed.

Wake Up People. Branham is False. There will be some still stay with Branham regardless the evidence give showing he is false.

Branham’s Prophecies 1

Branham’s Prophecies

One thing most Message believers claim is that William Branham made thousands of prophecies which have never failed to come to pass. But they say that because William Branham told them so. By this I mean in his sermons he mentioned supposed prophecies and his followers believed him. Problem is, if you were to ask them for one example where William Branham ever prophesied of an event before it came to pass, they cannot.

William Branham usually based his prophecies on events that already happened as you will see in the following messages about his prophecies. Than there are ones he predicted before their fulfillment but never came to pass according to the details of his predictions. There are quite a few of Branham’s prophecies and I won’t address all but I will a few.

Lord Returns in 1977: — Based on these seven visions, along with the rapid changes which have swept the world in the last fifty years, I Predict (I do not prophesy) that these visions will have all come to pass by 1977. And though many may feel that this is an irresponsible statement in view of the fact that Jesus said that ‘no man knowth the day nor the hour.’ I still maintain this prediction after thirty years because, Jesus did NOT say no man could know the year, month or week in which His coming was to be completed. So I repeat, I sincerely believe and maintain as a private student of the Word, along with Divine inspiration that 1977 ought to terminate the world systems and usher in the millennium. (An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, page 322)

The 7 Visions will be discuss in another message or two if need be. Right now let us examine Branham’s above statement.

He said he predicted but not prophesying that all the 7 visions will come to past by 1977 and the Lord will return in that year. He goes on to say though no man knows the hour or the day Christ didn’t say we wouldn’t know the year.

I had studied Herbert Armstrong and talked to his Ex-Members which has his earliest books from their their parents or grandparents at their death. They read those books and because of what they read they stopped following Herbert Armstrong. In his books he gave prophecies which didn’t come to past and when they didn’t he will pull any books not sold and redo the book without the prophecy. The 1977 prophecy was one of them and it seemed Branham plagiarized Herbert Armstrong prophecy word for word. This is not the only time he plagiarized other preachers teachings. In fact all Branham’s teachings was being taught by other preachers in his time period.

What is the difference between prediction and Prophesying? Though Branham tried separating the two the dictionaries don’t give any differences. They both means to foretell a future event before it happens. In Branham’s mind if he predicted something than it is him only and not the Holy Spirit. But look at the rest of the above statement. — “I sincerely believe and maintain as a private student of the Word, along with Divine inspiration that 1977 ought to terminate the world systems and usher in the millennium. — “Divine Inspiration” means it is from God. The Bible were inspired by God and the phrase means his inspiration comes from God and that means it is a prophecy from God.

His followers try discrediting this prophecy by saying it is in “An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages” by Lee Vayle and not by William Branham; yet his daughter Rebekah Branham-Smith wrote an article title “Whose Book Is It?” in her Only Believe Magazine June 1991 edition and she said Lee Vayle was only the Ghost writer and gives evidence her Father William Branham was the author behind the book. She stated at the end of the article the Following. “There is no doubt in my mind that An Exposition Of The Seven Church Ages is William Branham’s book. And knowing, first-hand, how hard he struggled to get it published, I cannot remain neutral on the subject of its authorship.”

But that is not all. Branham trying to give his prediction some Biblical authority in a message “The Seventieth Week of Daniel, preached August 6, 1961 (tape #61-0806). He tried connecting the year 1977 with the Jubilee Year. Here is what he said.

Now, counting the time, we find that we have exactly seventeen years left, and we will have the same span of time given to us as God dealing with us in the power of the Holy Spirit since A.D. 33 until 1977, the same span of time of 1954 years. God deals with us the same as He did with the Jews. See? How about that? “Now, mark down in your book a little Scripture here I want to give you. Leviticus 25, begin with the 8th verse. God calls a jubilee every forty-ninth year; the fiftieth year was the jubilee. We know that. We understand that. From the first jubilee of Leviticus 25:8, in 1977 will be the seventieth jubilee, making exactly 3,430 years. Jubilee means the going up, the release”

There isn’t any doubt Branham believed 1977 was the returning of the Lord. As I write this it is 2019 which is 42 years later than Branham’s prediction. As I said earlier he got this from Herbert Armstrong and it was not a revelation from God as he tried making it so.

Branham’s Angel

Listening to Branham’s Tape Messages and reading the printed material of his tape Messages everyone (including me) heard his testimonies of his encounter with the Supernatural and his Angel. I once was one of his followers and as the others I were gullible because I and they didn’t catch exactly what he said because we were awe struck and considered Branham to be from God. When God led me from that cult I started seeing exactly what he said about his Supernatural and Angelic Encounter and saw discrepancies in his testimonies and some illogical reasoning in some of his testimonies. In many cases though he claimed many witnesses to some of these encounters I yet had not seen anyone testifying to his encounter. What I will do now is give some of his testimonies with the References to the messages they are in.

In his own words he said: “The first thing I can remember in life is a vision. I was eighteen months old…”(7 Consecutive Visions (Concerning End time Events From 1933 to The End).

I never heard of anyone remembering what happened at that age. In fact I hadn’t heard of anyone remembering what happened when they were three as Branham said he did.

When he was about seven years old, the wind was blowing through the trees and a voice come out from the trees saying, “Never drink, smoke or defile your body in any way, for I have a great work for you to do when you are older” (My life Story, p.24)

Notice this being said he had a great work for Branham and not God had a great work for you. What is amazing is this Being never once said anything about God or Jesus Christ or even mentioned the Gospel in all his encounters. It was always this being had a great work.

Why did this being tell him not to smoke, drink, or defile his body? This being knew he was going to send him to Christians and if he did any of those things he will been rejected by the Holiness Churches.

Some years later he become so hungry for God, that he went out to an old wood shed and there tried to pray. Suddenly there appeared a “light in the form of a cross” and a “voice spoke to him in a language he did not understand. “

This is a statement Ellen White made when one of her prophecies failed. The Angel gave her the prophecy in a language she didn’t understand. If God speaks to anyone it will be in the language the person speaks and he will understand what the voice said. God is not the Author of Confusion. He gives these testimonies of supernatural signs and Angelic encounters trying to exalt himself.

Seeing a light in the shape of a Cross is not a sign it is from God unless you want to believe Statues of Mary Crying or Blood coming from her. Also the thought crossed my mind that he is making this up to make himself into something he isn’t.

1. “He knew that something had happened to him and as he prayed the second time, it appeared again – the LIGHT in the form of a Cross. In his own words he said, “Then it seemed to me that there had been a thousand pounds lifted from my soul.” Something swept over him and he experienced an exquisite feeling he had never know before. He said it felt like rain was pelting down on his body. He knew then that God had forgiven him of his sin and baptized him with the Holy Ghost.

2. I was converted in the Baptist church, and just come out from the Baptist church. I belong to no church now, that I might pull together the family of God. Not representing any one church, but only the one Church and that’s the only true Church, the Body of Jesus Christ. When it first came to me, many different of the organizations… The Baptist people never kicked me out; only way you get kicked out of a Baptist conference is immoral living, not your doctrine; it’s immoral living. But they didn’t believe in Divine healing and gifts. They said, “Won’t work.” But now they see that it does.

51-0720 THE.ANGEL.OF.GOD

3. I was converted in an old coal shed. And when I come in, I didn’t know nothing about shouting or praising the Lord. So, I felt so good I — I didn’t even touch a board coming up from the shed to the house. 59-0815 AS.THE.EAGLE.STIRRETH.UP.HER.NEST

4. I was converted in a converted barroom. And I feel very much at home now. I look back there and see that counter, and so forth. It was a little, colored church, where I received the baptism of the Holy Ghost, was led there by the Lord. Now, to see these kind of places, they — they don’t want to. They got to have the big flowery name behind it. It’s got to have so much behind it, or people won’t. It’s got to be so pretty, outwardly, until if it — it isn’t that way, then the people don’t want nothing to do with

5. Many of you people right here in this building tonight from right around the home places here, that would’ve been dead in their grave if it hadn’t been for Jesus Christ. And I am one of them. That’s right. I’d have went years ago right here in the Jewish hospital when a doctor of this city, one of the famous doctors of this city, give me three minutes to live. And I’m here by the grace of God. Then when He let me live, I gave my heart to Him and been screaming from the housetop ever since. And I believe Him with all my heart. May He come tonight and bless your humble soul.

54-0328 SIRS.WE.WOULD.SEE.JESUS

We have 5 conversions in 5 different places and in 1, 4, and 5 we have Branham receiving the Holy Spirit but each time he received the Holy Ghost Baptism he didn’t know what it was until he received. Why are all these testimonies different? He was making it up trying to impress the people he was speaking to at the time. He was deceiving the people!

Branham’s Pyramids

I said in another message Branham was brought up in an occult environment and you will see it influenced his beliefs and his ministry in many ways. Branham taught that the Word of God was given in three forms: the zodiac, the Egyptian pyramids, and the written scripture. (William M. Branham, ‘Adoption’ 1960, p31, 104),

Anyone familiar with the Occult knows the Pyramids and Zodiac are connected to Occult. Branham also believe the Gnostic Book Of Enoch was the word of God and he quoted from it and ignore what the Bible stated. He had a bad habit when anyone confronted him with the Bible he will say “He Knows The Author More Than the Bible.” He was actually saying regardless what the Bible said God was revealing to him the truth. God will not give anyone a revelation that is contrary to the Bible.

Pyramids: — He believed the Pyramids were the second word of God and the Zodiac was the first word of God and our Bible was the third form of God’s word and throughout his messages he mentioned Pyramids. In the Message on Branham’s Cloud we notice there were at first 5 angels appearing as an inverted Pyramid and than it was 7 angels. He changed his story. Branham believed the Masonic teachings regarding the pyramids were hidden truths for all of the elect to receive. He claimed Enoch built the Pyramids in Egypt and Enoch put the word of God in them.

The second Bible was written, was written by Enoch, and put in the pyramid.

53-0403 THE CRUELTY OF SIN AND THE PENALTY THAT IT COST TO RID SIN FROM OUR LIVES — Then we find it, till Enoch wrote one and put it in the pyramid. The third is put on paper.

54-0809A I.WILL.RESTORE.UNTO.YOU.SAITH.THE.LORD — So in there they find the Bible, just the same as this Bible here, written in there, just by measurements and so forth, measures out the Gospel and the Scripture justlike we have It here. Enoch put it in there years and years before the antediluvianflood. 54-1006 LAW.OR.GRACE

What is amazing is Branham claiming they founded the Bible in the Pyramids. My Question is who are they and when was it found? I had studied the Pyramids and saw nothing in history or archaeology giving this information. But that isn’t all!

He was Enoch, who claimed that he walked with God for five hundred years, and had a testimony he pleased God. 56-0304 MAKING.A.WAY —-

Enoch didn’t claim he walked with God and not for 500 years. Branham said Enoch Built the Pyramids before the Flood which is not supported by Archaeology because the Flood happened before a Pyramid was built. Branham took Enoch being 500 Years old from the Book of Noah which was part of the Book of Enoch. In fact Branham had Enoch and Noah living at the same time.

And Enoch was took up, and was found not, because God took him: the type of the going forth of the church. And Noah watched him. When he seen Enoch go, he knew it was time to enter the ark, for to be carried through the tribulation. 56-0603 THE.LAMB’S.BOOK.OF.LIFE

Where did Branham get all of this from? It was from the book of Noah which was part of the book of Enoch letting us know Enoch was 500 years old and lived during the same time as Noah. But the Bible says differently. According to the Bible Enoch was taken up when he was 365 years old and Noah was born 69 years later. Are we to believe Branham or the Bible? Many believes Branham because his followers thinks he spoke God’s words or his voice was the Voice of God.

Pyramids Capstone: — This is the top of a Pyramid and Archaeologist said it was usually cover with Gold to reflect the Sun Rays. I am not sure about other pyramids but the one Branham referred to was in Egypt. Let us see what he said.

So there’s no—there’s no top on the pyramid. What is it? Enoch built it before the flood. It was a—a memorial, that’s the reason it never destroyed during the time of the flood. There’s nothing destroyed it, because it is a memorial.” (“The True Easter Seal,” sermon #61-0402)

As I said above Archaeologist said the Pyramids was built after the flood and they said it did have a capstone. Being overlaid with Gold they believe Earthquakes, Grave robbers and Looters somehow scrape off the Gold and nature destroyed the rest of the capstone through rain and wind erosion.

Branham taught that the reference to the cornerstone in Psalm 118:22, Matthew 21:42, Mark 12:10, Acts 4:11, and 1 Peter 2:4 are all references to the fact that the Great Pyramid does not have a capstone. He believed the Headstone and Cornerstone in the Bible was referring to the Capstone of the Pyramids.

Like Enoch, who built the pyramids, that we believe. And the capstone never was put on top of them, because the headstone was rejected. And we taken now, not as Doctrine, but as to understand, just for the church here. ADOPTION.2_ JEFF.IN 60-0518

The Headstone in the Bible is referring to the Head Cornerstone on the foundation. Branham was influence by the Occult he confused the Bible Headstone with the Capstone on the Pyramid.

Do the Pyramid in Egypt have a Shadow? — William Branham: Sermon Title: The Future Home of the Heavenly Bridegroom and the Earthly Bride, Jeffersonvillie, Indiana, V-3 N-5 August 2, 1964

57-4 193 … The pyramid of Enoch casts no shadow no time of the day. I’ve been in Egypt at the pyramids. It’s so geographically fixed, and in the dimensions of this great geometrical figure; that no matter where the sun is, there’s never a shadow around the pyramid. See how it is?

Branham said the Great Pyramid in Egypt didn’t cast a shadow because he has been in Egypt and didn’t see one and it is located in the center of the earth. Anyone having studied the Bible knows Jerusalem is the center of the earth.

First Where did Branham get his information? It was from the following ancient writings which were believed at the time.

Lucian, Toxaris 27 (1st c. CE): “[Demetrius] had heard it said that the Pyramids in spite of their great height cast no shadow.” (trans. F. W. Fowler and H. G. Fowler)

Cassiodorus, Variae Epistolae 7.15 (5th c. CE): “the Pyramids of Egypt, the shadows of which do not extend beyond the space of their construction.” (trans. Mrs. Edward Cresy) (Note: This passage is omitted from the standard English translation and can be found only in the complete Latin text.)

Authors of Various Antiquities (1560): “The Pyramids are towers in Egypt, of such an height that no human power could have constructed them; they exceed all mensuration that could be taken by their shadows:—in fact, they have no shadows.” (trans. Spengler and qtd. in Vyse’s Operations)

Unless Branham was there at Noon he lied about being there because the Great Pyramids in Egypt does cast Shadows.

Branham’s Cloud

This message will deal with a cloud which I call “Branham’s Cloud” caused by 7 Angels. In this message I will present different Branham sermons on this subject and point out haw he added to each one concerning the cloud. Might be more than one U-Tube Video since I try keeping the videos within a 15 minute time frame if that long.

Branham said on 2-28-1963 he was in the Sabino Canyon about 40 miles Northeast of Tucson when 7 Angels in the shape of an “Inverted Pyramid.” (I will talk about Pyramids in another message.) Let us get Branham’s exact words. — “Brother Branham said: Science took the picture all the way from Mexico as it moved from northern Arizona, where the Holy Spirit said I would be standing (forty miles northeast of Tucson). And it went into the air, and “Life” magazine packed the pictures: a mystic something way in the spheres there there can be no moisture, where there can be no evaporation of anything, thirty miles high and twenty-seven miles across and coming right up from where those Angels were. RISING.OF.THE.SUN_ JEFF.INV-3 N-12 SUNDAY_ 65-0418M”.

Before I present Branham’s sermons and his followers comments I want you to notice the incident took place February 28 1963 but his first message on the cloud was given April 4 1965. (65-0418) which was over 2 years later. There is a reason I am pointing this out as you will see later in the message.

Followers of William Branham believe that he prophesied the appearance of “The Cloud” in “Reproach for the cause of the Word” December 23, 1962 which was a little over 2 months before it supposedly Happen. Let us look at his message on that day.

He claimed he had a vision — And I–I looked up, and kind of in the shape of a pyramid, standing before me, was little small birds, something like a half-inch long. And they were up at the top on the limbs, they was a–may say three or four, and the next–next limb had maybe eight or ten, and down at the bottom had fifteen or twenty. They were little warriors, because their feathers was beaten; and looked like they were trying to talk to me, saying something ‘And I was in the west, seemingly around Tucson, Arizona. — Then all of a sudden, one bird begin to take the other one’s place–jumping like that–and they, the little birds, swiftly left, flying eastward. And when they did, from that came a larger bird, more like doves, with the pointed wings; and–and–and they come in a swarm and swiftly–more swift than what the little birds was–flew eastward. But here they come. And they were so terrifically fast, till I thought when it lifted up… I heard that explosion like, or like a blast that went out, like a sound barrier; and when it did, I thought, “Well, this must mean that I’m fixing to be killed (See?) in a blast of some sort.” And–and I–and while I thought on those things, I thought, “No, it wouldn’t be that, because if it was a blast, it would’ve got Joseph too, because there he is still talking, thinking that I’m there. I can hear him. It wasn’t that.” And no more than the second group of birds come by, I looked to the west; and it looked like in a form of a pyramid, like two on each side with one in the top, came five of the mightiest Angels I ever seen in my life. Such a terrific speed I never seen…They were around me. I couldn’t see them, but I’d been brought into this constellation of a pyramid of them, inside this constellation of–of Angels, of five. And I thought, “Now, a death angel would be one, five would be grace.”It just seem to just shakes me, that blasting, and that swift coming of those Angels, like that, five of them together in a constellation of them, like–kind of like a… Like I had that pyramid drawn here.

There isn’t any mentioned of a Cloud or a Cloud Visible to the Public. Have you notice his continue mentioning of a “Pyramid” in his sermons?Keep this in the back of your mind for later. Also notice there were 5 Angels in this Vision and he couldn’t make up his mind if there was a blast or not.

In Lee Vayle book “”The Twentieth Century Prophet” he writes he met with William Branham on December 26, 1962 and speculated whether the vision could relate to an unveiling of the seven thunders of Revelation 10. After the meeting with Lee Vayle Branham’s Next Sermon was “Sirs, what is the time?” December 30, 1962 the number of the Angels changed to 7 instead of 5. Why did the Angels number changed in one week? Let us look at that sermon.

“By the help of God, I’ll be here when this thing is finished and preach the Seven Seals;”’I’m asking you the question. It blasted with thunder when this voice rung out. Did you notice that when the seven seals, that followed the seven church ages; when the first seal was opened, that there was a thunder? The first seals in the Book was opened, there was a thunder. Could it be that? The mighty thunder, or the seventh angel in the seven constellation, seventh period constellation, the pyramid made in a form, three on a side, and one on top, and they dropped from eternity. Could it be? Is this the mystery of the thunders that will bring back the Headstone?…

To understand the above Branham was trying to say he was the seventh angel that is the cap on the Pyramid. This will be presented in another Message.

In the Sermon “Rising of the Sun” sermon on April 18 1965 is when he first mentioned the cloud which was a little over 2 years from the time the incident happened. After his meeting with Lee Vayle His sermon on March 4 1963 he preached in Huston Texas and never mentioned the Cloud, Angels, or Blast. If this happened than why didn’t he mention it 4 days later. The sermons on the 7 seals, March 17 to March 24, he mentioned the 7 Angels in an inverted Pyramid and the Blast sounding like a Thunder but never mentioned a Cloud.

My question is Why? If this happened as he claimed in his sermon “Rising of the Sun” than why didn’t he mentioned the incident for quite a while. Common sense will say if that happened than I will be telling everyone I came in contact with. The first sermon giving about the 7 Angels in an inverted pyramid and the blast was mentioned shortly afterwards but the News Paper had it as a sonic Boom from Jets overhead and it even broke windows out. He picked up on that News account but still nothing about the Cloud.

May 17 1963 Life Magazine had a picture of the cloud over Flagstaff and Science Magazine had a Picture on April 19 1963. But Branham didn’t started giving sermons about the cloud until 1965 which was shortly after he saw the pictures. From his sermons and actual facts I realized Branham added more to his story as he learned more. Also Life Magazine had another cloud picture at the same time. Why Didn’t Branham mention the second Cloud?

North East of Tucson will place it over Flagstaff, Arizona. There was a Mysterious Cloud appearing over Flagstaff on the evening of 2-28-1963 and the cloud could be seen 28 minutes after Sundown. It was Moving West to East but there are not any records of the Wind Blowing from Tucson to Flagstaff at any height. That cloud appeared in the Evening and not in the Morning as Branham stated.

Branham lied as he did in his other messages. He wanted to present himself as another Elijah and the only way to do this was his stories of the Supernatural Encounters he supposedly had. He lied about his Childhood and year he was born in.

I pray if you read this message, you will continue reading the rest.

Branham’s Childhood

BAnyone reading the printed form of Branham’s Tape Messages or listened to his tapes has heard about his early Childhood in Kentucky. What I will do is take some of those stories and present them to you and any discrepancies in the messages and also give the true facts with evidence as I did in the message about his birth.

Branham said his father died at an early age and because of his Father’s death Branham only got a seventh Grade education because he had to work and take care of 10 Children.(Branham, 54-0620A) (Branham, 55-0807). This will make Branham about 12 years old. Depending on which year of the years he claimed he was born in, it will mean his Father died in 1919 if William was born in 1907 which Government Records shows. If he was born in 1908 his Father will had died in 1920 and if William was born in 1909 than his Father died in 1921.

In different messages he talked how he had to quit school in the seventh Grade and take care of his siblings and mother and he did this by hunting and I imagine part time work. It was during the hunting trips he had his encounter with spirits or angels and this was happening in Kentucky and after his Father’s death.

Problems: Jeffersonville, Indiana obituary it said His Father was 53. (Will show this in the Next Frame or if you are on the website I will give the link to the obituary.) If His Father was 18 at the time of William’s Birth in 1909 this will mean William was 35 years old and as he said in another message if his Father was 23 that will mean William will be 30 at the time of his Father’s death and all his siblings will also be grown.

Are you seeing the discrepancies in his testimonies and the actual facts? Did Branham live with his siblings in Kentucky and he had to support them because of his Father’s early Death or did his Father and Mother moved to Jeffersonville, Indiana with him when he was 3 years old?

In Branham, 50-0820A – My Life Story he said “Well, I remember the days when a little boy, about… There was about four of us in family. I’m… My mother’s the mother of ten children, nine boys and a girl. I was the oldest of the family.”

Notice Branham Said there were four of them in the Family and than he said his Mother which was the mother of 10 Children. He realized his mistake and so instead of correcting it he introduce his Mother as the Mother of 10 Children as a diversion. Was there only Four of them in Kentucky before they moved to Jeffersonville, Indiana?

According to Government Records, William was born in Kentucky in 1907. His next younger brother, Winferd, was born in 1909 in Kentucky(The year Branham later claimed for himself after marrying his second wife) and died in 1929 at the age of 19..These are the only two children born in Kentucky, the rest were born in Clark County, Indiana. Therefore when Branham said there were 4 of them he was correct but realized it will contradict with his other testimonies of his childhood in Kentucky.

The 1930 Census gives the birthplace for both of the parents, and each of the siblings. At the time of this census, Melvin was 18 years old, while William was 21. The record also shows that William was born in Kentucky, and that Melvin was born in Indiana. According to this census report, Branham would have been three years old when Melvin was born in Indiana. The records for the rest of the siblings also show Indiana as the state of birth. Therefore His Mother and Father Moved to Jeffersonville, Indiana when he was three which will been too young to remember much if anything about his first 3 years in Kentucky.

The census records place all of Branham’s childhood stories as fiction. The hunting, trapping, selling skins, and other activities is impossible when you consider William Branham would had been under age three.

Did William Branham lie? Yes he did showing he didn’t have the Spirit of God but a lying spirit. As with other cults his followers tried covering up the facts by saying the testimonies we have now was alter by his enemies but still they don’t produce any other testimonies and also I had read and listen to many of his sermons and so I will like to know at what time was any of them altered?

Some goes so far and say the Government documents are false but they can’t produce anything proving they are false. He was lying and he knew at that time there wasn’t anyway to prove he was lying and none tried because they were gullible. I had done lots of digging and pray someone will have their eyes open.

Branham’s Birth

 

BIn this message I will present to you what I learned from Branham’s messages about his birth. As I present this message I will point out discrepancies in Branham’s messages of his Birth.

His parents were Charles Branham and Ella Harvey Branham. I read two accounts of their ages when William was born. One stated Charles was 18 and Ella was 15 and the other account was Charles was 22 and Ella was 18 when his Parents were married and he was born a year later. His Parents believed in Psychic Readings or Fortune Telling and were involved with that part of the occult and he grew up in that environment. (Kurt Koch, Between Christ and Satan, p. 150). You will see later how this effected his life and calling he had.

His followers knows from his messages about his birth and the supernatural sign concerning his Birth. Most of his followers didn’t catch in his messages he gave two different dates for his birth with a supernatural sign and the date he used on his Marriage License is not the same as the other two giving us three different dates of his birth. Which is correct?

As I said Branham was brought up in a Physic and Fortunetelling environment and as we will learn later it effected his calling beliefs and the two dates he gave for his birth with a Supernatural Sign. Let us examine his testimony on the two dates of Birth with supernatural sign.

Dowie: died March 9, 1907

“How Doctor Dowie, in his death, prophesied that I would come to that city forty years from the time that he died. Not knowing nothing about it, he died on one day, and I was born on the next.

Branham, 51-0929 – Our Hope Is In God

Branham reminded the congregation of Dowie’s prophecy regarding the coming revival. In a sermon, entitled “I Was Not Disobedient To The Heavenly Vision,” Branham promoted the idea that he was to bring the revival that Dowie promised would come. Two years later, addressing Raymond T. Richey, Branham reminds Richey of Dowie’s prophecy. In this sermon, Branham makes the claim that Dowie “died on one day, and I [William Branham] was borned on the next.” Both Richey and F. F. Bosworth were taught under the ministry of Dowie, though Bosworth had co-founded the Assemblies of God under which Richey was ordained as a minister. To these men trained under Dowie, Branham’s claim to have been born the day after Dowie died would have been very appealing. Dowie died on March 9, 1907, placing Branham’s claim of birth to be March 10, 1907.

My question is how will Branham know what Dowie Prophesied if Branham wasn’t born yet? His environment of the occult and his desire to exalt his ministry was the reason he was preaching this.

Though this didn’t concern his birth in another sermon he said — Wigglesworth: died March 12, 1947

“And how that Dr. Price had prophesied of a great move coming. And Dr. Price moved off the earth one day. Wigglesworth moved off one night, Dr. Price the next morning. And the next day I was visit by the Angel of the Lord just to go out. And man foresaw it coming (You see?), and here it is now.”

Branham, 57-0325 – The Lamb And The Dove

The three men mentioned by Branham were well known healers and prophets in their days and Branham was trying to connect his ministry with them by claiming supernatural signs.

Branham other date of Birth was April 6, 1909 and his testimony follows:

“When I was born and the mid-wife opened a window shutter to let in some sunlight a light came in about the size of a pillar and hover over me and my Mother and than went down on the Bed where they were laying.” Since he was just born how will he know anything about a light the size of a Pillar? You can say his Mother told him but keep in mind she believed in Physic signs and it is well known anyone fooling around with Physic signs and fortunetelling usually has demonic spirits in their homes. If satan wants to prepare someone for a future use than what better way than this. In another message he said a Robin was sitting by the window singing as if this was a sign of his supernatural birth. Branham started preaching the April 6 1909 date in August 1952.

In other messages he talked how fortune tellers will stop him and tell him he was born under a sign. One told him the star of the wise men were actually three stars or planets which aligned over Jesus in Bethlehem. She told him those three stars were inline at his birth and hovered above him. This fortune teller claimed she was an astrologist and study the stars and planets. She also told him the hour, the day and the year he was born which was April 6, 1909 at five in the morning. (Branham, 55-0117 – How The Angel Came To Me, And His Commission)(Branham, 60-0210M – The Revelation That Was Given To Me)

The last two references of course was later in life but because of the supernatural signs at his birth and Branham’s Claim fortune tellers told him the same thing I posted the above two in this message. Branham made many claims about his birth (which dates don’t agree) and the voice and spirit following him throughout his life which I will continue with in the next message.
