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.
