Was Todd Bentley another William Branham?
William Branham was a well-known and controversial prophet from the Voice of Healing movement. His name has been used in many prophecies lately, particularly in and by prophets that attended the Lakeland Revival meetings in Florida with Canadian Evangelist Todd Bentley. Many in this generation have only heard his name, but who was Branham? Here is just a little information for you history students.
William Marrion Branham was born in Kentucky April 6, 1909. He is best known as the prophet of the Voice of Healing movement. On June 11, 1933 in Ohio he reported an encounter with an angel at a baptismal service. Many say they saw a light over his head.
In May 1946 Branham told followers the angel visited him again saying, “Do not fear. I am sent from the presence of the Almighty God to tell you that your peculiar birth and misunderstood life has been to indicate that you are to take a gift of divine healing to the peoples of the world. If you will be sincere when you pray and can get the people to believe you, nothing shall stand before your prayer, not even cancer. You will go into many parts of the earth and will pray for kings and rulers and potentates. You will preach to multitudes the world over and thousands will come to you for counsel.” Click here to watch a video with Brother Branham testifying of his calling.
In June that same year he launched his healing and prophetic ministry. It grew like wild fire and thousands found Jesus as their Savior. In 1947 Branham met a champion of the faith Gordon Lindsay, founder of Christ for the Nations, who became his biographer and publicist, booked his meetings and edited his Voice of Healing magazine. Later he would preach to some of the largest crowds in the world at that time, upwards of 45,000 in attendance. Lindsay wrote a best selling Christian book of his life “A Man Sent from God.”
In 1948 Pentecostal father of the faith F. F. Bosworth who wrote “Christ the Healer” met Branham in Miami Florida after he retired at 71. They were close friends and worked together in ministry until Bosworth’s death in 1958. He said of Branham “During the past few years, I have often wept for joy over God’s recent gift to the Church, of our beloved brother William Branham, with his marvelous gift of healing. This is a case of God doing exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think for I have never seen or read of anything to equal the healing ministry of William Branham.”
One of the most respected evangelist of the 20th century T. L. Osborn and wife Daisy testified to Paul and Jan Crouch on the Trinity Broadcasting Network how Brother Branham changed their lives and ministry forever. This is the part of Branham’s ministry we all would like to remember. Click here to watch the video.
Former speaker at the Lakeland Florida Revival Prophet Paul Cain said that Branham was “the greatest prophet that ever lived.” Today many have never heard of William Branham. So was Branham the greatest prophet that ever lived? Is he our example for prophetic ministry today? Do we want a double portion of the Branham anointing prayed over us? Should those kinds of prayers even be offered?
Braham had incredible crowds attend his meetings, many prophetic words of knowledge and healings but something went wrong, terribly wrong. After reviewing his ministry I think we need to take a break and examine some of his teachings. Not only that, we should also be careful prophesying Branham’s anointing over others when we don’t even know much about him.
Unfortunately, during the latter years of Branham’s ministry he went deep into deception and thousands questioned his unscriptural teachings. Even after close friends tried to reach him, including Gordon Lindsay he stood his ground and many of his ministry associates distanced themselves.
The Voice of Healing movement was over. This is the part of the story that no one wants to remember but it proves that all of us can be deceived when we embrace supernatural experiences and angelic visitations above the written Word of God. Like healing revivalists John Alexander Dowie before him, founder of Zion, Illinois, Branham began to think that he was Elijah.
This same deceiving spirit has plagued the Pentecostals for centuries (Acts 16:16). It is a high-level occult spirit, a counterfeit of the Holy Ghost that attacks those that rise to a certain level of ministry. It covets prophetic ministry and is full of orphic, mystical and supernatural experiences. If people do not discern and defeat this spirit it takes them out, their disciples too and buffets the advancement of the Gospel of Christ.
Sadly, Branham didn’t make it. He started the race blessing the body of Christ mightily but his end proved scripturally reckless and shipwrecked. Branham’s teachings — the good, questionable and bad are well documented in his letters, books and audios. The following paragraphs outline some of the more dangerous doctrines – in his own words – that damaged Branham’s ministry beyond repair.
Branham was a “Oneness Preacher” and denied the Trinity. In his own words:
“Why don’t you examine your baptism of Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, and that false `trinity’ it’s so-called, which is nothing in the world but three offices of one God, titles. No, name of Father, there’s no such a thing as name, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost which is the Lord Jesus Christ.”
“…not one place in the Bible is trinity ever mentioned…It’s Catholic error and you Protestants bow to it.”
“You show me one place where one person was baptized in the name of the Father, Son, Holy Ghost, I’ll raise my hands and say I’m a false prophet.”
Branham taught that Eve had sex with the Serpent and birthed Cain. This was his “Serpent Seed” teachings. In his own words:
“Eve’s eating was adultery with the serpent, Proverbs 30:20. Remember, he was not a snake at this point. That curse came after the act. …It was not an apple that caused Adam and Eve to realize they were naked. But it was a sex act. …The serpent was an upright handsome creature. He was, in fact, ‘the missing link’ that science even in their unspiritual wisdom, can see is missing ‘between man and monkey.’ Satan used this creature to get himself into the Human race.”
“Noah and his sons which come out, Ham, Shem, and Japheth, come out in the righteous line. How did the seed ever get over? The seed come over in the ark, just like it did in the beginning through the woman, their wives. They carried the seed of Satan through the ark, just as Eve packed the seed of Satan to give birth to Cain, through the woman.”
Branham prophesied and taught the Age would end around 1977 and usher in the Millennium. In his own words:
“That this age will end around 1977…I base this prediction on seven major continuous visions that came to me one Sunday morning in June, 1933.”
“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.”
Beginning in 1963 Branham taught that he (not Jesus) was given permission by seven angels to open the Seven Seals of Revelation. In his own words:
“We find out that during that time I saw seven angels in a form of a pyramid that swept down and picked me up. And I was brought east to open the Seven Seals for God.”
Unfortunately these are only a few erroneous teachings that came from esoteric experiences through visions, angelic visitations and encounters with the supernatural, not from the written Word of God. It’s interesting that David Koresh, leader of the Branch Davidians in Waco, Texas, said he too was called to open the seven seals of Revelation. The teaching of special privilege and revelation, angelic visitations and assignments, mystical experiences and exceptional relationships with God and angels has caused many to err.
After reading just a few of Branham’s teachings, one should be all the more careful about throwing Branham’s name around at revival meetings, prophesying a “double portion” of his anointing and especially encouraging angelic visitations. It seems to me most would rather want a double portion of the Holy Spirit (if that’s even necessary) more than any angel, healing evangelist’s or dead prophet’s anointing. Yes, we can learn some good things from Branham’s early ministry, be respectful and forgiving of his Scriptural errors. But we must also learn from his mistakes so they are not repeated again. “Trying the spirits” by using the written Word of God to confirm what we hear, see and experience is not being judgmental. On the contrary trying the spirits is rock-solid Scriptural (1 John 4:1).
How does Branham’s story end? On Christmas Eve December 24, 1965 he died of injuries from a car accident in Tucson, Ariz. after being hit head on by a drunk driver.

Dear Jonas Clark ,it seems that you know so much of a man who was used
of god in a migthty way.Did you know that JESUS CHRIST was also denied
by his fellow learnt jews.They also rejected his doctrine.The anointing that rested upon WILLIAM BRANHAM did not only heal people but seperated the wheat from the tares.The bible says that the rain falls on the just and unjust.Tares are not unblievers in the world but
so called christains who are found in the church.WILLIAM BRANHAMS
ministry was to prepare a bride for JESUS CHRIST, who will be a word bride and full of the anointing.The church has focused to long on the anointing and forsaken the true word.Great men of GOD who knew this man
where blind to the revelation of GOD.Why this has happened ?because
they were not given the same gift and had different responsibilities in the church.Saint JOHN the devine was the only one used to write the book of revelation .Show me one man who has the true understanding
of the book of revelation.There is none, even after 40 years of BRANHAM
death there is none.WILLIAM BRANHAM was not that what you think but
a true servant of GOD.Tares do not understand a revelation only mental
theology.Are you a tare or a foolish virgin or a bride. JAYCE PILLAY
(English is my second lamguage)
Jayce,
I come from Jewish background but I love Yeshua (Jesus)!
I am a lover of God and I invest my life at Jesus feet!
Tyhe Lord uses me in intercession for the nations.
I also have had Third Heaven experiences!
However we can’t change the Word of God!
I suggest that You read the Book of Revelation Chapter 5
In Verse 3 it says that no man in heaven,earth or under the earth was worthy to open the book (of the seven seals) or to look to the book.
So John (the revelator) wept.
In verse 5,it says:
“And one of the elders saith unto me,Weep not:behold,the Lion of the tribe of Judah,the Root of David,hath prevailed to open the book,and to loose the seven seals thereof”
In chapter 9 the four beasts and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb singing a new song:”Thou art worhty to take the book ,and to open the seals thereof:for thou was slained and has redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue and people and nation.
Be careful that You will not honor a man’s saying above the Word of God!
We must spend time in the secret place with the Lord!
We must be a passionate bride!
That’s when the Lord takes us to the dephts of His heart and We become one with Him!
This is not a one time experience!-We must cultivate that intimacy daily.Then We will be able to see everything the way He does and to feel what Jesus feels for this broken world!
The Lord told me that the highest ministry there is,is intimacy with God!I also love to minister to the Father and to the Holy Spirit!
God Bless You!
Why is it so hard for Gods children to see the truth? Maybe it’s because they don’t really know the Word ( JESUS ) they only know a form of Godliness.
I am just a simple man that can not do nothing else but believe the word of God in it’s fullnest. As I read the word of God it tells me that He never changes that He is the same yesterday today and forever and I praise Him for that, because I can rest upon that.Since God can not learn anymore or change anymore,than I have to believe that the way He did things before that it will always be the same way He will act in the future as He did in the past.Brothers I beseach you to yield to the Holy Spirt and If you do not believe in Brother William Marrion Branham than you must look for another man that will fit into Malachi 4:5 because rememer God does not change, and if He sent John to prepare His first comming than He will send another man to prepare His second comming, just like He promised in Malachi 4:5 He can not do it any different, other wise He made a mistake the first time and He no longer would qualify for a God. Brothers and if you do believe in William Marrion Branham’s teaching obey his teaching and do not argue with the word of God or try to convince anyone for that is God’s Job.
May God Bless You All.

Thank you for your article. You mentioned, “Branham was a “Oneness Preacher” and denied the Trinity.” Then you submitted a few quotes. But here’s what he said concerning “oneness” and “trinitarianism.”
“I’m not Oneness. Not at all. I’m not trinity either. I’m a Christian. I believe in God. I believe in God manifested in three offices.”
“I know that I’m talking in here even to trinitarian ministers. And my brethren, I do not say this…to hurt. I’m a trinitarian too; I believe in the trinity, the three attributes of God, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, but not three Gods.”
The quotes you give don’t prove that William Branham was Oneness nor does it show that he denied the true Biblical concept of the Trinity. He only denies the misconception that God is three Divine Persons or Beings making Him Three Gods.
Believers the day of the Lord is nigh.
Bro.Jonas Clark if you believer the Word, the Word said God is sending forrunner(PROPHET) before He come to Judge the World, then if you believe that can you please, believer show me this Forrunner(PROPHET) that you God has/will send as the days now are getting more evil.
God Bless and if possible see you in Rapture!!
Please don’t associate Evangelist Todd Bentley with William Branham nor to the Latter Rain Movement or Joel’s Army etc… To compare is untruth.
Just by researching William Branham’s life will show the significant difference. You may not agree with his doctrines, but his character speaks volumes and easily shows he does not fit the modern day ministries that try to glean from his authenticacy in order to boost their charlatan ways.
well friends,i’v known this Great Prophet for 4 years now,& there is no way absolutely no way we can deny Gods Words.THRUOGH HIS MOUTH.
Personally when i was growing in spirit as a young boy,i would read the bioble so hard and pray so much,that i feel guilty i’m failing to reach those levels,and & most of those who know me can deny if i explain how much i prayed.
i reached a point when i would go to church & find the Pastors/Priests/Evangilist wohoever’s sermons not satisfying i changed denominations so much & dont want top list them,something was still lacking,i could feel it.
i cried to the Lord where then is the true Church of God.7 found no answer,i got convinced no one is believing fully & should not go to Church & gave up,
i prayed hard If there is any true church you God WILL sent ME there.
A bout 6 Months later i visited my aunt who believes so much in Branham,Oh PRAISE God i found one of those false prophets,that we had been warned by Jesus,so real to me,it was that Branham Was a false prohet,itried to turn back my aunt in the right direction but never gave me a chance to utter any objection,2 years down the line I got so much courage to face the Pastor to warn him he was misleading his flock,,Great is the Lord
Before I could see him the next Sunday,Idont know how i opened THE BRANHAM website & i was sruck,so much struck in my soul tha t the man was Gods Direct MESSANGER.iCOULD NOT DENY IT now far far more real a prophet tthan my first thought,my BROther tried to change me back but i found it impossible to disbelieve God’s PROPHET and got baptised thi year-4 years after hearing about the prophet.
bROTHERS & SISTERS thats the only way you can understand Gods message of this hour,That man was from God & is in line with Elijah,Moses,John and all those great prophets.
dont deny it but pray that God may open your soul.
can anyone please read bible first before you speak..
it s very clear that branham is the false prophet and so many errors. how could anyone miss THE WORD OF GOD very simple scripture. eve sex with serpent?? a little 5 years child could read and understood adam “KNEW” his wife eve KNEW mean intercourse. was that hard to read?? helllo??
no one is worthy to open seals.. only JESUS bec HE has no SIN but Branham already sin and was not permit to open or to look at book AT ALL!!!!!!!!!
was that hard to understand??
He could be Elijah bec his family was not christian or jews. he was not jew. if he s elijah then what was he doing in USA?? he was suppose to be at Israel.
Elijah will come only to Israel not USA.
did you know that so many false prophet and always talk about REV> many false prophet misinterpret REV.
i think the problem today was that so many people are not reading bible everyday and not fellowship one other and not attending to church.
mostly people dont read WORD of GOD and that cause confusing.
people who read bible then they could tell that they are false prophet..
i encourage people who dont read bible much then please read bible more often..
i could tell u more about willaim branham but not worth my time bec i know GOD wants me to witness lost souls than wasting my time for those who are hard head or just won t admit to realized to see the truth.. please repent as soon as possible.. andd please read bible first.. once u understand bible again and again then u will see the thruth.thank you.. and GOD bless you
Let us be careful how we talk about this man of God.Let it not be found of us talking against God.

Pastor Ramon Alto – (632)6823764, 639195795793
God Bless You Brothers,
Many shall be deceived in the last days, if it were posssible the elect would be deceived. Deep down in my heart Bro. Braham is a true Messenger that fulfils mal. 4:5. It takes a man that has the seed (ie predestinated soul) for the light to struck and say yes this is it. Has anybody ever imagined if Jesus was to come in our time the same way will so many ague and miss Him, a child born in the least town of Jeruselem – Bethelehem, in a manger calling himself Kings of Kings…Brother so many would have miss Him. Even so our days I take it as a normal thing even though Bro Braham have all the signs of mal 4 and rev. 10:7. they cant see it cos they have been made to believe a dellusion. You cant change the word of God. That trumpet is still sounding, take heed!!!!!
Jesus was performing different miracles in His days. Immediately he started saying I am the Light, the truth and the way.. no one goes to my father except through me. All that followed him left except the disciples cos the mysteries was too high for them.
Bro Branham preached over 1,100 recorded sermons and many others not recorded. I don’t understand how people take a few quotes of some of his sermons and get to understand his doctrine. In their quest to prove that they understand his teachings some make themselves a miserable lot. It is not worth the effort – my brothers i think it would be better to believe what your pastor tells you and let those who believe in Bro Branham’s message alone!
Dear Jonas Clark,
I’m sure you mean well by wanting to show error in another man’s ministry that you find difficult to understand. Please don’t make the mistake of falling into error yourself by writing statements about a man of God that are false. You wrote in your article that ‘Branham began to think he was Elijah’ Did you check it out? If you did, you would find out that he did not say that, and it is on record. He stated that he would actually leave the ministry if the ‘people’ did not stop calling him Elijah. You, like so many ministers, who were not there at the time of his ministry and did not know the man personally have misunderstood William Branham. In your attempts to show that William Branham ‘went into deep deception’ you have fallen into deep deception yourself by not checking the facts. You have taken his words out of context and have missed the point of this man’s ministry and his message. Therefore by your motive of wanting to show error, you have been a pen in the hand of the enemy and not of God by deceiving the very people you are trying to protect. It is only fair that you write a retraction to some of the false statements you made about William Branham. At the least, please make sure your statements are correct by checking them out thoroughly.
Dear Marcos, you quoted on Nov 24: how could anyone miss THE WORD OF GOD very simple scripture. eve sex with serpent?? a little 5 years child could read and understood adam “KNEW” his wife eve KNEW mean intercourse. was that hard to read?? helllo??
Any little 5 year-old child would certainly not be acquainted to the word “KNEW”, how much more “intercourse”. Did you, I wonder? But that’s not my point. My point is, the Word of God is not as easy to be understood as you think. Even the all wise and super spiritual Jewish scribes, rabbis and pharisees and high priest of Israel failed to “see” the first coming of their very own Messiah, the promise seed of Abraham. So no, I dont believe Eve ate a special physical sugar sweet fruit or fruit of any sort. Eve was beguiled and deceived by the Serpent. Have we ever wonder why God is so harsh on adulteress or fornicators throughout the ENTIRE Bible? Things are not as literal as you seem.
MATTHEW 23:33
Ye serpents, ye GENERATION OF VIPERS, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
The “Generation of Serpent” or the “Serpent’s Seed” is a Revelation.
I am a born again, spirit filled, baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, Christian. I am a child of the most high God. I am a sinner. I know that the one and only way to have eternal life is through my savior, Jesus Christ.
I believe that Brother Branham was a Christian man as well. I believe that he also has everlasting life as my brother in Christ. However, I do not believe that he should be lifted up and worshiped as he is today. My family attends a church where Brother Branham’s tapes are played every Sunday. My family also has the framed picture of Brother Branham in their living room. When they discuss the Bible and Jesus’s teachings, they do not say, “God’s word says this, or Jesus says this. . . .” Instead, they say, “Brother Branham says not to do this, or Brother Branham says this. . . ” I have a problem when Christians put their faith and trust in a man rather than in their savior.
I find it very hard to believe that my Jesus didn’t mention William Branham’s name or David Koresh for that matter, in my Bible.
Don’t get me wrong, I do believe Brother Branham was a spiritual leader of his time. His relationship with Jesus Christ and his walk is something that I strive to have. However, I do believe that his followers have made him out to be something that he is not.
One more question, if one of Brother Branham’s prophesies was that California would fall into the ocean before Billy Paul, his son, was an old man, how come this has not come to pass yet. Billy Paul is in his 80′s, and by any one’s standards, that is an old man!
A sincere Christian,
JAS
Greetings in the Name O f Jesus. I am a beliver of God´s word that was brought trough the Ministry Of Brother Branham. It surprised me that after more than forty years of his passing SATAN is using many ways, most of his power and people, big amount of financial resources to dscredit the FACT that God visited THIS generation when HE sent A PROPHET. I would be an anti CHrist If I said Bro Branham was God, that is unfair, but his ministry reflected God´s Mind for the chosen ones of the last day.
Everyone, (including me) must have OWN DISCERNMENT concernig what took place when this man of God carried one that ministry assigned by God. I would not dare to REPEAT (neither you)what a I read in a critical book, not knowing for myself what is true or what is wrong. I invited everyone against the MESSAGE TO GO BACK And READ IT And PLAY SOME TAPES SOMETIMES, UNDER A CLEAN SPIRIT, ASKING ,GOD YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED.
God bless you all, may God´s Light comes and shine in every heart in my pray.
Bro Juancho.
From hence forth we do not know Christ after the flesh, therefore jesus the earthly son of Mary, the brother of James , has no relations to us gentiles. we recognize GOD in Jesus fully manifested.Those of us born of his spirit crown him Lord .
Therefore it’s the spirit of the lord that we recognize in his servants .
i, my self have been a follower of the messsage of the hour for so many years. there has been so much confusion within the message churches themselves, which has led many to split and start their own congregations which belive in different things from the founder. there has been confusions with the message , marriage and divorce which has caused alot of them to split and began teaching that the brothers can marry more than one wife.and it is happening. bro branham was a man of god who at one time god used mightly.his followers are very lost instead of looking up to god they now look to a man. they are no different from the world. they should focus on the bible and stop saying bro branham said!! and being too legalistic. god help us.
Greetings
I agree with flo. Stop looking at a man and keep your eyes and heart in the Bible. Let no man add or remove one word from it.
Some has pictures, calendars all with huge frames in their houses, their eyes has shifted away from God to a man. Just pray, that is all you have to do, talk to God and He will guide you.
It is as simple as that. Live a life that reflects God’d nature here on earth.
Thanks
I have spent many hours and days in prayer asking that God would give me a revalation. This is what my family has said that I need in order to better understand the “message of the hour.” I have spent so much time reading in each of Brother Branham’s books, listened to tapes of his sermons, read his question and answer volumes as well as studying his different documents.
Yesterday while I was in prayer at my home, God revealed something to me that basically “knocked me off of my feet.” I did not hear an audible voice as they show you in movies, but He revealed to me that I need to spend time in HIS word rather than the words of a man. He revealed to me to get rid of the books and spend my time studying my BIBLE which is HIS word instead of spending all of my time trying to decide whether this William M. Branham is truly a prophet of today’s time.
After this, I had a complete peace with my walk and my relationship with God. I wasn’t looking for an answer at that moment, instead trusting that God would give me an answer when He felt I was ready. I no longer study Brother Branham’s books or listen to his tapes. Instead, I spend my time reading my Bible and trying my hardest to be a true “Christian” or ‘LITTLE CHRIST” instead of a FOLLOWER OF AN EARTHLY MAN.
Please don’t think I am being disrespectful to the Late Brother Branham.
HOWEVER, HE IS DEAD. . . MY GOD IS ALIVE!!!!!!!
Sincerely,
JAS
Matthew 17:
11Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things. 12But I tell you, Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but have done to him everything they wished. In the same way the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands.” 13Then the disciples understood that he was talking to them about John the Baptist.
NOW vs 11 says elijah comes & will restore all things,yes its another Elijah thats not JOHN The Baptist
Malachi 4
5Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
6And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
was the First coming of Jesus the Dreadful Day?No .its about the SECOND COMING that bears Judgement.
Brothers and Sisters,What Christians hate about Prophet Branham is the Doctrine and like healing and other things,yet Branham tought no new Doctrine but Paul’s and Paul just taught what the Holy Spirit Told HIM.
I do believed that Branham is a Prophet of God a real prophet of GOD. Wish I will have all the books written by him.
God bless u all,
Brothers don,t be decieved, we are at the end as everybody can see, these earth is too old, the Lord is coming very soon and i am happy to know or to see that my lord is coming soon. He said that he will send Mal.4,5 before his coming. Do you believe that? for me its a big YES, has he come already? YES Do you know him? yes, my heart is burning to know that Iam one of them, I,ve accepted the word of GOD by the prophet of Mal.4, Believe in GOD and believe in his prophet and you shall prosper. I believe even in brother Branham,s errors or faillure, God sent him for me, leave him alone, he come for me, only for me.
bye
I see hypocrisy here in an effort to make William Branham look like a false prophet. These are his words concerning his prediction of the world coming to an end in 1977
LAODICEAN.CHURCH.AGE_ JEFF.IN ROJC 493-550 SUNDAY_ 60-1211E
43 We believe that the Laodicean church started in A.D. 1906. I predict… Now, remember, “predict,” especially you listening at the tape. I don’t say it will be, but predict that it will end by 1977, that the church will go completely into apostasy, and she’ll be ousted out of the mouth of God. And the second coming, or the rapture of Christ, might come anytime. Now, I could miss that a year; I can miss it twenty years, I could miss it a hundred years. I don’t know where. But I just predict that according to a vision He showed me, and taking the time, the way it’s progressing, I say it’ll be sometime between ’33 and ’77. At–at least, this great nation is going to strike a war that’s going to blow it to bits. See? Now, that’s pretty close; it’s awful close. And I could be wrong; I’m predicting. Everybody understand say, “amen” if you do. [Congregation says, "Amen."--Ed.] See?
Let every man make his own decision based on the above
Why is it people hate br Branham so much? Just because br Branham said the Word of God need no private interprator but God is His own interprator. Just because he told us that nothing can enter Heaven except perfect love. just because he said when love is projected grace takes over. Brother Branham just taught the Word and He tought it sencerely than many preachers thats why I like to listen to His sermons.
These days people are compromising God’s Word but Br Branham during his time didn’t.
God Bless you all Brothers and Sisters in Christ.
Br Godfrey
Brother Branham said call me brother, and i like that. So why quaralel about br Branham. I like and love him like any other good Christian messangers
By this will all men know that ye are my disciples…when you love one another! Malachi 4 was sent to restore back the faith of the early church to the omega church; while it is not good to give more glory to the man, it is also not good to pollute other people’s minds with statements that are clearly based on ignorance or irrational judgement. If brother Branham were here, he won’t go for any of the 2 kinds; friends, if William Branham lived a life of Christ like no other in our generation then it is worth humbling ourselves and catching the TRUE message of the End TIme! That is CHRIST wants to veil Himself in US! Don’t miss it! As soon as you become a VEIL, then you will be REJECTED (just like He was) because it’ll be the SAME Spirit living in YOU! That’s all about God’s Prophet William Branham. He is NOT responsible for what some have made him (like a god, or as though they follow a cult) because he never taught that. He only came to fulfill scripture (Mal 4:5-6; St. Luke 17:30; Rev. 10:7 and others).
I know you may say where is his name in the scriptures but do you know that the name Jesus was never mentioned in the Old Testament, which held prophesy about His first Coming? Do you also know that there is some scripture(s) that you also must fulfill? If yes, then why couldn’t someone fulfill the ministry of Mal. 4 in the last days? It means you haven’t studied the Bible enough to know that it is still evolving. Each day a prophecy is fulfilled, and there’s even more for the near future. Just surrender to HIM, who is the guide (not William Branham) and you would understand the ministry of this humble Prophet.
Lastly, for your information, I am 100% sure that all those who have either formed a cult around William Branham or are set out to malign him before other people, both groups are not even aware of what God is currently doing on the earth! Otherwise they wouldn’t even have time to do what they’re doing. But the true Bride(church) of Christ, not a church or organization, but elected children of God around the world know what is going on right now. Just hold on a little while and ONCE MORE the WORLD WOULD HEAR DIRECT FROM GOD AS IT DID AT PENTECOST, but only this time it would be for JUDGEMENT because MERCY has already gone forth.
God bless you.
Its wonderful how God has given us the freedom of choice so we can choose as we are led to believe. In the days of Noah so will it be in the last days. Brother Branham is one of the most humblest and sincerest servant of God that i have ever come across and the fact that he never spoke badly about anyone but rather against the system. He loved the people but condemned their denominational systems.
His life portrayed a real humble servant of God and if we question the way he died, well, its a parallel to our Lord Jesus who died outside the gates with thieves and is there anything dignified about it? hung on the cross nearly naked and people spitting on Him, pierced His hands and speared His side. To that end, let us who are alive, take a good inventory of our lives and look within our own selves to see that our lives line up with the Word of God. God is the Judge.We are known by the fruit of our behaviour, how we speak,dress and walk and the company that we keep. As such, we are supposed to be the living epistles of Jesus Christ read by all men. Jesus said, let him who is innocent and sinless cast the first stone! so just be real humble, live holy lives because God is more than able to speak directly to us from Heaven. Even then, i am sure some people will still not believe but be skeptical. Test everything by the Word of God.
I am convinced and truly believe that William Branham is the Prophet of God for this last gentile age Laodicea and no one needs to defend his position because God is more than able to do that without anyone’s help!!!
If people do not see this, then it was predestined for them not to and that is Biblical.
Let us therefore aspire to be more like Jesus as His appearing is very soon to take place.
Peace be with everyone and thank you for your views and comments.
Dear Brother,
I don’t believe you are being fair to Branham in few key areas:
1. Branham stated to Paul Cain that his FOLLOWERS were claiming he was Elijah and he couldn’t make them stop. Branham himself opposed this.
2. Branham did not claim that his teachings (genuinely questionable) were revelatory – they did not have the authority of his visions.
3. “Branham prophesied and taught the Age would end around 1977 and usher in the Millennium. In his own words:
“That this age will end around 1977…I base this prediction on seven major continuous visions that came to me one Sunday morning in June, 1933.”
“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.””
In 1977, Angels began appearing to Roland Buck in Boise, Idaho, with a number of messages that have all proven true so far. Some have interpreted this as the fulfilment of Branham’s word. What we THINK is meant by “the end of the age” and what GOD means, and how long such a process takes, can be very different.
4. Branham reported events of a revelatory experience – interpreting this as Branham putting himself in Jesus’ place is unfair. “Beginning in 1963 Branham taught that he (not Jesus) was given permission by seven angels to open the Seven Seals of Revelation. In his own words:
“We find out that during that time I saw seven angels in a form of a pyramid that swept down and picked me up. And I was brought east to open the Seven Seals for God.””
This is not necessarily teaching, but reporting something that needs interpretation.
Branham was a true prophet. He carried some of the religious ideas he had been brought up with throughout his life, and made mistakes based on these. He was very careful to separate the revelations from his beliefs.
It could be argued that he died because of these errors. He spoke a curse over his life to Paul Cain, when he declared he couldn’t stop his followers promoting him as Elijah. He said: “God will take me home early. He will not have anyone stealing His glory.”
This si clearly NOT the loving Father Heart of God, yet I believe this gave the enemy a doorway to prematurely attack Branham and take him out.
if you look at his prediction not profesy,saying the end of the laodicea,make youre theology usefull and search what happened.1977 that was when the ministry of brother branham took hold of the ‘elects’ lifes that was when people left the harlot being denominations and took their crosses and followed christ.that was the end of laodicea for those who followed the massenger of their hour.god bless you as i ask you to repent from theology because at the end you will only be like those inteligent hypocrits
Dear Human Being,
I’m sorry but why don’t you just rely on others’ sayings about William Branham :
1) as Paul Cain…..
2) Tommy Osborn said “~~he was the manifestation of God in Human Flesh
3) Oral Roberts and others testified he was a Humble servant of the Lord
Why critise what you even haven’t time and opportunity to see, don’t rely on hear-sayings only
He never said what you pretend he had said, but he believe as Jesus, that “This Generation will never pass………..
Sorry I can’t take it any long
Please Dear Human Being repent before it becomes late
My Sheep here my voice.God used Br Branham and we heard his voice.Brotheras ,Sisters if you still doubt pray that he’ll let you hear his voice.Search the scriptures and let God vindicate to you that you’re is sheep.Pray time is near
God bless you
Why is this so complicated? Let God be true and every man a Liar.
God is not a man that He should lie. Did Bro Branham lie? Is he God?
I listened to his messages for many years and was brought up with this. I learned to love him and believed every word. One day while I was studying one of his messages, Bro. Branham told how he came down from the mountain, and when he stopped at a gas station, the attendant asked him if he was up on the mountain. Bro Branham said, “what do you mean, No”. He lied to him. It bothered me so much. He had just had the experience with the 7 angels, it didn’t make sense. Does anyone else have any thoughts on this?
I have read the article that Jonas Clark wrote. I don’t agree with his statements. I do believe that he is miss informed about what Bro Branham has said. On what the others have replied about the article many of you not all of you failed to mention one thing. It takes a revelation sent from God to understand anything. As Jesus said to Peter upon this rock (revelation) I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it. Every divine revelation has to dovetail with the word of God. Bro Branham has made that perfectly clear. If one word is added or taking away than your part is taken out of the book of Life. One more thing I am not following a man, I am following the Holy Ghost inside of a man. Christ in you the hope of Glory!
dear friends;
if you listen to william branhams tapes you will find many contradictions
God is not the author of confusion& many believe that elijah of malachi 4 is for the gentiles, yet read the full book of malachi , not just one verse, its to Israel not to any gentiles.
The jewish people have a seat of elijah waiting for his return& also what happened on the mount transfiguration with moses& elijah talking to jesus??, they wanted to make tabernacles for them. does that say something about the branham tabernacle??.
Yet the voice of GOD spoke& commanded ” this is my beloved son HEAR YE HIM’( HEBREWS CHAPTER1-1 SAYS SAME).
then they seen jesus only, no prophets!!!!!. thats a lesson to us all we follow no prophets, that is why jesus is the WORD ITSELF the final authority.
This is the conversation between Pilate and Jesus before Jesus was put to death:
John 18:33. Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews?
34. Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me?
35. Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done?
36. Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
I am sure if William Branham were here today he would just walk away from the likes of people who write such things as you have written but someone had to be the fools witness. I never even met William Branham and came to know of this Message in 1986. left a church as Baptist believer of 28 years. And I believe That Message He delivered to the world, with all my heart, And I believe that If Br Branham were still alive, He might say something similar to you, face to face under such pursecution.
This isn’t my home, my world, my kingdome; I won’t fight you over this kind of thing..He would continue to bring the Word forth and he would go his way..
When satan offered Jesus Christ the kingdoms of the earth he knew who satan was and that here at this endtime, satan would be owning all the kingdoms of the earth. He turned him down. Jesus Christ wasn’t after those kingdoms. He was after believers who would be Bride of Christ.. Perhaps You have damaged his witness for some but I doubt you could sway a Real Believer who really Believes; by Revelation, it’s the rock no one can come against not even the gates of Hell.. I feel sorry for the ones like you who cannot see Revelation and Spirit and Supernatural is all over in the Written Word of God, But then maybe you don’t read scriptures, you write books and kill Good Prophets.. I pray no mercy for any of the corruptable such as yourself. Carol
Carol writes, “I pray no mercy for any of the corruptable such as yourself.” Is this the Christian spirit to curse those that Jesus died for while defending Branham?
Jayce writes, “Are you a tare or a foolish virgin or a bride.” It looks like this poster agrees in the false statements of Branham such as this age would end in 1977, Eve having sexual relations with Satan and no Father, Son and Holy Ghost Trinity.
God does not contradict himself when He said that the word is hidden to the wise and the prudent but revealed unto babes. why dont we believe? what did Bro Branham say which has not come to pass? the only thing which is underway is the manifestation of the children of God and the coming of the lord and whoever will not pay heed to this faithful servant of God will perish. whom do you think is referred to in Malachi 4:5 and reve 10:7. whose is to fullfill the ministry of luke 17. let us be on our knees for the hour of the lord is at hand and if you do not believe the preaching of the prophet of God you will perish like the others who denied Jesus in his day.
the lord God can do nothing but all he reveals unto his servant the prophet. bro branham’s role was to bring the message to the people who ought to believe him because God vindicated him. did men today want to be in cave with the prophet to believe the angel visited him? Not necessary for a believer!
whoever receives a prophet in the name of the prophet recieves the prophet’s reward friend if you dont believe you will miss the great reward awiting the mighty servant of God. the lord bless you
the time will tell who is ryt and who is wrong..If William Branham was wrong lets wait and hear God condemn him on that day..i have read his writings and to me its purely the Word i jus do not understand people who take wat other people say a secondhand infor and run with it,,its high tym an individual seek the Lord on any quastion and research themselves without the influence of anyone but the Holy Ghost Himself
I can see the author of this is trying to bring in the truth but not well informed. in some cases all I see is misrepresentstion.
Bro Branham said IN PLAIN WORDS that he did not prophesy concerning 1977.
It is something he thought and came to a conclusion of after some study. Remember, God’s word is not of MAYBEs it is plain and solid.
So saying he prophesied is wrong.
When God told him to go west, it was a vision.what did Branham say about it.
He said he thinks he is going to die.
It was only much later that he realized what God was intending.
A prophet can speculate about a vision. But there is no need to take it as thus saith the Lord.
You can only take it as such when the prophet receives divine interpretation of the word of God.
Jesus opened th seals. Not Branham. He opened them to the church by revealing it to his servant. his servant then brought it to the church.
It is as simple as that.
Also just to add, Bro Branham said take everything he preaches to the Word of God. if it does not run through the bible then its not thus saith the Lord.
On the trinity all I can say is,
Is the Holy spirit in you?
yet you pray saying Holy Spirit “rain down”
that he is in your brother, does that make him two people or the same person manifesting himself in two different people?
God once appeared in a burning bush.
Later as an angel to Abraham,….as a man walking and eating. He appeared in a whirlwind.
what is God. A spirit worknig in whatever he pleases. taking on whatever fornm seems best.
does that make him many?
No!
In heaven he decided to manifest himself as a father, and as a son, and as the holy spirit.
the same one showing forth himself differently.
Read revelation.
How many are seated on the throne?
where is the lamb?
where is the father.
great is the mystery of godliness.
thebible has been made plain.
God sent his Prophet, then now what he preached is being made sence to via the five fold ministry.
to all aout there, I ask you to investigate the teachings of Apostle Edgar Hill Roscoe.
Themessage of William Branham is made clear and plain.
In reply to some of what I read….. If we study our Bibles..and pray for leadership..God will lead us to the relevant Truth for our day.
In every age God has had His Servants and Messengers…They were always rejected by the majority. In Amos 3:7. the Bible says God will do nothing except He reveals it to His prophets. Why is our age different from any other age? Study your history….We had saints, sages and prophets…reformers too, all down through the centuries and after Christ, as well. No one can deny the works of Martin Luther, John Wesley, Zwingley, Calvin, Dwight Moody, Paul the Apostle, Polycarp and on and on.
Let’s talk about Moses..In spite of all the miracles and visible acts of God there were still unbelievers and agnostics, even among his following in the wilderness. God never did forgive them for going against His Anointed one.
How about Noah…only his family followed him into the ark and of course his God’s creation….the animals… out of an entire generation….everyone and everything else perished.
How about Elijah? Only Elisha followed him across the Jordan. The ‘sons of the prophets’ knew he was going to be taken up, but did they follow him?
Bro Branham came, delivered a Message and when It was done God took him off the scene. No one is expected to just take his or anyone’s Message without first praying and studying, but for your soul’s sake take it seriously until you are sure that it’s not for you.
What if he is the equivalent of Moses or Elijah or Noah?
I have been believing this Message for 37 years. I have at times been overzealous and got ahead of myself and I am to be blamed for my own foolishness. But I can never say I have found fault with one Word of this Prophet’s Message.
I believe that God allows man to say things to test people’s faith. Many times I would read something and question it….then go and read something somewhere else which would answer my question. This even happens with the Bible. But God deliberately wrote His Word like a puzzle….It’s for ‘babes such as will learn’. It’s ‘line upon line, here a little, there a little’. Keep reading prayerfully and respectfully and you will get the answers.
Bro Branham preached hundreds and hundreds of Messages. If you want to find some fault I am sure you could find something to satisfy your appetite, but if you are looking for healing, salvation, comfort, true Bible doctrine and a Word to fight the devil off …. believe me there is more than you can dream of.
Bro Branham was against denominational systems, and who could sanely blame him for this? Look what they have produced….They modify the Word of God and put their own interpretations according to their different tastes and there is no difference between how they live from how the world lives, when the Bible clearly states that we are bought with a price and we should be a purified and peculiar people…Titus 2:14
They say they believe the Bible…what about First Corinthians 11, Deuteronomy 22:5. You can marry as many times as you so like, you can drink, smoke, cuss, as long as you belong to church and pay up.
Bro Branham was a Man sent from God for this age to bring us back to the Faith of our Apostolic Fathers…..Malachi 4…He is the one fulfilling Revelations 10-7, Matthew 11:17, Luke 17:30…and a host of other witnesses in the Scripture.
God forbid that I or anyone worship Bro Branham as God…but it is quite easy to see how some who are not balanced in the Scriptures would want to do so. There is no record anywhere since the days of Christ of any one that God used like He did and still does use Bro Branham. Thousands upon thousands were touched and many are still being touched one way or the other by His Ministry. His Ministry is thoroughly Bible vindicated, vindicated by sign and wonders, photographic evidence, a life of humility, not preaching for fame or money…his preaching straight from the Bible and with an eight grade education had followers from every walk of life…theologians and all.. I just received healing two weeks ago from a sinus condition while listening to one of his Messages, and that is just one of dozens of times.. I can seriously write a book.
Check his prophecies….They all have come to pass except the end of time fulfillment. Bro Billy Paul is certainly getting older, but who knows it could be any day….It was prophesied for the children of Israel to be in Egypt four hundred years and in actuality they left after 430 years…but they left.
If it takes 100 years I will still believe…I have seen too much already.
May God help all that could be helped is my prayer.
I am out to encourage all who fall under the end time messages that ,WITH this am double sure that all is under JESUS CHRIST .
I personally have live in a unusual live and have encountered supernatural many times. I am 100% Bible believer, as did brother branham.more to that i have been a member of so many major religious groups,catholic,sda,pentecostals many, many for a pereod of 17 yrs, up to untill i met this true gospel with asurprise.
IF ANY ONE THINKS HIMSELF/HERSELF TO AMONG THE THE CHOSEN FEW, SEEK FROM GOD,EARNESTRY,
thanks to you all

All I know is one couple who are follwers off william branham the wife has to wear her hair long in a braid not permitted to cut it, and a dress or skirt always. the husband is stern and has even been seen beating on a family member.
Friends,
Please undestand one thing; God vindicates His Own Word and that is exactly what He did in the ministry of Elijah of our day, Mal 4:5-6, Brother William Marrion Branham. If you are a child of God, I will advise you rather to keep quiet if something is not revealed unto you. All the teachings of Brother Branham are fully backed up by the Word of God and if is not revealed to you don’t jump into conclusion before you do a proper Scriptural Research. Brother Branham said, the word TRINITY is not even in the Bible, ;what is wrong with that statement? You can only accuse him if you find that word Trinity in the Bible.
The 1977 prediction, don’t pick and choose what will make people who did not know what the prophet said to believe your story my brother. The prophet clearly said it is a PREDICTION, he never said it is a PROPHECY. He indicated it is from HIM not from the LORD – a prediction. Whenever he was prophesying he would say “THUS SAITH THE LORD” and my brother if you are a true christian you can do all the research in the prophecies, they all came to pass, if some are left they are very few and I fully believe THUS SAITH THE LORD never fails.
Let us be christian enough to protect the truth.
The seals, the prophet many times indicated that “we are waiting for the LAMB to caome and reveal the seals”. He never claimed he revealed the seals himself but gave all the Glory to the LAMB. The Message that he preached can bring a true christian life to a believer even in this evil generation.
God bless you christians and let’s not allow Satan to distort any Truth that God has proved in our day.
Please Lord send us more Branham’s who will go the extra mile with you! If he missed his way toward the end, that has happened in Scripture among some of your great servants. Please give us more like him, even if they too are human and apt to fail and be flawed. Cleanse us, call us, anoint us, separate us to yourself and use us in some way even close to the way you used that great saint. Thank you Jesus!
Jim
all i can say is im proud to be identified with god”s message that he delivered to us through the vessel called william branham, i think the problem all u critics have is, u jus cant accept the fact that god used a MAN so mightily, but what else could he use, after all, he made us in HIS image! im yet to find a fault with this message, AND IM RESTING ON IT! and jus to make it clear, the true believers of this message knows that bro branham was not god neither do we worship him, he was jus a tool in gods hand to deliver a message, as our prophet always said,’ im your humble servant, your brother’ he never said he was god..
Please Lord send us more Branham’s who will go the extra mile with you! If he missed his way toward the end, that has happened in Scripture among some of your great servants. Please give us more like him, even if they too are human and apt to fail and be flawed. Cleanse us, call us, anoint us, separate us to yourself and use us in some way even close to the way you used that great saint. Thank you Jesus!

i dont worship the man (1,2,3 dimensions), i worship God ( 7th dimension) in a man, called william branham. just to remind everyone Numbers 12, what happened to mirriam ,when God heard her spake against His servant. leprosy is a type of sin. and lastly, read Acts 3:21-23 for this was the prophesy fulfiled in the ministry of Bro Branham and the serious thing you must know before you reject the Message of the hour.- bro art
to all those critics of WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM, i just want to say one thing — i as one of the few strongly believes in the ministry of William Branham, he was indeed God’s chosen prophet to this day and age — LET ME SAY THIS AND SAY IT GOOD — ANYONE THAT COMES AGAINST THE MINISTRY OF WILLIAM MARRION BRANHAM HAS COME AGAINST GOD AND WILL PERISH — you people all think that you are so great studying all what you have — BRO BRANHAM was a humble servant of GOd he never exalted himself and always was obedient to the voice of GOD — IF ANY MAN CAN OPEN THE BIBLE AND SHOW US WHERE THE WORD TRINITY APPEARS WE WOULD LIKE TO SEE YOU — I WOULD LIKE YOU TO OPEN THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE AND SHOW US WHERE ANYONE WAS EVER BAPTIZED FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST — IF YOU CAN PROVE THAT THE WE WILL SAY THAT HE IS A FALSE PROPHET BUT IF YOU CANNOT — THEN YOU ARE WAISTING YOU TIME YOU NEED TO GET BAPTIZED THE CORRECT WAY … MY give us a call on 0842885722 (+27842885722) my email is meshachpillay@gmail.com, i will get my pastor to havfe a work with you fools…….
Br Branham is the man send by God for this generation. If you do not believe him, they disbelieved even Christ. Also, give yourself time to learn about him and his words do not rely on hearing it from others and I think you may understand the vision. Mainly people reject him because they love their immoral ways than God’s ways and that is what the spirit of Elijah was able to fight against. The church still wants to cling to their evil ways and God is giving them leaders just like they want for their own destruction.
O man you are inexecusable. It is Shame that we are still debating whether Bro Branham was a true Prophet or not, Even those like Gordon Linsey who had the previllege to work with him out of envy or foolishness had to go back when the omnipotence began his mean work in Branham’s life. Exactly as it was in Jesus’ time, they came saw the miracles, eat bread and fishes but rejcted the word whenit began to thunder out. Jesus pulled crowd at the begining of his ministry with great miracle and healing campign but just before his ministry ended how many were around?
Even at upper room only 120 strong believers. Why don’t people see? William Branham’s ministry was just the Lord himself speaking through a human instrumentality. That’s the only wy for the Gospel, and that was why the LOrd Jesus opened those seals but had to show them to us through a human vessel. Which other way would God ad opened them. God uses a man nd satan does likewise. O people wake up, it’s later than you think. If you rejected this, you certainly would have rejected Jesus of Nazareth, if you were there. As for the so called doctrinal errors of Branham, you’re simply blind and bound because you are not born again, No man with the Holy Ghost can reject such (Branham’s Holy Ghost dectated teachings), I suggest you examine yourself.
As for 1977, yes it was a prediction that failed, but it was not a prophesy. All God’s masterpieces had a flaw that showed they were men and not God. That was Bro brannham’s flaw, otherwise we may as well be execused to regard him as God. All messengers of God had each thought that Jesus was going to return in his day and preached and lived like that, Bro branham also felt that way. We are also feeling that way today. Supposing Jesus does not come in our day would that make us false belivers. My brother you are in error with your pentecostal friends you mentioned associated with Branham. Run for Mercy while it is within reach. For very soon it will be “let him that’s holy be holy still, and him that’s filty be filty still.
God bless all true believer worshippers of King Lamb here.
God bless you all.i don’t really hv much to say.my prayer is that God pls make me to be humble like ur servant.
Hi Guys,
The claims that Branham fell into error are often repeated, and unfortunately not based in any actual facts. Paul Keith Davis and Steven Shelley have listened through every one of Branham’s sermons at LEAST twice each, and they explain many of the above-mentioned claims of error and show the misconceptions and outright fallacies that have been publicised. Shelley’s comment was: “we have a lot of lazy authors….” “who don’t do their research…”
Branham was not “oneness” in the sense described above – he was reacting to the Trinitarians of the day – a mega-extreme interpretation I had never before heard about.
His statement about the “Age” ending in 1977 can be interpreted various ways: he never implied this referred to “judgment day” or the rapture, which many seem to think.
We are talking about a guy who got his revelation direct from God. One time the Pillar of Cloud came into the room and drew his explanatory diagram on the back wall – in full view of the 400+ crowd!

Having read some comments about this age and the end time messenger, I’d just like to remind you of our Lord and Saviour Jesus’ statement.
Even though all through the old Testament down to the early John the Baptist, it was spoken of Him (Jesus), but no one knew Him except those He opened their understanding of who He was, they called Him devil. And He(Jesus) said, “no servant is greater than his master”. If the master was called devil, it won’t be a surprise that the servant is called a deceiver or what ever name they would wish to call him.
Knowing Christ, is not by studying the Bible but by revelation. Jesus said, “blood and flesh did not reveal you, but my Father”. Believing WM.Branham as Mal.4, Rev.10:7, Luke 17:30 will never be by studying the Bible or by Theology just as the rabis did and missed the Messiah they longed to welcome in their synagogues, but revelation. I believe God and welcome His messenger by revelation.
You go on your knees and ask God for His revelation.
Talking about the Angel; Angel means “Messenger, teacher etc.” why should you scholars get confused about God being an Angel when the Bible testifies on several times about Him being a person. Melechesedek was an Angel who was sent by Himself to meet Abraham after his victory and Abraham gave Him his one tenth of his reward. That was God in form of a man. He again visited Abraham and gave him a promise and discerned the thought of Sarah in the tent, Angel (Man) that was God in a man a messenger from Himself to Abraham. He again visited the world as a man (Jesus) still an Angel messenger from Himself.
In the book of Revelation God appeared to John the revelator as an Angel and swore by Himself. That was God. He is the same God yesterday, today and forever. In this End Time, He has sent Himself to us in the same manner He sent Himself back yonder, this time in men(the Holy Ghost), still the Angel.
So William M. Branham when he said he could do nothing except by the Angel, why should you be confused? Who can heal the sick, raise the dead and discern the thought man? No one but God himself (The Angel of the Lord) He comes down as a messenger (the Holy Ghost) and does it. Where is He found to do it? In human body.
So the Angel of the Lord walked and worked with WM.Branham in various forms to fulfil His promise for the Bride in this End Time. AMEN.
Besides, WMB never persuaded anyone to come to his church and believe the message that was given to him by the Angel of the Lord for the Bride and for this old world. I believed it by revelation by God’s grace.
Talking about the prophecy about California, he never said the whole of it, but the portion he stood on with Bill his son. Now go check whether sharks are not swimming in there.
no becouse there is know 8th messenger spoken of in scriptre . man cant decide these things prophets like br branham malicai ch 4 v 5-6 . he restored us bach to the origional doctrine st paul god vindicated it in pauls time in the form of the piller of fire paul was a great word prophet . you see even peter bowed before thus saith the lord saying that witch paul says is difficult to understand never the less we must except them now get peter words here he we take what paul says as from the lord prophet vindicate just like duet ch 18 says . br branham was just like samuel her never begged a dime from the people god never let one of his words fall to the ground . and the pentecostal denomonations for the love of money popular , and fooled in to thinking big churches is what god wants . in the great apostle pauls church the st john took over there were only 12 people got to love it lol . gods not in hollywood style churches hes is in his living word as he has been in each church age . listen to what the spirit saith into the church not some some glory tv false prophet . and the prpphet is correct god interprets his own word by bringing it to pass . for instance let their be light he said i bet today they would form a million denomonations around those words but to bad for them light was elohim interpreted his own word by bringing it to pass . god his sovrigon and man does not tell him what to do . im sorry modern day pentecostal churches are all hat and no cattle becouse the life has moved on . soon the bride will be gone and the foolish virgin will be left in the hreat tribulation were there is weeping an nashing of teeth yjats not hell thats the great tribulation . enoch the bride see and noah the foolish virgin through the great tribulation . they are fine they come up in the genral resirection no probs for them . father says they have been through enough . anyway thats a bit to chew on for a while . may the god and father of our lord jesus christ bless you and open your eyes to scripture bye revelation like pter had thor art the christ jesus say blessed art thou simon peter flesh and blood did not reveal this to you but my father in jeaven . peter got a dive revelation from the spirit og god and thats the fath that commeth by hearing and hearing by the word . fath is a revelation not a mental work up. remember people its god givith a man power to get wealth not some positive thinking course wate till the rich man weeps and howels pretty soon . as christians we should read our bible were cursed for the way we treat the poor , we have been treating like the rich young ruler treated the begger . who got to heaven ? money is know say so from god he is blessing a man now money and gods charactor as in his word thats diffrent . the way up in gods kingdom is down first humble your self god will bring you up in due time . thats the way up is down total oposite to the world . amen .BR SISTER THEIR IS ONLY ONE BIG SHOT AND THATS JESUS IN GODS KINGDOM PRAISE THE LORD .
Talking about the Angel; Angel means “Messenger, teacher etc.” why should you scholars get confused about God being an Angel when the Bible testifies on several times about Him being a person. HEBREWS 7:1-4, Melchizedek was an Angel who was sent by Himself to meet Abraham after his victory and Abraham gave Him his one tenth of his reward. That was God in form of a man. GENESIS 18:1-3, 10-14, He again visited Abraham and gave him a promise and discerned the thought of Sarah in the tent, Angel (Man) that was God in a man a messenger from Himself to Abraham. He again visited the world as a man (Jesus) still an Angel messenger from Himself.
In the book of Revelation God appeared to John the revelator as an Angel and swore by Himself. That was God. HEBREWS 13:8 He is the same God yesterday, today and forever. In this End Time, He has sent Himself to us in the same manner He sent Himself back yonder, this time in men JOHN 12:24, 14:17 (the Holy Ghost in men), still the Angel.

May the God Of peace continue to open the understanding of his own people

AMEN .
Brother Branham wrote and said that the prophet Elijah will be misunderstood. He goes on to say that the word of God calls for total separation from unbelief. Isnt that true? Its well known that the devil that hindered Adam and Eve from eating from the tree of life is now trying to prevent the elect from eating from the tree of life. God’s time is the best. Intellectual endowment, arguement and criticism to the word of God will make you miss. The Jews missed Him because they doubted Him. And that gave us a chance of salvation as Gentiles. God hides in simplicity. We know God had a message to this age and He used Bro. Branham to relay the message. Its us to believe or reject. Those who reject have chosen their way. Even Jesus was rejected. John was rejected. Elijah was rejected. Miriam, Aaron, Jambres and others despised Moses. So rejection to the word of God is common, because the word is for the elect. They alone have that power and internal ears to hear. So I believe that Bro Branham was a prohet of God. Please read all messages by him, pray over the Word and revelation will help you understand. The word is Jesus Christ, who is God.
Mr penti;;;;;; my prayer to God for you is that your eye be open to see with light of your day , No amount of ridicule you can bring upon Gods servant now for you have come too late even with what you wrote many have come to know the Lord trough him even as you say he dead , In my area in Africa where there is no electricity some brethren wanted to hear the voice to there age the light of God radite over the tape playing the voice .thank you for helping the ministry to grow and for us to know the make believers around us ,shalom to all my brethren
Too late satan, the Bride church knows and understand her day and message. God bless you my brethren for standing for what you believe. Mr publisher, all I can say to you is, hit the Alter.
