| '''William Branham prophecied''' that the Vatican City would be destroyed by Russia in a swift military campaign. Unlike the U.S. aerial bombing of Iraq, the Russian bombing of the Vatican will obliterate the political system of the State, never to be replaced. William Branham also quoted many scriptures confirming the accuracy of this prophecy. | |

|
| | The problem with this prophecy is that the Roman Catholic Church was actually instrumental in the destruction of Communism. The government of Russia no longer has a major problem with the Vatican as the opposition to Christianity has largely disappeared, along with Communism. |

| |''To understand the following scriptures in the context of the destruction of the Vatican, it must be stated that the Roman Catholic Church is identified as "[[Mystery Babylon]]" in the book of Revelation, which was written by John, Jesus' disciple. Mystery Bablyon is not a nice identification, and the Bible says nothing good about this city, or its works. For more information on this subject, see the articles written on the [[Seven Seals]]''

Red Square in Moscow, Russia
William Branham prophecied that the Vatican City and Rome would be destroyed by Communism in a swift military campaign. He later changed his doctrine to say that Romanism would rule the world, not Communism.
The problem with this prophecy is that the Roman Catholic Church was actually instrumental in the destruction of Communism. The government of Russia no longer has a major problem with the Vatican as the opposition to Christianity has largely disappeared, along with Communism.
Quotes of William Branham
Communism will overthrow Rome
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." [1]
And communism will burn the Vatican city. [2]
And the Bible said that God raised up Communism to get revenge upon the nations for what they've done to the children of God. That's exactly right. He said, "And they--they--they give their power and everything to the beast for one hour, and to revenge the people, the... of the blood that they had shed." And when that atomic bomb or whatever it is will strike that Vatican City, and the Roman hierarchy will be no more. [3]
- Question: You have said many times that communism was raised up by God to serve His purpose, as King Nebuchadnezzar. Now where did the--communism fit into the picture that will--it finally--will finally do? How does it wind up? Many scholars believe that in the kingdom of the north, Gog and Magog mentioned in the Scriptures, goes down against Israel in the--in the... (I can't make out just what that is. Yeah. Yeah.) I believe of the--some of the tapes taken, said you said it would finally drop--that--that communism would finally destroy Catholicism or the Vatican by an explosion. Is this right?
