| During his life, William Branham claimed to have a number of visions and prophecies. This article contains all of William Branham's major prophecies and visions, the first date that they were told by William Branham and whether they were fulfilled or failed. The big question is - [[Proof of the Prophetic|Did William Branham make any '''REAL''' prophecies?]]
| | =Prophecies & Visions= |
|
| |
|
| We have also indicated whether the prophecy was "before the fact" or "after the fact." If the first telling of a prophecy or vision occurred after the prophecied event had taken place, this would be considered an '''"after the fact" prophecy'''. In order to be classified as a true prophecy, the prophecy must be publicly recorded '''"before the fact", that is before the fulfillment of the prophecy occurs'''.

| William Branham tells of a series of visions in June 1933 that would transpire before the coming of the Lord.<ref>An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, William Marrion Branham, Chapter 9</ref>. William Branham was very bold with these prophecies, claiming that the visions would be accurate "to the dot" and were "Thus Saith The Lord".<ref>Once More, November 17,1963</ref>. While he states that there were seven visions, he initially relates an eighth vision relating to President Roosevelt (we assume that he dropped the eighth vision because seven is a lot more prophetic number). | | =Other Resources= |

| William Branham's recorded sermons are the only source as to the accuracy and timing of these visions. However, William Branham often included facts when describing these prophecies that are historically inaccurate. William Branham stated that he kept a book of his prophecies<ref> Souls That are in Prison Now, November 10, 1963</ref>; however, the contents of this book were never released to the public. It is our understanding that the Branham family has stated that this book has been "lost". However, others have speculated that it was intentionally destroyed because its contents did not support the claims that William Branham made.

Now, notice how striking this is. Back yonder when I was just a boy, and you can imagine what a 1933 model car looked like--now, what it looked like. And I went over there to the Masonic temple where... Some of you old-timers in here remembers; '''it's wrote down on an old paper at home. It's already in print and went out around the world.''' See? That was in 1933. And I predicted that there would be some great tragedy happen to this United States before or by the year of 1977. How many remembers me saying that? Look at the hands. Sure.<ref>SEVENTY.WEEKS.OF.DANIEL_ JEFF.IN DA 89-141 SUNDAY_ 61-0806</ref>

| We have been unable to locate a copy of the print version of the 1933 prophecies and many speculate that it, in fact, never existed.
