 Donny Reagan of Johnson City, Tennessee continues to be involved in bad research:
-…
-William Branham mentions on numerous occasions that HE PERSONALLY SAW the Latin phrase “Vicarius Filii Dei” above the throne of the pope in Rome.  The original Latin word Vicarius means a representative or deputy.  It is where we get the word “vice-president” from.
+:''“Notice in other words, up over the Vatican (now have been right there), it's wrote “Vicarius Filii Dei”.  And it's wrote in roman numerals. Now if you take Vicarius Filii Dei and draw the line, the roman numerals, V for five and I for one, add it up and see if you haven't got 666. now it's been talked about, it's been believed, it's been pretty much accepted by a very great large margin of even Christians. Now Vicarius Filii Dei has been written there in the symbolism of Rome for hundreds and hundreds of years.  Adam Clarke, Coke, Ellicott, many of those men wrote about it in the 1500s, the 1600s, the 1700s, and called it the Popish church and called rome the mother whore.”
+William Branham mentions on numerous occasions that HE PERSONALLY SAW the Latin phrase “Vicarius Filii Dei” above the throne of the pope in Rome.
+:''“Been right there and seen it myself, would know, up over his place (his throne, as it was) like they set the first Boniface up, the III, up at the beginning of the Catholic age here. And up over there it’s Vicarivs Filii Dei, which means “a vicar of the Son of God.””<ref>60-1211M, para. 234</ref>
 But William Branham never saw the Latin Phrase “Vicarius Filii Dei” when he was in Rome.  He was not telling the truth.
 William Branham mentions several times that he read the books of Uriah Smith, a seventh day Adventist author.  Smith states, in at least 2 of his books, that the Latin phrase was engraved on the papal miter or pontifical crown and details how to calculate the number 666 from the phrase.
 However, Uriah Smith admitted that he never saw the phrase himself and acknowledged that it first appeared in a forged document, The Donation of Constantine, which was created sometime in the 8th century.
-What we know is that the phrase has never been an official title of the pope, has never been carved above the papal throne and has never been engraved on a papal miter, crown, or tiara.  Donny Reagan sounds like he has done his research when he says that his assertions are commonly accepted as facts.  He even references Adam Clarke, who died in 1832, and Charles Ellicott, who died in 1905.  The problem is that he is ignorant of the research done in the past 75 years which completely debunked the claim.

 The Seventh Day Adventist church publicly acknowledged Uriah Smith’s error in 1948:
-…
+:''Personal examination of these various tiaras by different men back through the years, and the scrutiny of the pictures of many more, have failed to disclose one engraved with the inscription “Vicarius Filii Dei”.
 They also admitted that an artist faked a photograph of a tiara so that it appeared to bear the Latin inscription and that the Seventh Day Adventist Church would not be party to such fraud.
-Sadly, message ministers do not appear to love the truth as much as those in the Seventh Day Adventist church.  Even when confronted with clear evidence, message ministers cannot admit that William Branham made up this story.  To do so, might cost them some of their followers.  And that would mean their incomes would suffer.

 Why did William Branham make up this story of seeing the inscription in Rome?  We don’t know.  But he was certainly aware that his followers  would never question him.
 Did you know that you can also get 666 from the name of the Caesar Nero who killed Peter and Paul?
 Don’t believe me… or any message minister…  about these things, be like the Bereans and do the research yourself.
