William Branham's Eight Visions of 1933
William Branham tells of a series of visions in June 1933 that would transpire before the coming of the Lord.[1]. William Branham was very bold with these prophecies, claiming that the visions would be accurate "to the dot" and were "Thus Saith The Lord".[2]. 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).
| Prophecy | First Date | Timing | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| *1 - Franklin Roosevelt | Get | After the fact | WMB falsely stated that it was fulfilled |
| 2 - Mussolini Invades Ethiopia | Get | After the fact | WMB falsely stated that it was fulfilled |
| 3 - Hitler and WWII | Get | After the fact | WMB falsely stated that it was fulfilled |
| 4 - Three Isms | Get | After the fact | WMB falsely stated that it was fulfilled |
| 5 - Driverless Cars | Get | After the fact | WMB falsely stated that it was fulfilled |

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[3]; however, the contents of this book were never released to the public. It is our understanding that this book was "lost" after it was lent to someone after William Branham's death. However, others have speculated that it was intentionally destroyed because its contents did not support the claims that William Branham made.
- Now, in 1933 when we were worshipping over here in the Masonic temple where the Church of Christ stands today, on one April morning before leaving home, I was dedicating my--a car (I got a '33 model car, and I was dedicating it to the Lord's service.), and in a vision I saw the end time. 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.[4]
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.
