    Brother Branham talked about out there in Colorado that mother Eagle said he was watching him through binoculars listen I watched that old mother Eagle she brought her little ones from their nest and on her wings and she set them that into a grassy pasture and then he  said she flew back up on high and set on the clip of a rock the highest peak that  she could find and she sat down and  begin to watch and he said I was looking  at her and then I looked over at the  little ones her little Eagles this is  my they were having a Pentecostal  revival they were jumping over one  another they were chirping they were  fought for what little wings they had  they were just having a time home that  soft grass just - oh just a revival  jumping all that kind of church I like to  go to amen not one of these morgues  you know but we're people we just get  happy in the Lord amen the why were they  acting like that because they knew that  mama was up there watching over them  they knew they were under her eyes they  wasn't worried about a coyote they  wasn't worried about a hawk they wasn't  worried about a storm they was a word  about a virus they were under her  protection she was watching he said with  that great majestic head looking all  around there's an all-seeing eye watching you watching me amen she was on the  highest rock just watching looking  around they wasn’t looking around they wasn’t out there playing nervously just  jump a little bit just looking around they was just out there having a  revival they was just out there singing  and clapping and praising God because  they knew she was watching over them who  were under her protection he said after a while he said I seen her raise up her hand  said I looked through the binoculars I  thought what is it since you begin to  sniff the air  she was looking around he saw what is it  he said all it was over in the north  the Thunder begin to roar it was a  northern storm coming up and when she  caught wind of that storm the Prophet  said she let out a scream and down  through there she went and thrown forth those big wings right on that  grass prairie and said every one of  those little Eagles they ran over will  real quick they were instructed perhaps  before leaving the nest each one found  their place Amen it stuck that this is  your place this is who you are you  belong to me that's your place nobody  can take your place each of them found  their place and hooked that beak the Prophet said into that feather that  you couldn't pull out with a pair of  pliers throw the little mouth down said she raised that bunch of eagles up  on her wings and went riding straight  into that piercing wind blowing nearly 50  mile an hour right into the cleft of  the rock he said I cried like a baby he  said I thought some glorious day he'll  come for glory when the revivals over  stretch forth his wings  we'll ride out together under his  wings and he'll lift us away into glory  he'll lift us away in the glory covered  with his feathers  - DW March 22, 2020

    The belief that an eagle can carry its young on its wings is unique to followers of William Branham. Eagles do not have this ability and it is common knowledge. Just in a few minutes of doing google searches, many web sites can be found that give in-depth information on eagles. An example would be https://journeynorth.org/eagle/
     
     
     
     
    So why is a highly respected minister in the message repeating this story? An obvious lie.
     
     
    What is the Minister's biblical responsibility for the correctness of the content of his speech before speaking?
    What is the biblical responsibility of a listener who knows this story is false?
    What is the biblical responsibility of the Minister to correct falsehoods in their speech after speaking it?
     
    Is a falsehood portrayed as truth acceptable if people feel blessed by it?
    Does the Bible teach that using Myth stories is a good way to build faith in the Lord Jesus?

    '''We agree prophecies should be tested per the scriptures.'''
     
    1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 states:
    ''Don’t despise prophecies, but test all things. Hold on to what is good.''<ref>Holman Christian Standard Bible</ref>
     
     
    '''How does William Branham's prophecy of the Brown Bear fair when passed through D
    DR's test?'''<ref>http://believethesign.com/index.php?title=The_Brown_Bear_Vision</ref>
     
     
    '''DR's test can be summarized in three questions.'''
     
    1) Is the person prophesying?
     
    2) Has sufficient time been given for it to come to pass?
     
    3) Did it come to pass as prophecied?
     
     
    '''DR's test would evaluate William Branham's Brown Bear prophecy with these three questions:'''
     
    1) Did William Branham prophesy he would get a Brown Bear? Yes
     
    2) Was time given for the prophecy to come to pass? Yes
    3) Did the prophecy come to pass? No
     
     
    '''Summary'''
     
    DR makes it clear in his statement what his test is for prophesying. DR's test, when used for the Brown Bear prophecy, results in a verdict that William Branham had a lying spirit on him when he made the prophecy.
     
     
     
    '''Conclusion'''
     
    DR does not evaluate William Branham's prophecies with the same standard he does for everyone else or he would have to declare William Braham had a lying spirit on him when he spoke the Brown Bear prophecy.
