| The Rock Where Moses Stood. William Branham apparently believed that God supernaturally moved the rock that Moses stood on in the desert of Sinai to the Arizona desert sometime in 1964. This is evidence of some of the bizarre beliefs that he held.

In 1965 William Branham said that the world was square, because the Revelation 7:1 talks about the "four corners" of the world. we would have disregarded this as a "human error".
