The Box Canyon - The Campsite near Sunset

He said, "What do you mean, Brother Branham?"

I said, "Don't talk. Get under something, quick." And I turned and picked up a shovel, there by the side of the place, and walked off from them, 'cause I knew it would come where I was at.

Everybody running, and trying to get under trucks and everything else. It went back up again and clapped like a great thunder, went back up in the skies again, and come down again, and done that three times. And when it was all over, they come over and asked, "What did it mean?"
