Racial Violence in America
William Branham said that the protests led by Martin Luther King, Jr. against segregation would cause the death of millions. But it didn't.
William Branham's first Pastor, Rev. Roy E. Davis, was heavily involved with the K.K.K. Perhaps William Branham shared some of this sentiment. If not, his prophecy was still wrong.
Quotes of William Branham
Long time ago... I was just looking around over the audience to see if I could see one of the people, and that's some of our colored friends, the Negro. You know, a long time ago, down here in the south, they used to make slaves out of them. Now, I'm a southerner. And there's one thing I'd like to say about them; I wish I could talk to Martin Luther King. That man, being a Christian, don't know he's leading his people right into a death trap, where there's going to be millions of them killed. See? He's wrong. I love my brethren, my colored brethren. I wouldn't be in Africa and around preaching to them, if I didn't love them. They're God's people, the same as we are. But I don't believe that that man under this, is only going to cause many, many, many more of them to be killed. Then it'll start a revolutionary again, that'll never wade out of the people down here. So they're not slaves. They have as much freedom as anybody else. They... If they were slaves, I'd be on that side. But they're not slaves. It's just because they want to go to school. They got schools. Let them go to school. That's right.[1]
One thing, I pray that Brother Martin Luther King will certainly soon wake up. He loves his people; there's no doubt. But if he only--see where his inspiration... What good would it do if you went to school and a million of you laying yonder dead? Would it just be going to school just the same? Now, if for hunger, if it was for something another, slaves, the man would be a martyr to give his life for such a cause, a worthy cause; and that would be a worthy cause. But just to go to school, I--I don't see it. I don't think the Holy Spirit's agreeing with him at all on that. It's got the people all worked up in a bunch of ballyhoo. You see? Just--just like Hitler did over in Germany, led them right into a death trap, them precious Germans; and they laid by the billions, or millions, piled up there on top of one another. That's exactly the same thing, and remember I'm on tape; you'll see it after--maybe after I'm gone. That's exactly what's going to happen. Them precious people will die down there like flies. Starts a revolutionary, both white and colored will fight again and die like flies. And what you got when it's all over? A bunch of dead people.[2]
As I said about that minister last Sunday, was Martin Luther King down there with them precious people, leading right into a death trap. Oh, if somebody could only talk to that man. Wished I could. Just for an--a little uprising of the school proposition (See?), or some... What difference. My goodness, if the people ain't got heart enough to associate with a man because of his color, they're condemned and dead anyhow. The nation gives them right... Don't fight against it. Don't... What if somebody said all the Irish, or somebody, all the German, or somebody else had to disassociate. That would never bother Christians; they'd move right on. And that man's a Christian. As--as a minister he shouldn't lead them people into a revolt against that. And they're going to cause millions to die. It'll start another revolutionary. It's a shame to do that. The same thing happens right here. Exactly the same thing again. That's right. See? The people, how that they'd only look at Truth and see what Truth is... "Our church don't believe that. We got some other way." Well, it ain't the right way. It ain't the thing. He said, "Repent, and be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins." Now, they won't do it. Oh, then what did they do? Now, that's just one thing upon hundreds we'll get to, maybe, as fast as we can. Now, the second crucifixion then... If a man accepts "Father, Son, and Holy Spirit," a--a creed in the stead of the Word, titles instead of the Name, what does he do to the people? He crucifies the effects of the Word to the people.[3]
