Does DR evaluate William Branham's prophecies with the same standard he does for everyone else?
DR states his test for prophecy in this quote.
“Now when people come to me with dreams or visions or prophecy or whatever more I'll lay it up I'll give them the amount of time if they designate a certain amount of time well within six months this so this will happen or nine months or a year whatever generally I'm a man of grace if they say a year I'll give them a year three a year six you know you're in six months or something like that but if it don't come to pass I am going to confront them and tell them they got a lying spirit on them because God don't lie.”[1]

William Branham's False Eagle Story repeated as truth March 22, 2020
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.[2]
How does William Branham's prophecy of the Brown Bear fair when passed through D
DR's test?[3]
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.
