| | William Branham tells of a series of visions in June 1933 that would transpire before the coming of the Lord.<ref>An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages, William Marrion Branham, Chapter 9</ref>. William Branham was very bold with these prophecies, claiming that the visions would be accurate "to the dot" and were "Thus Saith The Lord".<ref>Once More, November 17,1963</ref>. While he states that there were seven visions, he initially relates an eighth vision relating to President Roosevelt which we have included here for completeness: |

| | William Branham's recorded sermons are the only source as to the accuracy and timing of these visions. However, William Branham often included facts when describing these prophecies that are historically inaccurate. William Branham stated that he kept a book of his prophecies<ref> Souls That are in Prison Now, November 10, 1963</ref>; however, the contents of this book were never released to the public. It is our understanding that this book was "lost" after it was lent to someone after William Branham's death. However, others have speculated that it was intentionally destroyed because its contents did not support the claims that William Branham made. |

|
| William Marrion Branham was a Christian minister whose healing ministry skyrocketed him from a rural pastor to an international evangelist. His controversial teachings caused division in churches, particularly in the latter stages of his ministry,and opinions of his legacy are divided into three main categories:
| | :''Now, in 1933 when we were worshipping over here in the Masonic temple where the Church of Christ stands today, on one April morning before leaving home, I was dedicating my--a car (I got a '33 model car, and I was dedicating it to the Lord's service.), and in a vision I saw the end time. Now, notice how striking this is. Back yonder when I was just a boy, and you can imagine what a 1933 model car looked like--now, what it looked like. And I went over there to the Masonic temple where... Some of you old-timers in here remembers; '''it's wrote down on an old paper at home. It's already in print and went out around the world.''' See? That was in 1933. And I predicted that there would be some great tragedy happen to this United States before or by the year of 1977. How many remembers me saying that? Look at the hands. Sure.<ref>SEVENTY.WEEKS.OF.DANIEL_ JEFF.IN DA 89-141 SUNDAY_ 61-0806</ref> |
|
| |
|
| 1) Some believe him to be a major prophet of God. There are two main groups of followers, although both believe his teachings to be inspired by God and consider him to be Elijah the Prophet in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5. The first group views him as an infallible prophet who never made a mistake. The second group accepts that he made mistakes, but holds that his "Thus Saith The Lord" teachings are infallible.
| | We have been unable to locate a copy of the print version of the 1933 prophecies and many speculate that it, in fact, never existed. |
|
| |
|
| 2) Many in the Pentecostal and charismatic movements see him as one of the leaders of the healing revival during the 1940's and 1950's, but also view him as a man whose ministry left Christian orthodoxy in its latter stages.
| |
|
| |
|
| 3) Others view him as a charlatan who deceived people, holding himself forth as a something that he was not. People in this group often deny that he had a true gift of healing.
