==Physical evidences of the third pull== | |||
There appear to be only 5 times that William Branham actually had what he referred to as the "third pull" | |||
#Squirrels created (first mentioned in 1959) | |||
#Salvation of Hattie Wright's sons (first mentioned in 1959) | |||
#Fish coming back to life (first mentioned in 1957) | |||
#Snow storm calmed (first mentioned in 1963) | |||
#His wife's tumor is healed (first mentioned in 1963) | |||
It is strange that there were only 5 incidences and none of them were witnessed by more than a few people (and some had no witnesses at all). | |||

==The Tent Vision Failure== | |||
Despite these stories, what is missing is the fulfillment of the Tent Vision - the final scene in the vision of the Third Pull. Until the end of his ministry William Branham was saying that the Tent ministry was coming. But it never did. | |||
The point of the third pull was to bring the hurting, sick and lonely to Jesus Christ. Looking back into history, it should be apparent whether William Branham learned how to handle the healing and revealing gifts in order to set the hook for the "third pull". The evidence should be fish on the shore, in line with the part of the vision in which "there were hundreds of people standing around the altar weeping because they had accepted the Lord Jesus. And they were just weeping out loud. And I said, ''"Oh, that's more like it,"''. | |||

The biggest problem with this vision is that William Branham continued to explain it, and his ministry, well into 1964.

In 1962, immediately after retelling the Angel’s instruction not to explain the vision, William Branham said, ''“I feel duty bound, to my church, to say something. You draw your own conclusion.”'''''Why did he continue to do this in direct contravention to what he said was the instruction of the angel?''' | ||

In December 29, 1963 William Branham said “The third pull is here”. However, since Hattie Mosier’s two children were supposedly converted at her word in 1959, the third pull was in operation long before the Church Ages or the Seven Seals were preached. If the third pull relates to the revealing of the seventh seal or the revealing of the mysteries, then why was it in operation before the teaching years of 1960 onward? | In December 29, 1963 William Branham said “The third pull is here”.

The danger with this expectation is that it forgets Jesus' first temptation in the wilderness: when the Devil tempted Jesus to use his supernatural powers to create bread from stones in order to satisfy his own hunger. '''Sadly, this temptation is exactly what message believers are expecting to do in the future. If the tempter came to a message believer with instructions to create bread or squirrels from stones, they would likely give in to the devil in a moment's time - because they would follow William Branham's example and not the example left to them by Jesus Christ, who alone had dominion over the devil's temptations.''' | The danger with this expectation is that it forgets Jesus' first temptation in the wilderness: when the Devil tempted Jesus to use his supernatural powers to create bread from stones in order to satisfy his own hunger.
