Pearry Green was a friend to William Branham, accompanying him on various hunting trips. He also wrote a book called "The Acts of the Prophet" about William Branham, and Sarah Branham (William Branham's youngest daughter) also published a letter in 1989 naming Pearry Green as a fraud. 
 
==Sharks Swimming in Los Angeles==
Page 119 of the 1993 version of "Acts of the Prophet" by Pearry Green contains the following conversation between Billy Paul Branham and William Branham about the [[Destruction of Los Angeles]]:
 
:Brother Branham turned to Brother Billy Paul and said, ''"Billy, all I can say is that God has told me no different (about Sister Florence)."''  
:After making this statement, he turned to his son and said, ''"Billy, where are you standing?"''
:''"Downtown Los Angeles,"'' Billy Paul replied.
:''"Where are you standing?"'' Queried the prophet.
:''"In front of the May Company, downtown Los Angeles,"'' replied Billy.
:At this Brother Branham made a prophetic statement:
:''"Billy"'' he said, ''"I may not be here, but you won't be an old man until sharks will swim right where we are standing."''
 
=William Branham vouches for Pearry Green=
William Branham said the following about Pearry Green:


:''Brother Green preaches the same thing and Message that I believe in. He's left his home; he's left his people; he's left his church. He was, I believe, he was a district superintendent or something of one of the organizations, and give the whole thing up when he heard This. He left everything that was dear to him also to come to the desert, just to support what God is giving to us now.''

:''I remember that my father was very troubled before we left Tucson for the Jeffersonville meetings where he was to preach “The trail of the serpent” and expose names of the people of this message that were doing wrong including family members. In this tension we left Arizona. The last argument before we left was because my sister Becky wanted to stay in the apartment with her friend Betty Collins. My father never wanted her to stay. Finally he gave in as mother had already agreed and left her there. She gave her word that she would not leave the apartment.''

:''...Later I found out that Rebekah was with Pearry Green and they had a difficult time finding her to let her know about the accident.''
|''For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.'' (Acts 4:20)
 
:''...From the family inheritance I received my share of 55,000 dollars after my mother passed away. The Rev. Pearry Green of Tucson presenting himself nicely as the pastor of the Branham family suggested that I give him 50,000 which he would invest into a travel agency. He said, “From this time you don’t need to worry any more. You can go as missionaries to Guatemala and every month you will receive you’re your support.” I don’t remember exactly whether it was three, four or five times he sent a monthly support. Then he informed me that things did not work out the way he expected, and we didn’t see the rest of the money until this day. But we were not the only ones falling into the trap with him.''
 
:''...When I was about to give birth to another child I asked my brother Joseph to give me 1,500 dollars to cover the hospital expenses, his reply was: “Where do you think I can get this money from?” I went to Rev. Pearry Green and he sent me off with “next to nothing.: My sister Becky took me to the Welfare while living in the house that is just as much mine as hers. We were of course not only disappointed we were upset seeing the luxury the rest of the family and also especially the ministers in this message are enjoying.''
 
:''...All insiders know about the 65,000 dollars Brother Sidney Jackson gave to Rev. Pearry Green who promised to take him as a co-pastor and accommodate him in Tucson. After the passing away of Brother Jackson of course Sister Jackson being left without money she begged Rev. Green and even other brothers approached him in this matter and finally he denies having received the money. I only hope that others who were also cheated will have the courage to come up with their stories and claims.''

[[An Open Letter to Owen Jorgensen|Owen Jorgensen]], the author of ''[[Supernatural: The Life of William Branham]]'', published his books through Tucson Tabernacle, Pearry Green's church.  If Pearry Green is still as bad financially as Sarah Branham writes, Owen would be one to confirm this.  If he is as bad as Sarah makes him out to be, perhaps Owen overlooked Sarah Branham's letter when he did his research on the life story of William Branham.  A little research can sometimes save you a lot of heartache.

Years later I asked him how he knew if someone had repented and put their sins under the Blood. He said, “That’s easy, Brother Green. When someone confesses their sins, God is faithful to forgive them. He not only forgives their sins, He forgets their sins. If He forgets them, He can’t show them to me. So, anything He shows to me, I know it has not been confessed.”
