The story is told that William Branham was hunting in the mountains of Arizona. Standing with his friend, Banks Wood, he threw a rock into the air and said, “THUS SAITH THE LORD, you’ll see the glory of God.” The rock fell to the ground, giving rise to a tiny whirlwind. The next day, while the hunters were in camp, the whirlwind ripped through the mountain. It tore out the side of the cliffs and cut of the tops of the trees. The rocks broke into three-sided pieces. Today, Message Believers come from around the world to Rattlesnake Mesa to look for three-cornered rocks as a testimony that their Prophet was there. The 1964 Alaskan Earthquake is also seen by the followers of Branham as the fulfillment of his prophecy. | The story is told that William Branham was hunting in the mountains of Arizona.
