It was in the month of March, 1945, one morning about 3:00 A.M. that our Lord Jesus Christ gave me a vision. This He has done many times and I most humbly praise Him for it. | It was in the month of March, 1945, one morning about 3:00 A.M. that our Lord Jesus Christ gave me a vision.

William Branham preached a sermon called “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (July 18, 1949) in which he does not mention this vision. Rather, he says during this sermon, “That truly a supernatural Being came to me and made these statements, and I have not been disobedient to the heavenly vision.” His sermon called “Angel of God” (November 11, 1947) was the first sermon in which he tells of the Angels’ commission. Later, when Gordon Lindsay wrote "A Man Sent From God", only the Angelic visitation is included, and the heavenly vision is forgotten. | William Branham preached a sermon called “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (July 18, 1949) in which he does not mention this vision.

Why was this never mentioned in detail again? Was it because the second story about the angel's commission sounded better? | Why was this never mentioned in detail again? Was it because the second story about the angel's commission sounded better? | ||
==Timing of the vision: 1945 or 1946== | |||
Another issue is with the actual timing of the vision. In the tract the vision came in 1945, while it came in 1946 in Gordon Linday's book. The impact this has on the Message is that William Branham's commission does not coincide with the inauguration of Israel. | Another issue is with the actual timing of the vision.
