The Seven Visions of 1933: Difference between revisions

:''Women are taking over. Course, that’s just the trend and the prophecy of the day, that this nation is a woman’s nation. It’ll be run by a woman. And remember, thir-…'''1933, I saw that come in a vision, a great powerful woman will take over the whole nation''', some day, that’s exactly right, before the end time, ’fore total annihilation. 34 The cars, in that day, will be shaped like an egg, running back like, in this form there. And it’ll be controlled by some kind of a power, that they won’t even have to use the steering wheel, at times. [Brother Branham snaps his finger once—Ed.] Just set her, and go on like that. See, before the annihilation! Now, you remember, that’s, now, that’s on record. See? '''And women will take over. Women will take over'''.<ref>William Branham,  57-0602 - Life, para. 32-33</ref>

    

The next mention is over a year later in September, 1958 when he details five of the visions (emphasis and numbers added):

::(5) ''And I said, “Remember, in that day, before the end time comes, before the end time comes, that a woman…Now, you all keep this wrote down. There’ll be '''a great, powerful woman raise up, either be President, or dictator, or some great powerful woman in this United States'''. And she’ll sink, under the influence of women.''  

:''Now, you remember, that’s '''THUS SAITH THE LORD'''.” See?<ref>William Branham,  58-0927 - Why Are We Not A Denomination?, para. 136</ref>

The prophecies aren't mentioned again until August 1960 when he relates 3 visions.  He refers to the visions a number of times in 1960 (emphasis and numbers added):

:''And it’ll be that way; we’re coming to it now. We’re right in it, because the Holy Spirit is the One that leads the church, and warns us of dangers that is to come.<ref>William Branham,  60-0805 - Lamb And Dove, para. 30</ref>

    

In November 1960, he states for the first time that he is reading them and that they were from 1932 (emphasis and numbers added):

::(2) ''And the new dictator of Italy, '''Mussolini, shall make his first invasion towards Ethiopia. And he will take Ethiopia, but that will be his last. He shall come to his end.'''

::(3) ''“We will be in war with Germany. Watch Russia. Now, that, see, '''Communism, Nazism, and Fascism.''' Watch Russia, but that is not the main one to watch. ''

::(5) ''“The Americans will take a great beating at a place that Germany will build, which will be a great wall built of concrete,” '''the Maginot Line''', eleven years before it was ever built, “but finally they will be victors. ''

::(6) ''“Then when these women help elect the wrong person, then '''I seen a great woman rise up in the United States''', well-dressed and beautiful, but cruel in heart. She will either guide or lead this nation to ruination.” I got, in parenthesis, “('''Perhaps, Catholic church'''). ''

:''So, we find out, we’re—we’re right on the verge. Reason I said this; that’s the reason I pressed that, the other day, so hard the way I did. But it was that that did it, that’s right, women’s vote. That put…  Did you notice the rallies on the television? Nixon to be, pretty near, all men. All of them wanted to kiss Kennedy, the women, jumping astraddle the cars, everything like that, jumping up-and-down.  

    

:''I was on my way to Sunday school, and when I was getting my Bible, a vision came before me; and I was stopped in the floor. '''And here was what it said. It’s on yellow paper. Will be printed in the “Herald of Faith” right away, because most all of it is fulfilled.''' 1933—think of this now. Many, many years ago, about twenty-eight years ago it—it taken place. Watch how accurate His Word is.  

:Now, there was seven things spoke of that would happen. Five of them has already happened. There’s two left to take place. It’ll be that way. '''That’s in the Name of the Lord it shall be that way'''. See?<ref>William Branham,  60-1125 - Conference, para. 5-7</ref>

    

On December 8, 1960, he mentions the visions again (emphasis and numbers added):

:''And I said, “I predict, according to the way time is moving, '''it’ll be sometime between this year ’33 and ’77.'''” And it’ll have to squeeze awful hard to get through there.  And we’re setting on a powder keg, friends. Everything’s ready.<ref>William Branham,  60-1208 - The Thyatirean Church Age, para. 192-204</ref>

    

:But the Lord showed me a vision of the great powerful woman, in ’33, 1933, it’s on paper. Of how that  

::(8) ''But there’ll be a powerful woman! Now, remember! This is on tape, too. A powerful woman, great woman, she’ll either be President, or it’ll be a woman representing the Catholic church (which I think it is) will take over here someday and she’ll rule this country. This nation is a woman’s nation. Flag was made by a woman, it’s number thirteen. She started out, thirteen stars, thirteen stripes, thirteen colonies. Everything’s thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, right on down. Thirteen stars on her silver dollar now. Everything’s a thirteen. It’s number thirteen, and appears in the 13th chapter of Revelation. Completely thirteen! Everything is “woman, woman, woman, woman, woman,” right on down. And she took over all the offices. She’s took over Hollywood. She’s took over the nations. She’s took over the offices. She’s took over everything there is; equal rights with the man, votes with the man, cusses like a man, drinks like a man, anything else. And just bait for the Catholic church, for the worship of a woman! They’re already worshipping a woman, anyhow.<ref>William Branham, 60-1211E - The Laodicean Church Age, para. 44-49</ref>

    

:''A few days ago we… Now, I’m not Democrat nor Republican; I’m a Christian; so I don’t mention these things. But I picked up an old book there that the—the Lord had gave me a vision in 1933 when I just first become a minister, going down to the Baptist Tabernacle. And He gave me a vision that morning, and I seen the first one I remember of an international affair.  

:See, all those things that the Lord spoke is true. And we just got two more things left of that to be fulfilled, and that’s the end time. And if there ever was a time that we ought to be trying to get people to God, it’s now.<ref>William Branham,  61-0128 - Why?, para. 93</ref>

    

:''And as I said, “We’re just being honeycombed with communism and everything.” Every ism, it’s… Many of you, if you’d put a righteous President in every county in the whole United States, it’s still gone. She’ll never rise again, '''THUS SAITH THE LORD.''' 1956 she made her fatal move. Now, and she took well on her way about three months ago. Now, she’s gone. Write it in your Bible; see if it’s right. 1933, one morning going to the Baptist tabernacle, I went into a trance, saw a vision.  

::(3) ''“Mussolini is standing up as a dictator; he will make his first invasion to Ethiopia. But he will take Ethiopia, but he will come to a disgraceful end, him and that woman both.” And they hung them with their feet up, and her clothes hanging over her head in the street, and spit on them. I said,  

::(4) ''“Science will improve.” I said,  

::(6) ''“Science will be increased, until it comes to a place until they’ll perfect an automobile, that looks like an egg, before the end time.” There I seen it. And I said,  

::(7) ''“They’ll control it with some kind of a steering outfit that they don’t have to touch it theirself.” I seen an American family, going down a great big broad way playing cards with a glass-top car, looked like an egg. They’ve got it right now. You seen it on television here not long ago. They’ve got it. And I said,  

:''That has been twenty-one years ago (See?), when it was predicted. If '''five of them is perfectly hit''', the other two’s got to. I see them coming on the road now.<ref>William Branham,  61-0312 - Jehovah-Jireh, para. 74-78</ref>

    

William Branham reiterates the visions again on August 6, 1961 (emphasis and numbers added):

: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 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 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? [The old-timers say, “Amen.”—Ed.] Look at the hand. Sure.  

:Now watch. I predicted seven things was yet in the making of the…before this great consummation or great thing would take place here in the United States, some great horrible thing. I said… Now remember, this is before it started. I said we would go into a Second World War. How many remember hearing me say it? Say, “Amen.” [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] All right. A Second World War! I said,  

::(1) ''“The President that now is…” I copied this off the old scripture, yet, the old thing yesterday, that, “The President that we now have,” which was…How many remembers whose it was? [A brother says, “Franklin Roosevelt.”] Franklin D. Roosevelt. I said, “The President we have in now will run even in the fourth term,” he was on his first then, “will run into the fourth term, and we will be taken to a Second World War.”  I said,  

:And here comes around and shows. And then I predicted. I never said the Lord told me that, but, standing that morning in the church, I said, “The way progress…” I got back to one end of their wall, and run to the other end of the wall. I said, “The way progress is going on, I’ll predict that the time…I don’t know why I’m saying it. But I predict that '''that’ll all happen between right now, 1933, and 1977.'''” And not knowing it, God knows my heart, I never knowed it until yesterday, that 1977 is the jubilee, and exactly the same amount of time run out that He give with Israel, and everything at the end. So we’re at…And here we are at the end of the age, at the coming in of the seventieth week. We don’t know what time that the Church will be gone. Oh, my! What can we do, friends? Where we at?<ref>William Branham,  61-0806 - The Seventieth Week Of Daniel, para. 200-205</ref>

    

He does not mention the visions again for two and a half years but then describes them incompletely in January 1964 (emphasis and numbers added):

::(5) ''And then the end come.<ref>William Branham,  64-0112 - Shalom, para. 74</ref>

    

:''And now I have predicted by revelation from God, or a vision in 1933, that seven things would happen before the end time. And that, one of them, that,
