William Branham had a vision of meetings being held in a large tent.  The vision took place sometime prior to 1956 as the first time he relates the vision is in January 1956.  He indicated the vision was "Thus Saith The Lord."
In July 1965, the vision was still unfulfilled when William Branham stated:
:''You are driving us to that tent, to make that vision fulfill.<ref>William Branham, 65-0711 - Ashamed, para. 16, 113</ref>
William Branham died prior to the end of 1965 with the vision still unfulfilled.
This is an example of another failed prophecy.

:''And many of you know that just before leaving on the other crusade, about eight or ten years, I think around ten years since, well, nine years it has been. It was…These things were told exactly how the auditorium services, you remember; exactly how that Brother Lawton would live exactly three years and then be taken away; that Brother Ward would build a tabernacle down in this position, this direction here; and all just exactly. You know it, you old-timers. It happened just that way, and so will this, for it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD. And you’ll know.<ref>William Branham, 56-0101 - Why Are People So Tossed About?, para. 42-53</ref>

:''And so far as I know, that '''every vision''' that He’s ever give me '''has been fulfilled''', '''except the one that I’m a change in my ministry''', to where I’m to pray for people in a little place like a little room '''under a tent''', or a big auditorium or something. It looked, to me, like a tent. You remember that, two or three years ago? Most all of it was brought to pass. I was to go down in Mexico, and how it would rain that night and what would take place down there. And He told me my ministry of the First Pull. Remember about catching the little bitty fish, or missing it? Second one was a small fish. But then He told me, “On the Third Pull, don’t fail. See? And don’t tell people.” I’m always trying to explain what I’m trying to do. He let me know not to tell people what you’re doing. Just do what He tells me to do and let it alone. See?<ref>William Branham,  62-0908 - Present Stage Of My Ministry, para. 16</ref>

:''And just then He picked me up. He took me up, and sit me way up high, to where a meeting was going on. Looked like a tent or a cathedral, of some sort. And I looked, and there was a little box, like, little place over in the side. And I seen that Light was talking to somebody, above me, that Light that you see there on the picture. It whirled away from me, like that, and went over that tent. And said, “I’ll meet you there.” And said, “This will be the Third Pull, and you won’t tell It to nobody.” And in Sabino Canyon, He said, “This is the Third Pull.”<ref>William Branham,  63-0324E - The Seventh Seal, para. 299</ref>
 
:''Now, that great gift! Others I’ve tried to explain and say how it was done. This can’t be explained. Just wait. It will not be in operation so perfectly now. Wait till that Council of Churches brings on that persecution, that’s when it will happen. That’s the reason I come back among you, to pray for the sick. I have never had but one thing that He ever told me in my life that I know that hasn’t happened yet, that some sort of a building or a tent where there will be a little building setting and I’d have to go into that and pray for the sick. That hasn’t happened yet as far as I know. That’s the only thing that I know.<ref>William Branham,  64-0120 - His Unfailing Words Of Promise, para. 138</ref>

:''And then I’m here to get the trustees together. I’m kind of getting put out of all this turning me down on place to hold a meeting, when I’m feeling led to do it. '''So I think I’m going to ask if we just can’t get our tent''' and—and put it up, and just stay there, you know. Get out here in the ball park, or out on a farm, and move it from place to place, just as the Lord will lead. And I feel that that’s what He’s going to do. You know, '''there’s a vision concerning that.''' And I think that maybe the reason this happens…Now, you know, a lot of times we think it’s horrible because certain things happen, but, you know, that might be God, see, driving you into these things.
