===Changes in the prophecy over time===
The prophecy was written down, so each retelling of it should have been consistent.  However, William Branham's statement that a woman would rise to the American Presidency later changed to women voting in a Catholic president.  The great woman became beautiful and cruel, and William Branham claimed this was fulfilled with the election of JFK.  Later, the woman was dressed in purple.  In one sermon this was to be followed immediately by the destruction of America.  William Branham omitted JFK from the fulfillment of this prophecy after the President was assassinated in November 1963.

*1960: Women will vote in the wrong person (Kennedy), and a great woman beautiful and great would rise in the U.S. (perhaps the Catholic Church). <ref>''It shall--also has been an evil thing done in this country; they have permitted women to vote. This is a woman's nation, and she will pollute this nation as Eve did Eden. Now, you see why I'm hammering the way I do. I got, THUS SAITH THE LORD. In her voting she will elect the wrong person. …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've got in parenthesis "perhaps Catholic church.")…It will be near the end.

That's what the Lord showed, but "I predict this will take place before 1977.") … Women, given the right to vote, elected President-elect Kennedy--with the woman's vote, the wrong man, which will finally be to full control of the Catholic church in the United States; then the bomb comes that explodes her.
