Josephus tells of “a certain impostor named Theudas [who] persuaded a great number to follow him to the river Jordan which he claimed would divide for their passage.” Cuspius Fadus, procurator of Judea, “sent a troop of horse[s] against them, who falling unexpectedly upon them, killed many, and made many prisoners; and having taken Theudas himself alive, they cut off his head, and brought it to Jerusalem.” Dositheus, a Samaritan, “pretended that he was the lawgiver prophesied of by Moses.” There were so many of these impostors preying on the gullibility of the people that under the procuratorship of Felix, “many of them were apprehended and killed every day. They seduced great numbers of the people still expecting the Messiah; and well therefore might our Saviour caution his disciples against them.”.<ref>Gary DeMar, Last Days Madness: Obsession of the Modern Church, Fourth revised edition (Powder Springs, GA: American Vision, 1999), 73–74.</ref> | Josephus tells of “a certain impostor named Theudas [who] persuaded a great number to follow him to the river Jordan which he claimed would divide for their passage.” Cuspius Fadus, procurator of Judea, “sent a troop of horse[s] against them, who falling unexpectedly upon them, killed many, and made many prisoners; and having taken Theudas himself alive, they cut off his head, and brought it to Jerusalem.” Dositheus, a Samaritan, “pretended that he was the lawgiver prophesied of by Moses.” There were so many of these impostors preying on the gullibility of the people that under the procuratorship of Felix, “many of them were apprehended and killed every day.

==Matthew 13:24-30== | |||
William Branham mentions Matthew 13:24-30 in passing: | |||
:''But here is the Word, Christ Himself, that’s the anointed Word which shall come for the rest of His Body, the Bride. The anointed, of the '''same water that watered the wheat''', as we talked about, also waters the tares, anointed ones. Only the Elected, or predestinated, will be able to detect the difference between them.<Ref>William Marrion Branham, 65-0725M - The Anointed Ones At The End Time, para. 160</ref> | |||
The problem with William Branham's interpretation is that the passage says nothing about rain. This is a clear example of William Branham reading meaning into the text. This is particularly the case because Jesus explains the parable of the wheat and tares in Matthew 13:36-43 and mentions nothing of William Branham's interpretation. | |||
