 William Branham misled his audience. Did “every one of them” say the souls under the altar were martyrs of the Christian church? No, and he knew they did not all say that. William Branham was dishonest during the sermon on the fifth seal. He knew Clarence Larkin taught the souls under the altar were Jewish martyrs. Why was he pretending he was teaching the people something never known before? Why was he pretending that he received this knowledge from Holy Spirit when he was clearly repeating what he read in one of his library books.
-=Confusion - Christians under the Altar?=
-William Branham then tells a story of how he went to a heavenly place, and saw his own converts under the altar. He tells of the white-robed saints in “that heavenly place” that he saw in a vision.  But Jesus was not there!  It was a mixture of purgatory, and souls under the altar:
-:''I want to see Jesus... You can’t see him now, He is still higher... You mean, by being a leader, that He’ll judge me?  Said, “Yes” I said, “what about Paul?”  He said, “He’ll have to be judged with his.” “Well” I said, if his group goes in, so will mine, ‘cause I’ve preached exactly the same Word.” ...nd millions screamed out, all at once, said, “We’re resting on that!” …See, '''we was right under the altar.'''<Ref>William Branham, 63-0322 - The Fifth Seal, para. 391, 401-404, 410</ref>
-The most notable person absent from this place was Jesus, making “that heavenly place” a waiting place, while the people wait for William Branham to be judged.
-==It must have been another altar?==
-Later in the sermon William Branham talks about two altars in heaven, to diffuse the confusion between the Jews and his followers:
-:''“The Bride, she was not under the martyrs’ block, not, the sacrifice altar of the martyrs; but had received white robes, by accepting the pardoning grace of the living Word.”''
-What William Branham does with this statement is commit some major errors:
-#He ignores the fact that Revelation 6:9 says that the souls were under '''“THE”''' altar (there is only one altar mentioned in this scripture, and a 'martyr's altar' is never mentioned in scriptures);
-#He ignores the fact that there were many Christian martyrs, and that the Bride will include many people who were martyred;
-#He ignores what he previously said about the souls being Jews; and
-#He refers to the “pardoning grace of the living Word”.  Just one night prior he had called his own words “spirit and life” as evidenced by his ability to create squirrels (though no-one was around to witness this).  That means he is making his own words the door to pardoning grace.

 William Branham also tells a story about Joseph giving his brothers white robes in this sermon.  It is likely from this story that some Message Believers think that Moses and Elijah will arise and translate the sermon of the Seven Seals into Hebrew after the rapture.   So, perhaps his message really is one of the false ministries to watch for.
