+He mentions them several times during the sermon series on the seven church ages.  The first is on December 5, 1960:

I predict, not the Lord told me, but I predict it according to a vision that was showed me some years ago, that, five of those things has (out of the seven) has already taken place.

+::''(4) How these great isms would rise up and all fall back into Communism; Hitlerism, and Mussolini, and Co-…Nazism, and so forth, would all fall back into Communism.
+::''(5) And eleven years beforehand, it said that “We’d go to war with Germany, and Germany would be fortified behind concrete,” the Maginot Line. It happened just that way.
+::''(6) Said then, after that, would come to place that…come to pass that science would increase so greatly until they would invent a car, the cars would become more like “egg” all the time. And that vision was told right here where the Church of Christ stands now, at the old Mes-…orphans home. Charlie Kern, perhaps in the building tonight, was living at the place at the time. One Sunday morning about seven o’clock it happened.
+:''(7) And It said, “Then there would come to pass that they’d invent a car that they didn’t need a steering wheel in it, it would be controlled by some kind of a power.” They’ve got it now. They got it now, in magnetic power, radar control. They don’t even…just set your radar to where you’re going, it takes you yourself, don’t have to steer.
+:''(8) Now, and it said in there, “At that time, there’d be a great woman stand up in the United States.” And she was dressed and beautiful, but she was cruel in heart. And I got in parenthesis on the vision, even yellow paper, said, “perhaps the Catholic church.”
+:''(9) And the women being permitted to vote would help elect the wrong person for this nation. And that’s what they done. Exactly. Now, said, “That would be the beginning.”
+:''(10) Now another thing it said, that…Then immediately after that, I saw this nation become as a smolder, just blowed to bits. Now, if them things has happened, so will this other.<ref>William Branham, 60-1205 - The Ephesian Church Age, para. 46-58</ref>

 :''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.

-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):
+He mentions the visions in passing on December 30, 1962:
+:''You remember, many of you here, the old-timers, Roy Slaughter, maybe, and farther back in that, remembers down yonder when I told you about prophecy. One day, down there at the Odd Fellows’ building, before we ever come to here, I said,
+:''(1) “Mussolini will come to a shameful end.” I said, “His first invasion, he will go to Ethiopia, and Ethiopia will fall at his step. But he’ll come to his end, and nobody will help him. In disgrace will he be buried.” There he is.

+The visions are mentioned again on November 17, 1963:
+:''1933, the Holy Spirit came one morning and told me seven things that would take place before this nation was destroyed. One of them is that. It’s on old paper there at the church, many has looked at it.
+:''(1) How that we would go to war with Hitler and they’d… How Germany would fortify and build a Maginot Line, or the Siegfried Line, I believe it was, eleven years before it was ever thought of.
+:''(2) And how that automobiles would constantly shape like eggs.
+:''(3) And how that they would permit women to vote, and, in doing so, they would elect the wrong President.

+He does not mention the visions again for about a year but then describes them incompletely in January 1964 (emphasis and numbers added):
 :''And is it not a strange thing, that in this day that when we have come through all these things, and the Message has crossed the earth against organization, It’s blasted it from right to left, that, in this hour that’s been told since 1933, when the Holy Spirit gave me that visions and showed me the end time, seven things that I spoke of, and five of them has already happened, perfectly, right on; like Germany and—and Italy and all the wars, and the national things (seldom speaks to me on those things).

+On March 21, 1964 he said:
+:''In my book in there, that I keep wrote down. In 1933, one morning, fixing to go to Sunday school, a Baptist Sunday school where I was pastor, the Holy Spirit come and showed me down to the end time, and showed me seven things that would happen. I marked them down. It’s on old yellow paper.
+::''(1) Told me exactly how Germany would build that Siegfried Line, and how the Americans would take a great beating at it, eleven years before the—the line was ever built.

There is cars go down the highways, with some kind of a control, they don’t have to guide it. I seen an American family playing checker in the back of a car.” They’ve got the car right now, if they just had the highways to put it on. The little Volkswagen is a perfect egg, just exactly, and it’s all the other cars. Could you imagine, in 1933, what the cars looked like, to now?
+::''(5)And then It predicted again, that, permitting women to vote, and what they would do. And how that this country, being a type, like Israel, come into a land and drove out the occupants, and inherited the land. And the first few kings they had, David and Solomon, were God-fearing kings. After a while, they got an Ahab on the scene. They voted him in. The chair’ll got…church got worldly. And, we’ve had a Lincoln and a Washington, look what it is today. Look where we’re going now. Where is the next thing?

-The final time that William Branham describes the visions was in July 1964.  He states that there were two people who were still around when the visions were told, Mrs. Wilson and William Branham's wife, although there was no indication that either of them was in attendance at the meeting (emphasis and numbers added):

+The final time the visions are mentioned is on August 23, 1964:
+:''Paul Boyd wrote here concerning those seven things that I seen in 1933, that was to come to pass. And he watches them just as close, technically, as he can, because he’s a historian. And he watches it, just exactly what you say. And he seen those things that was told of many years ago:

+::''(5) And now, it also said, “And it shall come to pass, that before the end time shall come, that automobiles will take on the shape of an egg, become more like an egg.” And I saw an American family driving down a highway in a car that…They were setting facing one another, and had a table, and were, look like, playing checkers or cards. And they didn’t have any steering wheel in the car. And it was controlled by some power without a steering wheel. How many remembers me prophesying that (see?), that’s been here? Now, at the World’s Fair they’ve already got the car on the market. Here is the…It’s sold now; some big company has taken many of them. And this car, here it is. Paul Boyd remembered the prophecy, looked into his book what I’d said, and took the picture in there. And there it is, exactly in the form of an egg, with two seats setting that way, and two seats setting this way, and a table setting in the middle to play the cards and things on, just exactly.
+:''The Lord’s Word is perfectly accurate. That was in 1933. That would be…Let’s see, what would that be? Thirty-two years ago, wouldn’t it? This is ’64. Yeah, thirty…Yeah, thirty-one years ago. Thirty-one years ago the Lord told me that, and here it is. And the company’s here that’s already ordered them; and the—and trucking companies and things are getting trucks made like them. They can control it right from their headquarters like that, don’t even have to have a driver in it. And here it is all already made, and there it is with the cars. Now, it’s on the bulletin board in the back, and you can read the prophecy and just see how accurate our God is, how His Word…He said, “Heavens and earth will pass away, but My Word shall never fail.”
+:''Just look, thirty-three years ago. You know what a—what a 1931, or whatever it was, model car would look like; it’d look like a relic. It said, “It’ll look just like an egg, become like an egg.” Of course, there’s nobody here, I guess, that’s living today or among us that heard me say that. It’s…You’ve heard me say it down through the ages, but…Yeah, here’s a woman setting here. Why, Mrs. Wilson, I didn’t see you there. You remember when that taken place. That’s when she was healed, dying with TB (the woman, her husband and daughter came for me to go pray for her) till she’d hemorrhaged until the—the corner was laying full of—of pillow slips and things that she’d bled. And the doctor said, “There’s not a way of getting her ever to live,” and even…She was trying to say something to me before dying, and the blood would spurt out over the blankets and sheets when she was there, when she’d try to cough. And I took her out of that bed, and took her to a cold river here, and a icy water, and baptized her in the Name of Jesus Christ. And that’s been thirty-three years ago, and here she sets today, still living, when the big, healthy children, a lot of them are gone on. There you are. “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!” That just shows how perfect it comes to pass when it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD.

Said they become so immoral, till they walk down the street with just like underneath clothes on. And I said, “Then will come to pass, that they’ll even be so disgraceful, till they’ll wear something looks like a fig leaf.” I saw it, and they’ve got it; and they’re wearing it. Just the—the immorality of women would get so low and degraded! We can’t go no lower now; you can’t go no worse. She’s at the end!

 The 1933 visions were also mentioned in the [[An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages|Church Age Book]].  Given that this book was compiled by Lee Vayle from the sermons on the seven church ages and reviewed in detail by William Branham, we would have to view this listing as being determinative.  However, they must be compared to what William Branham has stated previously and any discrepancies noted from other times that William Branham stated he was reading from the list of prophecies as recorded by him in 1933.  This comparison is detailed above in our analysis (emphasis and numbers added):
