 Page 112 of the May 1963 edition of Life Magazine On December 22, 1962 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just before 10:00 in the morning, William Branham saw a vision of Angels coming from the west in a pyramid-constellation. Shortly after this vision, William Branham moved his family to Tuscon, Arizona, where the vision was fulfilled, commissioning the final stage of his ministry.
The Vision: A Prophecy
The following quotes are taken from the sermon entitled "Reproach for the cause of the Word" December 23, 1962 and "Sirs, what is the time?" December 30, 1962, both of which were spoken in Jeffersonville, Indiana:
Part 1: Little Birds
- Now, I have had many things to happen in my life, but I never had anything like that. I went into a trance...And I--I looked up, and kind of in the shape of a pyramid, standing before me, was little small birds, something like a half-inch long. And they were up at the top on the limbs, they was a--may say three or four, and the next--next limb had maybe eight or ten, and down at the bottom had fifteen or twenty. They were little warriors, because their feathers was beaten; and looked like they were trying to talk to me, saying something.
- Sermon: "Reproach for the cause of the Word"
Part 2: Near Tucson
- For it made it so purpose that He didn't want me to fail to see where it was at, I was picking a sand burr off of me from the desert. And I said, "Now, I know this is a vision, and I know that I'm at Tucson. And I know that them little birds there represent something." And they were watching eastward. And all of sudden they taken a notion to fly, and away they went eastward.
- Sermon: "Is this the sign of the end, Sir?"
Part 3: Doves
- And as soon as they left, a constellation of larger birds came. They looked like doves, sharp pointed wings, kind of a gray color, a little lighter color than what these first little messengers was. And they were coming eastward swiftly.
- Sermon: "Is this the sign of the end, Sir?"
Part 4: The Blast
- And no sooner than they got out of my sight, I turned again to look westward, and there it happened. There was a blast that actually shook the whole earth.
- Sermon: "Is this the sign of the end, Sir?"
Part 5: The constellation of Angels
- …I was still looking westward. And way off into eternity I saw a constellation of something coming. It looked like that it might've been little dots. There could've been no less than five, and not more than seven. But they were in the shape of a pyramid, like these messengers coming. And when it did, the power of Almighty God lifted me up to meet them.
- …I could see those Angels, those shaped-back wings traveling faster than sound could travel. They come from eternity in a split like a twinkling of an eye, not enough to bat your eye, just a twinkle. They were there. I didn't have time to count. I didn't have time, no more than just look. Mighty ones, great powerful Angels, snow white, wings set in head, and they were "whew wheeew," [Brother Branham illustrates--Ed.] and when it did, I was caught up into this pyramid of constellation.
- Sermon: "Is this the sign of the end, Sir?"
Part 6: Interpretation
- “By the help of God, I'll be here when this thing is finished and preach the Seven Seals;”
- 'I'm asking you the question. It blasted with thunder when this voice rung out. Did you notice that when the seven seals, that followed the seven church ages; when the first seal was opened, that there was a thunder? The first seals in the Book was opened, there was a thunder.
- Could it be that? The mighty thunder, or the seventh angel in the seven constellation, seventh period constellation, the pyramid made in a form, three on a side, and one on top, and they dropped from eternity. Could it be? Is this the mystery of the thunders that will bring back the Headstone?...
- And you know, the pyramid never was capped. The Headstone's yet to come. It's been rejected. Could it be, brethren, sisters? Or is this that third pull that He told me three or four years ago?
- Notice, the first little flight: hand. The second was greater, whiter, doves: Holy Spirit revealing the secrets of the heart. And the third flight was angels, not birds, angels. And that's the end time.
- Sermon: "Is this the sign of the end, Sir?"
