:''And the seven watches, like the seven watch, of one come. He didn't come the first watch, second, third, fourth, but come in the seventh watch. That was Enoch, the seventh, which was translated. And Noah, being a type of the remnant of Jews, is to be carried over. Now, in the Bible times, talking about the watches. And nights were not divided into hours, in the Bible time.<ref>THE.RAPTURE YUMA.AZ 65-1204</ref> | :''And the seven watches, like the seven watch, of one come.

Message followers place William Branham’s message above the Bible. They do this while at the same time denying that they do. Here Barry Coffey, a message pastor from North Carolina: | |||
:''We don't we don't look at brother Branham's words as the Bible. We don't look at brother Branham as god. That would be blasphemy. That would be anti-Christ for us to do that. | |||
While the Bible is clear that Enoch and Noah never met, William Branham stated on numerous occasions that they did: | |||
:''Just like Noah kept watching Enoch. When Enoch went, Noah said, “Better get close to the ark. The time is at hand.” Noah kept watching Enoch. <ref>63-0320 - The Third Seal, para. 204>/ref> | |||
But this is not biblical. I put this chart together myself based on a simple reading of Genesis chapter 5. We can see Adam’s descendants from Seth down through Adam. Enoch was born 622 years after Adam’s creation and was translated 365 years later. It is obvious to anyone who can read and perform simple addition that Noah was born 69 years AFTER Enoch was translated. Given that Noah was at least 500 years old before he God told him to build the ark, construction did not start until at least 569 years AFTER Enoch was translated. | |||
Even though this is not biblical, here’s Barry Coffey doing exactly what he described as blasphemous: | |||
:''Hey listen... Enoch did it.. Looking up there at the size of that ark. We are witnesses of how big that ark actually was. We've been there, seen it, done that. And and that completed ark was a symbol of pending judgment, right. Enoch knew that. Noah knew that. And here's Noah saying that and here's Enoch observing that. | |||
Chris Maritz from Langley, BC in Canada does exactly the same thing: | |||
:''and I want you to remember that Noah was alive during this time. Can you imagine the conversations that Noah and Enoch would have around a dinner table? There's Noah preaching the gospel. Judgment's coming. Enoch is believing the word because of something that happened in his own life. Amen. As they're mirroring each other. These two eternal seeds of god walking together on the earth, walking with God in fellowship and communion... the rest of the world thinking they're completely crazy. | |||
Message ministers say they are familiar with the questions we have raised and completely discount them. Yet we raised this issue, that Noah and Enoch were alive at the same time, almost 10 years ago. | |||
Personally, I think message ministers have lied. They haven’t even looked at our questions. Rather they have remained ignorant, knowingly rejected scripture and followed William Branham instead. | |||
How can you say that William Branham’s word has a lesser status than the Bible when you can’t disagree with him? When the plain reading of the text of scripture takes a back seat to their prophet’s interpretation? | |||
Either you believe the Bible or you believe William Branham. You can’t believe both. | |||
