William Branham said this about his "revelation" of the first seal: | |||
:'''''I would've had a horrible mistake on that if it hadn't been about twelve o'clock today when the Holy Spirit came in the room and corrected me''' on something that I was writing down to say. I was taking it from an old context. I had nothing on it. I don't know what the Second Seal is no more than nothing, but I'd got some old contexts of something that I'd spoke on several years ago and wrote it down, and I'd gathered this context—context… | |||
:''And Dr. Smith, '''many great outstanding teachers that I—I'd gathered''', and all of them believed that, so I'd wrote it down. And I was fixing to say, "Well, now I'll study it from that standpoint." '''And there about twelve o'clock in the day the Holy Spirit just swept right down into the room, and the whole thing just opened up to me''', and there it was…?… of this—of this First Seal being opened. | |||
:''I'm as positive as I'm standing here tonight that this is the Gospel Truth that I'm going to tell you about. I just know it is. Because if a revelation's contrary to the Word, then it isn't revelation. And you know, there's some of the stuff can look so absolutely true, and yet isn't truth. See? It looks like it is, but it isn't. <ref>William Branham, 63-0318 - The First Seal, para. 35-39</ref> | |||
