'' I'd like to read you a prophecy that was given... This one first. I speak this in the Name of the Lord. The president which now is, President Franklin D. Roosevelt. (Now remember, this is twenty-eight years ago.) will cause the whole world to go to war. (Now, look what happened now.) In...President Franklin D. Roosevelt took America to England's tea party. That's right. Germany never picked on us; we picked on them, throwed the whole world into a war, to cause a world war.''

=Problems with the prophecy= | |||
In the Laodicean Church Age book, William Branham says, “Now let me say this. Can anyone prove any of those visions wrong? Were they not all fulfilled?” Almost 70 years after 1933, we now have the benefit of hindsight in our ability to confirm the accuracy of these prophecies. | In the Laodicean Church Age book, William Branham says, “Now let me say this.

=='''References''' | =The explanation for the failed vision= | ||
[[Cognitive Dissonance|Cognitive dissonance]] requires that those that believe William Branham to be a prophet explain clearly why the vision was not fulfilled. | |||
We have received several comments that refer to secret Polish documents that purport to prove that President Roosevelt was secretly campaigning to incite war in Europe. As proof, they point to a website that contains an article detailing the sordid details of Roosevelt's plot. The problem is that the website that they refer to is well known as an antisemitic pseudo-scholarly body with links to neo-Nazi organizations. Its primary purpose is to disseminate views denying key facts of Nazism. It has been described as the "world's leading Holocaust denial organization." This is evident by an article on the front page of the website in support of Rudolph Hess, a convicted war criminal. | |||
The fact is that this information is completely unprofen and totally at odds with the work of reputable historical scholars. But dissonance reduction requires an explanation, so some followers of William Branham resort to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspiracy_theory conspiracy theory] to explain some of the failed prophecies. | |||
