William Branham claimed he had a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933. In the first vision, Franklin D. Roosevelt picked on the Germans and started the Second World War. William Branham stopped telling this part of the prophecy in 1961, but still maintained that there were seven other major parts to the 1933 vision that were "Thus Saith The Lord". | William Branham claimed he had a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933.

The USA did not lead the world into WWII, as William Branham prophecied. In fact, the United States stayed out of the conflict until 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. It is not clear how William Branham omitted this fact, as he preached about Pearl Harbour a number of times, condemning the soldiers for their revelry. | The USA did not lead the world into WWII, as William Branham stated that he had prophecied.
