Dear Reader,
Dear Reader,


[[Image:PieOK.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Humble Pie '''''"If you find that the evidence on this site has misled you in the past, we apologize."''''']]From the start, the purpose of Believethesign.com has been to provide evidence to support truth.  Having grown up in a Message Church, the truth being supported was naturally that William Branham was Elijah the Prophet in fulfillment of Malachi 4:5 and Revelation 10:7.  In the fall of 2011, we changed the main scripture reference of the website to ''“Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever”'' (Hebrews 13:8) in order shift the focus of the site clearly onto Jesus Christ.

The driving force behind this change is that we uncovered a number of significant issues with the evidence supporting William Branham’s prophetic ministry, as he proclaimed it.  Since that time, we have also uncovered issues with his honesty, his healing ministry, and his word of knowledge.

:''We're in the last days. We're standing near the judgment. Why? '''They're trying to eat old manna that fell back yonder fifty years ago''', the Pentecostal church. …They're trying to eat old manna. Oh, brother, that stuff is stagnated. It's contaminated. It's got…wiggle-tails in it, maggots. It'll kill you, to eat it.'' (Trying to do God a service, Jeffersonville, Indiana, July 18, 1965)

This quote was made over 50 years ago.  As a result, the question must be asked: '''Is it time to move on?'''


While our responsibility is simply to present the truth in love, our concern is that the Gospel of Jesus Christ has been replaced with a bowl full of rotten manna in Message Churches.  Some of our major concerns are are described in the pages that are linked from this page (just click on the colored headings to go to the detail pages).  Why it took so long for these things to surface is not clear.

:While an eyewitness to the prophet, he was also accused of swindling a number of Message Believers out of their money in a letter written by Sarah Branham, William Branham's daughter.  Pearry Green also wrote that Los Angeles would sink before Billy Paul was an old man (he was born in 1935).
