He said to me, ‘This past year, I was praying with my wife and sister Schrader about the work of the ministry. (Sister Schrader was a prophetess who has since gone on to be with the Lord.) We were praying about different projects in our ministry. Right in the middle of the prayer, Sister Schrader blurted out, ‘Go warn Brother [Branham]… he’s going to die.’  Brother Lindsay said, ‘I was busy, and I let that get by me, and I didn’t go warn him like I was supposed to. Then later, my wife and I and Sister Schrader were again praying about ministry projects. Again Sister Schrader blurted out right in the middle of prayer, ‘Go warn Brother [Branham]… he’s going to die.

:'''''Brother Hall''' has done a wonderful job. I met Brother Hall some time ago. He's been a '''bosom brother to me'''. And I tell you; I've been with Brother Hall a long time. And I believe Brother Hall lives just exactly what he talks about. And that's right. A good man, a Christian man… Brother Lindsay has gone back to the "Voice of Healing." He has a lot of—of subscribers and things. He has to be there. Perhaps Brother Hall and I will be together the rest of the summer, all but when I meet with Brother Baxter, another fine Christian gentleman, Brother Baxter. We'll be going to Africa together pretty soon.<ref>51-0414, The Angel Of The Lord</ref>

A short time before William Branham died, he and Rev. Hall were talking as they did on many occasions.  William Branham told Bro. Hall that the Lord was about to take him off the scene because many of the people had started to worship him and it wasn't right.

It appears that William Branham had taken the prophetic warnings from Gordon Lindsay seriously but he was not prepared to listen to the reason behind the warnings as they had been conveyed to him.

=Quotes of William Branham=
 
Having God remove you from the earth for disobeying God was clearly part of William Branham's philosophy:
 
:''He started going down, and got sick. See? God couldn't speak to him. '''I warned him, I done everything I could.''' Brother Smith went to him and warned him. Everybody tried to do everything they could for him. Still, he just shook his head. '''What happened? He took sick and died.''' That showed that he was a saved man. '''If God could not make him… bring him in obedience, He will have to take him out of the earth and bring him Home.''' That's exactly what the Bible said. That's what the Bible promises. If you won't stand correction, you've got to come on Home. 476  So God cannot lose you after He's saved you, but He can shorten your days here, and make you pay for every sin you've done. So, if you sin, you're going to have to pay for what you've done. Just remember that.
 
:''Now, now the Lord be with you. I believe, tonight, that Brother Ramsey was saved. Absolutely, I believe it. But he just wouldn't obey God, and when '''he wouldn't obey God, God had to bring him home.''' That's the only thing to do, because, what was it? "He would bring reproach and disgrace to the Blood wherewith he was sanctified with." That right? "And count the covenant an unholy thing," if that isn't just exactly what this Hebrew letter said. See? It would be impossible for him to be lost, but he would bring shame and disgrace, so God would have to take him off the earth and bring him Home. That's exactly what had taken place.<ref>57-0908E, Hebrews, Chapter Six #2</ref>
