The following quotes are taken from the sermon entitled [http://www.thefreeword.com/books/9962-L.pdf "Reproach for the cause of the Word" December 23, 1962] spoken in Jeffersonville, Indiana:

:Now, I have had many things to happen in my life, but I never had anything like that. I went into a trance. I don't know the interpretation. I've never had anything like it in my life. But before me, it seemingly that I realized that it was a vision, and I was in the vision. But I was talking to my son, Joseph which he was not in the room at the time. But somehow, just as it struck me, I was talking to Joseph.

:''And I--I looked up, and kind of in the shape of a pyramid, standing before me, was little small birds, something like a half-inch long. And they were up at the top on the limbs, they was a--may say three or four, and the next--next limb had maybe eight or ten, and down at the bottom had fifteen or twenty. They were little warriors, because their feathers was beaten; and looked like they were trying to talk to me, saying something.''

:'And I was in the west, seemingly around Tucson, Arizona.'

:''Then all of a sudden, one bird begin to take the other one's place--jumping like that--and they, the little birds, swiftly left, flying eastward. And when they did, from that came a larger bird, more like doves, with the pointed wings; and--and--and they come in a swarm and swiftly--more swift than what the little birds was--flew eastward.  

:''But here they come. And they were so terrifically fast, till I thought when it lifted up... I heard that explosion like, or like a blast that went out, like a sound barrier; and when it did, I thought, "Well, this must mean that I'm fixing to be killed (See?) in a blast of some sort." And--and I--and while I thought on those things, I thought, "No, it wouldn't be that, because if it was a blast, it would've got Joseph too, because there he is still talking, thinking that I'm there. I can hear him. It wasn't that."

   

:''And no more than the second group of birds come by, I looked to the west; and it looked like in a form of a pyramid, like two on each side with one in the top, came '''five''' of the mightiest Angels I ever seen in my life. Such a terrific speed I never seen...''

:''It just seem to just shakes me, that blasting, and that swift coming of those Angels, like that, '''five''' of them together in a constellation of them, like--kind of like a... Like I had that pyramid drawn here.''

One week later, William Branham spoke a sermon entitled [http://www.thefreeword.com/books/10162-L.pdf "Sirs, what is the time?" December 30, 1962] also spoken in Jeffersonville, Indiana.  The remaining quotes are all taken from that sermon.

The question must be asked: '''Why did the number of angels change over the period of a week?'''

:''And way off into eternity I saw a constellation of something coming. It looked like that it might've been little dots. There could've been ''no less than five, and not more than seven''. But they were in the shape of a pyramid, like these messengers coming.''

:''Knowing nothing about it, a blast come forth and here come ''seven'' angels from eternity. ''

:''Could it be that? The mighty thunder, or the seventh angel in the seven constellation, seventh period constellation, the pyramid made in a form, three on a side, and one on top, and they dropped from eternity. Could it be? Is this the mystery of the thunders that will bring back the Headstone?''

In his book, "The Twentieth Century Prophet", Lee Vayle states that he met with William Branham on December 26, 1962 and discussed the vision.  He stated that they speculated whether the vision could relate to an unveiling of the seven thunders of Revelation 10.

3. Why did the visitation of the angels center around Tucson while the cloud appeared over Flagstaff (over 200 miles away)?

William Branham said that he saw a vision on December 22, 1962 in Jeffersonville, Indiana, just before 10:00 in the morning.  He told about it in a sermon the very next day…
