I have found this particular subject to be a bit of a curiosity. I cannot say I really understand Bro. Branham's logic here (because it does not make any sense, and seems to be not the least bit biblical). But I do see and accept the point he was making. | |||
If I understand him, I think it is the "ham" in the name which he regards as important. The fact that he had seven letters is secondarily important. "Ham" meaning father. (I do not think he actually knew what "ham" meant. I could be mistaken though) | |||
So from the aspect that they are both fathers in their movement, I can see the comparison. Likewise Abraham was a father of a nation. I do not think you would dispute the fact that Bro. Branham birthed a movement, and he is the father of it. By the time he made those statements, his movement was well underway and established. So, rather than trying to promote himself above someone else, I interpret his statements as reflecting reality. He is the father of a movement, and so was Billy Graham. | |||
He then, by strange logic, considers that Graham is to the world church since he has six letters in his name, while he is to the bride church because he has seven letters. I do not understand the logic, as I said, but the point I can see. | |||
I listened today to a message you gave on YouTube where you spoke on the Will of God. I very much enjoyed it. I have also finished your podcast series. There were alot of sad stories on there. It is unfortunate how many people have been hurt by wicked men. | |||
