Rise of a Woman in America: Difference between revisions

{{Top of Page}}

William Branham claimed he saw a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933, which he also claimed to write down in an old book.  In the seventh vision, a woman rose to great power in America.  William Branham was not sure whether the "Woman" in this vision was a physical woman, or a religious power such as the Catholic Church.

===Changes in the prophecy over time===

The prophecy was written down, so each retelling of it should have been consistent.  However, William Branham's statement that a woman would rise to the American Presidency later changed to women voting in a Catholic president.  The great woman became beautiful and cruel, and William Branham claimed this was fulfilled with the election of JFK.  Later, the woman was dressed in purple.  In one sermon this was to be followed immediately by the destruction of America.  William Branham omitted JFK from the fulfillment of this prophecy after the President was assassinated in November 1963.

*1955: A woman will rise to power in America as a president.  <ref>''Before the end time comes, there'll be a woman, that'll be a great ruler in this nation. She will either be president or something on that order, some great woman.'' (May 1, 1955, Chicago, Illinois) </ref>

William Branham also mentions that Leo Mercer would be revising this prophecy, when he said, ''"By the way, Mr. Mercier and many of them are going to take some of these old prophecies, and dig them out, and revise them a little, or bring them up to date, and put them in papers.'' <ref>CONDEMNATION.BY.REPRESENTATION_  JEFF.IN  V-2 N-13  SUNDAY_  60-1113</ref>

The 1960 U.S. Presidential Election was held on November 8, 1960.  Five days after the election, on November 13, 1960, William Branham mentioned a '''prophecy on tape for the very first time'''. He blamed John F. Kennedy’s election on the women’s vote:

:''1932: (Listen to this.) As I was on my way... Or as I was getting ready to go on my way to church this morning, it came to pass that I fell into a vision. Our services is being held on Meigs Avenue at the old orphans' home, where Charlie Kern lives in part of the building." (He lives just across the street now, you know.)

William Branham did not respect Franklin D. Roosevelt, John F. Kennedy, voting women, Jacqueline Kennedy, or the Catholic Church.  It is no surprise that these people made their way from his sermons into his prophecies.  In the United States, women were given a right to vote in 1920.  William Branham called this an “evil thing”, which he claimed he had the right to do because he had “Thus Saith The Lord”.
