William Branham claimed he saw a series of <strike>seven</strike> ten 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.

==Classifying William Branham's prophecies==

===The Multiple Versions of the Prophecy===

William Branham said that 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.

Here is a recap of what William Branham said (see full quotes at the bottom of this page):

*1955: A woman will rise to power in America as a president.

*1957: A great powerful woman will take over the whole nation.

*1958:  

**A great woman will rise up, and be President or something  

**There’ll be a great, powerful woman raise up, either be President, or dictator, or some great powerful woman in this United States.

*1960:  

**Women will vote in the wrong person (Kennedy), and a great woman beautiful and great would rise in the U.S. (perhaps the Catholic Church).  

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>

''But just remember this. I predict this: that '''a woman will be president before we’re annihilated.''' That’s right. I said that in 1933 by a vision.<ref>William Branham, 56-0428 - God's Covenant With Abraham, para. 44</ref>

''And you remember, '''I’ve already predicted in 1933, a woman would rule this nation before the chaos, by the annihilation.''' See her face on the money; she’s everything; she’s a goddess; she’s… Hollywood’s done it. The reason that takes place, is because you stayed home on Wednesday night from the prayer meeting to watch some old dirty play of “We Love Sucy,” or something like that.<ref>William Branham, 58-0512 - Life, para. 31</ref>

''Look at the prophecy the Lord give me in ’33, how it would happen, “They’d permit women to vote. In voting, they’d elect the wrong person.” Seven things was give, and five of them has already happened. '''The next thing was a great woman, a church, a power or something, would take over this United States, to rule.''' Then I seen it just like ashes, laying, where it come to the end. It was the end time.<ref>William Branham, 60-1204M - The Revelation Of Jesus Christ, para. 390</ref>

''Now, so then I said, “There will be in that time, during that time the women will be permitted to vote, and they’ll elect the wrong person.” They did it on this last election. That’s right. “Which will start the stronghold. '''During that time it’ll come to pass that—that there’ll be a great woman rise up in the United States, she’ll be beautifully dressed,” and I got in parenthesis: “(perhaps the Catholic church).” See? “That’ll take rulership over the power, overpower the others in the United States. She’ll be beautiful to look at, but she’ll be cruel-hearted as she can be.”'''  I said, “Then I looked again, and I saw the United States just blowed to pieces. There wasn’t nothing left on it.” 200 And I predicted then. “Now this, that was THUS SAITH THE LORD.”<ref>William Branham, 60-1208 - The Thyatirean Church Age, para. 198</ref>

''God showed me that women began to be out of their place with the granting of the vote… '''Then in the sixth vision there arose up in America a most beautiful, but cruel woman. She held the people in her complete power.''' I believed that this was the rise of the Roman Catholic Church, though I knew it could possibly be a vision of some woman rising in great power in America due to a popular vote by women. <ref>William Branham, Church Age Book, Chapter 9</ref>
