The pillar of light that went to the tent referred to the coming fulfillment of the Tent Vision, which was the final scene in his vision of the [[Third Pull]].  William Branham talked about having a tent meeting near the end of his life, but this never happened.

In the online version of the Message search program, the word “it” is not capitalized.  However, in the printed version distributed in 1993 by Voice of God Recordings, every “It” is capitalized.  Voice of God Recordings obviously felt at some point that the “It” referred to a person.

:’’ And that's the reason there was silence in Heaven for a space of a half hour, and seven thunders utter their voices, and John was even forbidden to write it, see, the Coming of the Lord. That's one thing He hasn't revealed yet, of how He will come, and when He will come. It's a good thing that He doesn't. No.”

Remember that during the Seventh Seal William Branham said that Elijah was the Spirit of Christ.  So if "Christ" is the Mystery of God Revealed, then William Branham essentially taught that he was God revealed. 
A question was then asked of William Branham on August 30, 1964 as to whether the Thunders were revealed in the Seals.  Reversing his position that the Thunders were not revealed in the Seals, William Branham said,  
 
A question was asked of William Branham on August 30, 1964 as to whether the Thunders were revealed in the Seals.  Reversing his position that the Thunders were not revealed in the Seals, William Branham said,  
:''No, they were revealed in the Seven Seals; that's what the thunders was about. …"But the seventh angel, in the days of his sounding, the seven mysteries of the seven thunders would be revealed." And the seventh angel is a messenger of the seventh church age. See?”

:''”He will reveal the mysteries of the seven thuders in Revelation 10 which are the revelations contained in the seven seals. It will be these Divinely revealed 'mystery-truths' that literally turn the hearts of the children to the Pentecostal fathers. Exactly so.”

So his ministry ended in an endless circular doctrine.
So his ministry ended in circular statements that:
*the Seventh Seal would open with the Seven Thunders,
*the Seventh Seal was not revealed prior to July 1963, and
*The Seven Thunders were revealed in the Seven Seals.

William Braham said the [[Third Pull]] was many things, most of which relate to stories or events that occurred before he preached the Seals.  After the Seals, he said the following about the Third Pull:
[[Image:BookBurning.jpg|thumb|200px|A number of them who had been practicing sorcery brought their incantation books and burned them at a public bonfire. The value of the books was several million dollars. (Acts 19:19 NLT)]]
William Braham said the [[Third Pull]] was many things, most of which relate to stories or events that occurred '''before''' he preached the Seals (like Hattie Wright and the squirrels).   


After the Seals, he said the following about the Third Pull:
:''"He, the Voice, come back, said, "Not a king's sword, but, 'The King's Sword,' the Word of the Lord." Said, "Fear not. It's only the Third Pull. It's the vindication of your ministry."'' (July 25, 1965)

And what did William Branham say was the vindication of his ministry?  It was his own private interpretation of scripture.

:''"People let man put their own interpretation to It by theology, and will not believe God's Divine vindication of It (that's, God's interpretation);"'' (December 6, 1965)

:''"The First Pull, healing; Second Pull, prophesying; Third Pull, the opening of the Word, the mysteries revealed.  …the Third Pull was the opening of them Seven Seals… What's happened upon Mount Sunset? God confirming His Word…And there shall rise false prophets.”''  (July 25, 1965)

It was during this time that [[Hagin Prophecy|Anna Schrader and Kenneth Hagin prophesied William Branham’s impending death]] by the end of 1965, for “Walking in the way of Dowie.” 
'''The Islamic Prophet Muhammed's vindication was the writing of the Koran and his angelic visitation in Jerusalem. So too, William Branham's vindication was the Angelic Revelation of the Seven Seals on Sunset Mountain.'''  Too bad the third pull was mimicked 1,400 years before William Branham's passing.
