Quotes of William Branham

106 War! This is the setting of the great battle; the people that rejected God’s Message, rejected the Holy Spirit, the Messenger of the seven churches. The one that had rejected this Message of His grace had nothing left, but judgment was ready; oh, while He was making ready to pour out the plagues upon the earth now. “Come up hither and I’ll show you what’s fixing to take place. Christ-rejecting, godless sinners, I’m going to pour out My wrath upon them.”

  60-1231 - Revelation, Chapter Four #1


64 Now, we’ve poured out the medicine this week as hard as I knowed how to pour it out, and as straight as I knowed how to bring it. Now, if you don’t receive it, then God’s going to say, “Why?” Someday the Bible’s going to lay closed on the pulpit. The preacher’s going to play—pray his last prayer. The taps will die out from the bugle, and the sun will set its last time over the hill. Then God’s going to ask you to give a reason. When the ones that rejects the Message, is going to be asked to give a reason, what then? “What then? What then? When that great book is opened, what then? When the one’s that reject this message tonight, is going to be asked to give a reason, what then?

232 I have not called myself a prophet. You’ve done that. But, if it is so, then where does the Word of the Lord come from? How do we know whether it’s true or not unless there’s something to back it up? That’s God’s Word here, the written Word. And then if the written Word is backed up, then it’s God in that Word making that Word true. Paul said, “Follow me, as I follow Christ.”

384 Jesus said, “He that receives them that I send, receives Me.” And, now, them that He sends. “And them that receives Me receives Him that sent Me.” Wish we had time to linger on that. You can only serve God as…You can only serve God as you do and—and believe the servants that God sends. You can only serve God on earth, see, as God’s servants that’s sent on earth by Divine inspiration interprets the Word to you. You believe that? [Congregation says, “Amen.”—Ed.] 385 You want to put down some Scriptures for it? First Corinthians 14:16. Paul said, “You follow me as I follow Christ,” also, 11:1. Luke 10:16, see what He said, what Jesus said there. Luke 10:16, believe we’re right close to it here. Let’s see what it says one time here, Luke 10:16, while they’re writing the rest of them down. Now, that’s First Corinthians 14:16, also 11:1, and Luke 10:16. 386 Now let’s read. I’m getting to Luke 10:16, here, just to read while you all looking at the other now, just for a moment. All right. Here we are. He that heareth you heareth me;…he that despises you despises me;…he that despises me despises him that sent me. 387 That proves that God speaks His Message through His servants. Always has. That’s right.

63 These episodes has been on the earth since the days of Noah. We find out when God’s…had Noah, the prophet of righteousness, going forth with his message, there was an episode of immorality in that day, as the Bible said, “Eating, drinking, marrying, given in marriage.” We find out, gluttonous and immorality, and so forth, taken place in that day. And then the world fell apart because the people rejected the message of God, for that day. Noah was a prophet anointed of God, sent of God, with a message from God, and he gave the people a warning before the judgment come. And they snickered and laughed, and made fun of it, and scoffed, and the whole world system fell apart, in that day, and they was drowned beneath the seas. That’s right. Why? They rejected the message of the hour.

  63-1127 - The World Is Again Falling Apart

6 Now, I’m not trying to usurp authority or something like that, but, you see, a man or anything with two heads to it, it—it doesn’t know how to go. God never did have two heads to His Church, He never did, it’s one head. He always dealt in every generation as we’ve studied through the Scriptures, there’s always one individual that He deals with. Because you get two men, you got two opinions. And it’s got to come to one final absolute, and my absolute is the Word, the Bible. And as a pastor here of the church, my absolute is the Word, and I want…I know you, our brothers, you kind of look to me to be your absolute to what…as long as I follow God as Paul said in the Scripture, “You follow me, as I follow Christ.”

  63-1226 - Church Order

123 Watch now, we find out, the same cause, that today, that they reject, the churches reject the Message, crucify the Word, take the Word out. Now if you don’t belong to it, you can’t even—you can’t even have your church. They’ll close it down. You’ve got to come into it. If you don’t do it, you’re closed down. Then what about it? Oh, stand for That which is right! Remember, it’s crucifixion time again, nearly.

86 Now! But I would…If people say, “Well then, Brother Branham, you don’t believe we ought to speak with tongues?” See? Then you get exactly backwards what I’ve just said. Sure, I believe you should speak with tongues. And some of you people…See? But you get these, and…I get these, like back here this fifteen hundred miles (you see?), being here at the tabernacle. Just, if you don’t understand it, then ask me. See? Write it back to me if you don’t understand. Just say what I say here. See? And I…And you…As Paul said, “You follow me as I follow Christ.” You see? Then you see I’m wrong, then get away from me, see, that’s all, ’cause I’d—I’d be the wrong person. See?
