=Where did William Branham say he got his revelation from?=


Line 163: Line 163:
William Branham gave the same essentials interpretation of the sixth seal as Clarence Larkin. They both explained it to be the judgement of God carried out at the end of the world immediately preceding the return of Christ. Why did William Branham claim that this revelation was given to him through a supernatural experience? Is it just a coincidence that what God supernaturally revealed to him identically matches a book in his library that he made regular references to in other sermons?

William Branham opens the Sixth Seal with a modified retelling of '''Max Brand’s 1920 story “A Sagebrush Cinderella”. '''


He also continues taking the bulk of his sermon notes directly from the writings of [[Plagiarism|Clarence Larkin]].  Here is a comparison:
In addition to plagiarizing the comparison of Matthew 24 to Revelation 6, William Branham also takes a few other things from the writings of [[Plagiarism|Clarence Larkin]]:

|Now, I want you to hold your Book like this: '''Matthew 24 and Revelations 6''', like this, and let's compare something here just a little bit. So watch this now, and you can find out just how--how it is. See, what the Lamb here is showing exactly in symbol what He said over here in Word, doing exactly. So that makes it right. Now, that's--that's all there is to it. Here's--here's one; He's talking of it, and here's where it happens. See? '''It's just a perfect vindication.'''
|In Isaiah, let's take this. Isaiah the prophet seen this Sixth Seal open and spoke of it...  Let's just... I like this--this of Isaiah. Let's go back here to Isaiah, the '''13th chapter of Isaiah'''. I like...
|At this point it will be interesting to '''compare''', as on the next three pages, Christ’s “Olivet Discourse” ('''Matt. 24:1–30'''), with the “Six Seals” of '''Rev. 6:1–17'''. The similarity between them is most striking, and proves that the author of the “Olivet Discourse” foreknew, in the “Days of His Flesh,” in their exact order, the things that shall come to pass in the “Day of the Lord.” This is indisputable evidence of the Deity of Jesus.

|Notice, just exactly like come over there: "And the sun became as black as sackcloth..." See? Same thing, these happenings of nature. What was it? What, when nature happens like this, has been? God calling Israel. (See?) God's calling out Israel. Now, "sun as black as hair..."
|When the “SIXTH SEAL” was broken John tells us that there was a “GREAT EARTHQUAKE,” and the “SUN BECAME BLACK AS SACKCLOTH OF HAIR,” and the “MOON BECAME AS BLOOD,” and the “STARS OF HEAVEN FELL TO THE EARTH,” and the “HEAVEN DEPARTED AS A SCROLL,” and “EVERY MOUNTAIN AND ISLAND WERE MOVED OUT OF THEIR PLACE.”

|In Isaiah, let's take this. Isaiah the prophet seen this Sixth Seal open and spoke of it...  Let's just... I like this--this of Isaiah. Let's go back here to Isaiah, the 13th chapter of Isaiah. I like...
|In '''Isa. 13:9–10''', we read—“Behold the ‘DAY OF THE LORD’ cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate, and He shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it. For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall NOT GIVE THEIR LIGHT, the sun shall be DARKENED in his going forth, and the moon shall not CAUSE HER LIGHT TO SHINE.”

For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall NOT GIVE THEIR LIGHT, the sun shall be DARKENED in his going forth, and the moon shall not CAUSE HER LIGHT TO SHINE.”

|Matthew, '''27th chapter of Matthew and the--the 45th verse''', I believe it is.  Now, from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour.  Now, notice just exactly what He did back here now in this. See? And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal,... lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon--and the moon became as blood; Blackness, darkness: Egypt--blackness, darkness, God delivering Jesus at the cross, just 'fore He brought Him up from the resurrection...

|Such physical phenomena and changes have happened before. We must not forget the “GREAT DARKNESS” that for 3 days overspread '''Egypt''' in the days before the Exodus (Ex. 10:21–23), nor the “DARKNESS” that settled over Jerusalem and Calvary on the day of the Crucifixion of Christ. '''Matt. 27:45'''.
