Early one morning, William Branham saw a vision of him shooting a deer-like animal with 42 inch antlers, and then a silver-tip grizzly. In the vision, there was a wall of shale he had to go around, a man with a green checkered shirt, and young hands holding a tape-measure to the horns. | Early one morning, William Branham saw a vision of him shooting a deer-like animal with 42 inch antlers, and then a silver-tip grizzly.

As it turns out, [[Rev.

Edward Byskal|Ed Byskal]] had told his wife to throw out his green checkered shirt before the hunting trip (unaware of the prophecy), but she packed the shirt anyways. Blaine Southwick, who was 18 at the time, ended up holding the tape measure at the bottom of the caribou horns. Bud Southwick unrolled the tape measure, and as the tape touched the end of the horn, said "its 42 inches." Within seconds, three friends fulfilled a prophecy that each of them had completely forgot about. | ||
As part of the prophecy, William Branham also shot a silver-tip Grizzly bear. Although Bud had never seen a silver-tip grizzley in the area, he now knew better than to doubt the prophecy. They soon spotted a silver-tip two miles away, and before dark William Branham shot the bear and completed the prophecy. | As part of the prophecy, William Branham also shot a silver-tip Grizzly bear.

William Branham replied, "I have a THUS SAITH THE LORD for you. Go get your brother from Fort Saint John, bring him up on the highway here. The first time he falls into an epileptic fit, jerk his shirt off of his back. I'll give you something to do. Throw it in the fire and say, 'This I do in the Name of Jesus Christ.'" | William Branham replied, "I have a THUS SAITH THE LORD for you.
