 ::Now if you say to yourselves, ‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’ — whenever a prophet speaks in my name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.” (Dt 18:21–22)

 ::William Branham wrote about Mussolini in his book of prophecies, and retold this prophecy at least 15 times between 1953 and 1964. We expected this prophecy to be consistent throughout this 11 year period (as it was written down), but found this was not the case. You can read about the changes to this prophecy over time at http://en.believethesign.com/index.php?title=Mussolini_invades_Ethiopia

+::William Branham said that his 1933 visions were written down on a piece of old yellow paper. Yet when he retold the visions, they would change and become more specific over time. In 1953, he said he had a vision of egg-shaped cars (no mention of cars driving themselves). By 1961 he said the vision was of a glass-topped, egg-shaped car with a family inside playing cards. This description is very similar to an add published by Newsweek in 1956, which may have been why William Branham said in 1960 "They've already got that out; I seen it here not long ago."  Read more at http://en.believethesign.com/index.php?title=Driverless_Cars

+::William Branham said that the morality of American women would decline, and that this was a prophecy he saw in 1933. Although William Branham mentioned the 1933 vision many times during his sermons, he never mentioned the part about morality until 1964 when he said he saw the prophecy fulfilled in a Life Magazine photograph. ~ http://en.believethesign.com/index.php/Morality

+::In Pharaoh's court stood Jacob - an old man of 130 years of age - and Joseph, his lost son, rushed to embrace him. As it turned out, Joseph was second in command over all of Egypt. Everywhere Jacob went with his son - in the palace, through the streets in his chariot - people bowed to Joseph in respect and awe (see Genesis 46 and 47).
+::When Pharaoh asked Jacob how old he was, he answered, "The days of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and thirty years: few and evil have the days of the years of my life been" (Genesis 47:9). The Hebrew reads, "Few and sorrowful have my days been." In short: "I've seen a lot of suffering."
+::Yet, was it worth it? Yes, absolutely! Jacob and his family had been delivered from the famine. All seventy members of his clan were now safe from harm, planted in the richest farmland in Egypt. Jacob's son was on the throne and they had all the food they could eat.
+::Jacob - a man with a contrite heart - could look back and say, "When my brother Esau threatened me, it seemed my life was over but God brought me out. My Lord was there the whole time. When Laban tried to destroy me, God blessed and delivered me. Furthermore, the Lord delivered my wife, Rachel, and my family from the perils of idolatry.
+::"I was victorious over all my enemies. None of them ever rose up to challenge me. I lived to see my seed multiply and prosper - the beginnings of a great nation. I lived to walk in the midst of my grandchildren, even my great-great-grandchildren. And now my sons will be the patriarchs of Israel, leaders over their own tribes.

 ::In 1965 William Branham said that the world was square, based on Rev. 7:1 and what he read in a newspaper article. In the past, we would have disregarded this as a "human error". However, VOG teaches this to message children as an "amazing and interesting fact" in the "Did you know?" blog on their website at http://youngfoundations.org/20096620_Did_You_Know_18 . Our question is, why should someone listen to VOG when they teach about William Branham or how to get to heaven, if they can't be honest with facts? If you believe the world is square because the Bible says it has four corners, please explain Leviticus 19:27.

 ::William Branham said that Jesus came to magnify the law. Is this true? Why was it that on the day that the Law was given 3,000 people died but on the same day, the day of Pentecost, 3,000 people came to life when the church was born?

+*September 20, 2012
+::Paul says, "The law is spiritual." What does that mean?
+::If the law were physical, then it could be satisfied by works, but since it is spiritual, no one can satisfy it unless everything he does springs from the depths of the heart. But no one can give such a heart except the Spirit of God, who makes the person be like the law, so that he actually conceives a heartfelt longing for the law and henceforward does everything, not through fear or coercion, but from a free heart. Such a law is spiritual since it can only be loved and fulfilled by such a heart and such a spirit. If the Spirit is not in the heart, then there remains sin, aversion and enmity against the law, which in itself is good, just and holy. How can anybody prepare himself for good by means of works if he does no good work except with aversion and constraint in his heart? How can such a work please God, if it proceeds from an averse and unwilling heart?
+::It is the Holy Spirit, however, who puts such eagerness of unconstrained love into the heart. But the Spirit is given only in, with, and through faith in Jesus Christ. So, too, faith comes only through the word of God, the Gospel, that preaches Christ: how he is both Son of God and man, how he died and rose for our sake. That is why faith alone makes someone just and fulfills the law; faith it is that brings the Holy Spirit through the merits of Christ.
+::The Spirit, in turn, renders the heart glad and free, as the law demands. Then good works proceed from faith itself.
+::The question and answers above are all taken from the Preface to Romans, by Martin Luther.
