During this sermon, William Branham identifies the Black horse rider as vicar over the trinity of earth, purgatory, and heaven. This rider makes other people pay to enter heaven, pay for prayers, pray for “novenas” and “hail Mary’s”. William Branham calls the oil and wine the Holy Spirit, and the stimulation of Revelation. The rider is instructed not to touch these things. In other words, there will be no forced conversions or attempted conversions of true believers during this time. | During this sermon, William Branham identifies the Black horse rider as vicar over the trinity of earth, purgatory, and heaven.
