Despite this, most people in Christian churches today have never heard of William Branham.  While he was well known in the 1940's and '50's, today most people in and out of churches have never heard of him.  Compare this to the ministry of Jesus Christ. Jesus was not known outside of Israel at the time of his death, but within 30 years after his resurrection, the new Christian church came under the direct persecution of the Roman emperor Nero in A.D. 64. If the message really was the “restoration of the Word”, one would think that modern persecution would be marked and dramatic.
