William Branham said that this was one of the prophecies that he had written down in his book of prophecies. In other words, it was accurate because he took the time to write it down, and did not have to rely on his memory. | |||
However, William Branham ate eggs, fed them to his children, and lived in the Ohio river valley. He also ate a lot of food with eggs in them, like pancakes. | |||
When asked about this prophecy in 1964 (see above), he said ''“it’s written in the scripture that no food should be received without it being received with thanksgiving, for it’s sanctified by the Word of God and prayer.”'' In other words, you can ignore his prophecy if you pray over your food and where to live. | |||
Based on this explanation, how are any of the 1933 prophecies relevant for someone who is following the scripture? | |||
===William Branham retells the prophecy=== | |||
:''Do you remember years ago when I first, when we had the little bitty structure here, and I was prophesying, and said, "It shall come to pass in the last days, don't live in a valley and don't eat eggs." I've got it on my book. I thought there was something about that, and I went and looked at it. "Don't eat eggs." That was way back in 1933. Eggs has got something in them now, and I see where science says that a man over fifty years old should never eat an egg, because it's the hardest thing on a heart that can be eaten. Diseases!''

:''But here's where you get it, my brother. I believe with all my heart that it's written in the Scripture that--that no food should be received without it be received with thanksgiving, for it's sanctified by the Word of God and prayer. See? If you eat it, say, "Lord Jesus, You prepared the food for me. Now, with faith I sanctify this food to the strength of our bodies." Then eat it, for in all we do is by faith. | :''But here's where you get it, my brother.
