William Branham claimed he saw a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933, which he wrote down in an old book. In the last vision, there was an explosion, and the United States was turned into ashes from coast to coast. | William Branham claimed he saw a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933, which he wrote down in an old book.

''I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.'' (Church Age Book, Chapter 9) | ''I heard a most terrible explosion. As I turned to look I saw nothing but debris, craters, and smoke all over the land of America.'' (Church Age Book, Chapter 9) | ||
=Problems with the Prophecy= | |||
In the Laodicean Church Age book, William Branham says, ''“Now let me say this. Can anyone prove any of those visions wrong? Were they not all fulfilled?”'' | |||
Almost 80 years after 1933, we now have the benefit of hindsight in our ability to confirm the accuracy of these prophecies. The prophecy was written down, so each retelling of it should have been consistent with prior retellings. However, William Branham did not mention this disaster as part of the 1933 visions until 1960, and the book of prophecies was apparently lost. '''Why didn't he mention it earlier?''' | |||

He then said that the destruction would happen after Kennedy’s election, and predicted this would happen before 1977. William Branham said that the vision was “Thus Saith The Lord”, but that 1977 was his own prediction. The Church Ages Book, however, contains a very simple prophecy of destruction that omits any reference to both Kennedy and 1977. | He then said that the destruction would happen after Kennedy’s election, and predicted this would happen before 1977.
