 :b. Both books indicate that Kenneth Hagin had the prophecy in writing. However, it appears that Kenneth Hagin kept a written copy of the prophecy as his recollection of the prophecy is very specific.  On the other hand, it appears that Freda Lindsay is recalling the conversation between Kenneth Hagin and her husband from the account written in her diary and it is therefore not as specific as she does not refer to the exact wording of the prophecy.
-. There is a scriptural principal, found in Deut. 19:15, Matthew 18:16, and II Cor 13:1, that evidence established by two or more witnesses should be regarded.  Apart from the fact that the two prophecies are not identical, the combined testimonies of Kenneth Hagin and Freda Lindsay point to the conclusion that prior to William Branham’s death, a prophecy was made that he would die before the end of 1965.

There is a scriptural principal, found in Deut. 19:15, Matthew 18:16, and II Cor 13:1, that evidence established by two or more witnesses should be regarded.  Apart from the fact that the two prophecies are not identical, the combined testimonies of Kenneth Hagin and Freda Lindsay point to the conclusion that prior to William Branham’s death, '''a prophecy was made that he would die before the end of 1965'''.
-. The two versions of the prophecy also differ on the timing of the error that William Branham would make:
+. The comments made by Kenneth Hagin and Freda Lindsay, describing the situation in which the prophecy was given to Gordon Lindsay, generally agree with each other and, therefore, substantiate the fact that the prophecy was made in January 1964.  This conclusion is based on the scriptural principle of two witnesses as discussed earlier.
-:a. Freda Lindsay’s recollection of the prophecy was that William Branham would be '''''“taken in death because he was getting into error”.'''''
+. The interpretation of the prophecy as contained in each book is not necessarily correct, as it is based on each author’s perspective and personal biases.
-:b. Kenneth Hagin’s retelling of the prophecy stated that '''''“He’ll make a false step and Satan shall destroy his life.”'''''
-In Mrs. Lindsay’s version, William Branham was going to be judged for error that he was already involved in.  In Kenneth Hagin’s version, William Branham was going to die as a result of a false step that he would make in the future.
-If Kenneth Hagin’s version is the more accurate of the two, then William Branham had not yet made the “fatal false step” at the time the prophecy was made in January 1964.
-If Freda Lindsay’s account is the more accurate then it raises the question as to why this prophecy was made in 1964 and not 1954, which based on audio recordings is the first year that William Branham referred to himself as the forerunner of the second coming. (W. Branham, Sermon: How the Angel Came to Me and His Commission, January 17, 1955, Par. 71-1)
-. The comments made by Kenneth Hagin and Freda Lindsay, describing the situation in which the prophecy was given to Gordon Lindsay, generally agree with each other and, therefore, substantiate the fact that the prophecy was made in January 1964.  This conclusion is based on the scriptural principle of two witnesses as discussed earlier.
-. Freda Lindsay probably quoted the prophecy from memory, while Kenneth Hagin likely had a copy of the prophecy written down for his own records.  As a result, Kenneth Hagin’s version of the prophecy appears more accurate while Freda Lindsay’s version is likely a paraphrased version based on her recollection of the event as transcribed in her diary.
-. The interpretation of the prophecy as contained in each book is not necessarily correct, as it is based on each author’s perspective and personal biases.
-. The source of the prophecy, being Kenneth Hagin, should not bring disrepute to the prophecy even though Kenneth Hagin later involved himself in questionable teachings and practices (i.e., holy laughter).  There are instances in the Bible of prophecies made by people who later made wrong decisions.  At the time this prophecy was made in January 1964, Kenneth Hagin did the right thing by bringing it in front of other spiritual men to judge.
