=Correspondence with Billy Paul= | |||
The following letter was sent to Billy Paul Branham on January 28, 2017: | |||
:''Dear Billy Paul Branham, | |||
:''I am James Manuel from Cape Town, South Africa. I came in contact with the message of Brother Branham in late 1972, and was baptised in the name of Jesus Christ according to Acts 2:38 early in 1973. Since then I enhanced and believed the End Time Message of Brother Branham with all my heart. | |||
:''My wife, Crystal knew nothing else as she was only a young child when her parents accepted the message. My children were raised in the message and they knew nothing else. | |||
:''I left the message in 2012 after a 5 year search for answers which never came. The only responses I got from everyone I communicated with, including Joseph Branham, was robotic in nature. In other words, I had to ignore what I saw, and accept the evident discrepancies in the words and/or message as truth by faith, because Brother Branham said so. | |||
:''You are probably in the most favorable position to answer this question which bother me in no uncertain terms. I heard you tell the story of how you and your dad were standing in front of May's department store in downtown Los Angeles. You dad wanted to know from you where you were standing, and you replied, "Downtown LA", to which he replied, "be more specific". You said, "in front of May's Department Store", to which he replied, "Billy, I may be gone, but before you are an old man, sharks will swim where you stand." | |||
:''Brother Billy, you are over 80 and definitely not a young man any longer. Do you still feel it will happen as you told us all those years? Or.....is it a story you invented to keep us loyal and expecting? | |||
:''It is important for us to know because if it is the truth you told....it would mean Brother Branham gave a false prophecy. If it was not the truth, you have a responsibility to set the record straight. | |||
:''I trust that you will get this letter, and that we shall see a response from you personally to put this prophecy/story to rest. | |||
:''Thank you in advance for your favorable response. | |||
:''God bless you. | |||
:''Your brother in Christ, | |||
