:''Nineteen fifty-six I prophesied in Chicago that Billy Graham that year would return and cancel his meetings. Tommy Osborn would return, and America would see its last call. And from then the revival would die. I just count back and see. We got that on record. See? And the revival is gone.<ref>William Branham, 62-0628 - A Greater Than Solomon Is Here, para. 8</ref> | :''Nineteen fifty-six I prophesied in Chicago that Billy Graham that year would return and cancel his meetings.

We have a record of everything William Branham stated about Billy Graham in Chicago: | |||
:''“Go ye into all the world; preach the Gospel to every creature.” That’s one commission. That’s right. Billy Graham, Jack Shuler, many of the other great men are doing that. <ref>William Branham, 56-0405 - The Resurrection Of Jesus?, para. 31 | :''“Go ye into all the world; preach the Gospel to every creature.” That’s one commission.

:''And I looked at the wheels turning up. I notice the great, famous evangelist, Billy Graham, he come back from overseas and he staged his meetings, New York and these great places, to hit the very nerve center, and so forth. And I see that, Brother Roberts excommunicated out of the foreign country. Mr. Arganbright wants me, after June, and them, to go into Germany, back down into South Africa and through there, but something is holding me to America. And all the others seems to be the same way. '''And I believe that America is going to get her last call, this year.''' <ref>William Branham, 56-0408A - What Is A Vision?, para. 167, Chicago</ref> | :''I’m not saying, as our Brother Billy Graham said, “Answering my critics.” I so thankful I have so few critics. | ||

:''The other day I read a letter from a sister who was with Billy Graham and them down in—in Saipan, Brother Moore’s daughter. <ref>William Branham, 56-0408E - The Time Is At Hand, para. 26 (Chicago)</ref> | |||
As a result, we can conclude William Branham never prophecied anything about Billy Graham in Chicago! He simply said, "I believe that America is going to get her last call, this year." Does that make it a prophecy that Billy Graham was going to cancel his meetings? Was it the end of Billy Graham's ministry?? Did Billy Graham cancel his meetings in 1956. | |||
Let's examine what actually happened in Billy Graham's ministry. | |||
In 1956, Billy Graham conducted at tour of In India, Taiwan, Hawaii, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea and the Philippines January 17 to March 11 | |||
In 1957, Billy Graham held the longest evangelistic crusade in his life - a '''16-week revival in New York City, where 2.3 million gathered''' at Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, and Times Square. On September 22, 1991, Graham held his largest event in North America on the Great Lawn of New York's Central Park. City officials estimated more than 250,000 in attendance. In the 10 years from 1947 through 1956, Billy Graham held 64 crusades. In the 10 years from 1957 to 1966, Graham held 119 crusades. And from 1967 until his last crusade in New York City in 2005, he held another 234 crusades, for a total of 417 crusades held during his lifetime. After 1956, when William Branham said that Billy Graham cancelled his meetings (there is no evidence that this happened in 1956 in which Graham held 3 crusades after his return from an overseas tour). | In 1957, Billy Graham held the longest evangelistic crusade in his life - a '''16-week revival in New York City, where 2.3 million gathered''' at Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, and Times Square.
