This might have been theoretically possible when William Branham was alive if the Vatican had a sufficient amount of gold (but they didn't as indicated above). this was because of the "Bretton Woods" system of monetary management which established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the United States, Canada, Western European countries, Australia, and Japan under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement. The chief features of the Bretton Woods system were an obligation for each country to adopt a monetary policy that maintained its external exchange rates within 1 percent by tying its currency to gold. | This might have been theoretically possible when William Branham was alive if the Vatican had a sufficient amount of gold (but they didn't as indicated above). this was because of the "Bretton Woods" system of monetary management which established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the United States, Canada, Western European countries, Australia, and Japan under the 1944 Bretton Woods Agreement.

William | William Branham's prophecy relating to the Roman Catholic church "calling in all the money" because of its massive gold reserves is a false prophecy. It could not happen today because: | ||

Since what William Branham prophesied could not happen, it is clear his prophecy is false. | |||
