William Branham stated numerous times that Capernaum was destroyed by an earthquake and sunk into the sea. | |||
:''And Jesus stood, and said, “Capernaum, if Sodom would have had the works done in it that you’ve had done in you, it would have been standing today. But now you must be brought down to hell!” And about two hundred or three hundred years after His prophecy, with all them coastal towns, every one of them still standing but Capernaum, and it lays in the bottom of the sea. An earthquake sunk it into the sea. And then prophesying, “Los Angeles will be in the bottom of the sea.”<ref>65-0711 – Ashamed, para. 51</ref> | |||
Capernaum was a fishing village of about 1,500 people on the northwestern shore of the Sea of Gallilee. Matthew 4:13 tells us that Jesus left Nazareth and went to live in Capernaum after his temptation in the wilderness. | |||
In Matthew 8:14-16, we read that Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law while in Capernaum and Mark 2:1-12 tells of a paralyzed man who was healed in Capernaum after his friends lowered him through the roof. | |||
Capernaum is now a tourist attraction in nothern Israel. Notably, there is a small church there built on top of the supposed remains of the house where Peter lived. I visited Capernaum in 2013 and it is definitely not at the bottom of the sea. | |||
But message minister Tim Pruitt of Louisiana didn’t check the facts. Here is the result of his bad research: | |||
:''"...and Capernaum is in the bottom of the sea." | |||
This is simply not true. And I’m not the only one who has been to Capernaum. Here is Donny Reagan from Johnson City, Tennessee, contradicting William Branham and Ron Spencer: | |||
:''"...and seen... we seen not long ago at the city of Capernaum. And they dug down so many feet down below of the surface of the earth there. And there were gigantic stones that had been hewed out. And they dated back to the very original synagogue that the Lord Jesus was thrown out of in Capernaum. | |||
More importantly, William Branham used his fabricated story of the sinking of Capernaum as a basis for his prophecy that Los Angeles would also sink to the bottom of the sea. | |||
“Oh, Capernaum, thou who callest yourself by the name of the angels, Los Angeles!” See what’s happening? She is going right on to the bottom of the sea.” 65-0725M, para. 127 | |||
If William Branham was completely wrong about Capernaum, why would he be right about the sinking of Los Angeles? | |||
If the basis of his prophecy was false, why would his prophecy be true? | |||
