William Branham stated that after he finished teaching on the Seven Church ages: | |||
:''...that Angel of the Lord, that Light, It come right in before three hundred people, moved Itself right over on the wall, and drawed with that round Light, just the way I drawed the churches, and showed exactly the same depths and everything, as it went through, while three hundred people screaming, and crying, and looking at It on the side of the wall. Why, It stood out here, and reflected Itself on the wall and made that same thing.<ref>William Branham, 61-0208 - Sirs, We Would See Jesus, para. 11</ref> | |||
But multiple people who were there said what they saw was the reflection of the headlights of a car coming through the window. The light simply went across the wall as the car turned. No one even thought it drew the picture at the time. Brother Branham and people just started to say it afterwards. There were a couple of people who did scream in the back when it happened, as thought it was something supernatural. | |||
