We believe the following to be an exhaustive list of quotes mentioning the 1933 visions. | |||
The first mention of the visions was in March 1953. William Branham does not state that there were seven visions and he does not mention the year in which the prophecies were given (emphasis and numbers added): | The first mention of the visions was in March 1953.

::(4) ''And after a while, that, “'''America would be ruled by a woman.'''” Mark it and see if it’s not right. A woman will take the place of a President or something, of great, some high power in America.<ref>William Branham, 56-0513 - Teaching On Moses, para. 18-21</ref> | ::(4) ''And after a while, that, “'''America would be ruled by a woman.'''” Mark it and see if it’s not right.

He waits almost a year before he mentions the prophesies again but he does not go into any detail other than to state that they were printed in a book and that there had been over a 100,000 copies printed in 17 different languages. The only book that this could be referring to would be "William Branham, A Man Sent From God" written by Gordon Lindsay in collaboration with William Branham. The problem is that, while this book contains references to other visions that William Branham had, it contains no reference to the visions of 1933. We are unaware of any other significant book that was distributed by William Branham. The question must be asked: Which book was he referring to and if it was the book, "A Man Sent From God", why did he state something that was untrue?

::(8) ''But '''there’ll be a powerful woman!''' Now, remember! This is on tape, too. A powerful woman, great woman, she’ll '''either be President, or it’ll be a woman representing the Catholic church''' (which I think it is) will take over here someday and she’ll rule this country. This nation is a woman’s nation. Flag was made by a woman, it’s number thirteen. She started out, thirteen stars, thirteen stripes, thirteen colonies. Everything’s thirteen, thirteen, thirteen, right on down. Thirteen stars on her silver dollar now. Everything’s a thirteen. It’s number thirteen, and appears in the 13th chapter of Revelation. Completely thirteen! Everything is “woman, woman, woman, woman, woman,” right on down. And she took over all the offices. She’s took over Hollywood. She’s took over the nations. She’s took over the offices. She’s took over everything there is; equal rights with the man, votes with the man, cusses like a man, drinks like a man, anything else. And just bait for the Catholic church, for the worship of a woman! They’re already worshipping a woman, anyhow.<ref>William Branham, 60-1211E - The Laodicean Church Age, para. 44-49</ref> | ::(8) ''But '''there’ll be a powerful woman!''' Now, remember!

The 1933 visions were also mentioned in the [[An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages|Church Age Book]]. Given that this book was compiled by Lee Vayle from the sermons on the seven church ages and reviewed in detail by William Branham, we would have to view this listing as being determinative. However, they must be compared to what William Branham has stated previously and any discrepancies noted from other times that William Branham stated he was reading from the list of prophecies as recorded by him in 1933. This comparison is detailed above (emphasis and numbers added): | The 1933 visions were also mentioned in the [[An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages|Church Age Book]].

:''The Laodicean Age began around the turn of the Twentieth Century, perhaps 1906. How long will it last? As a servant of God who has had multitudes of visions, of which NONE has ever failed, let me predict (I did not say prophesy, but predict) that this age will end around 1977. If you will pardon a personal note here, I base this prediction on seven major continuous visions that came to me one Sunday morning in June, 1933. The Lord Jesus spoke to me and said that the coming of the Lord was drawing nigh, but that before He came, seven major events would transpire. I wrote them all down and that morning I gave forth the revelation of the Lord. | :''The Laodicean Age began around the turn of the Twentieth Century, perhaps 1906. How long will it last?
