''How Doctor Dowie, in his death, prophesied that I would come to that city forty years from the time that he died. Not knowing nothing about it, '''he died on one day, and I was borned on the next.''' And forty years to the day I entered the city, not knowing nothing about it. Oh, how God's great move is coming together. I hear the sound of abundance of rain.<ref>William Branham, 51-0929 - Our Hope Is In God, para. 8</ref> | |||

''So this woman—I said, "What would you want?" She said, "Sir, did you know you were borned under a—a sign?" Quickly, that scared me. I said, "I don't know nothing about that, and I don't want to know nothing about it." | |||
''She said, "Haven't you never talked to preachers?" I said, "I have no use for them. I—I don't go around where any of that's at." | |||
''I said, "I don't want to hurt your feelings, but I don't want to hear anything you have to say." She said, "Sir, that's not a gentleman." And I turned to her again, I said, "How did you know that?" She said, "When you got on the bus, I seen it." | |||

''I said, "I know nothing about it." And I turned around again. It kindy made me feel bad, because there's many people on the bus, and me an officer. And so I thought that wasn't gentleman like. So she called me—kept calling me. And I turned around again; I said, "What's that got to do with me?" | |||

She said, "They're astronomers that watch the heavens, and before God does anything on earth, He declares it in the heavens." And she said… I—I said, "I don't know nothing of it." | |||
She said, "But when God gives a gift, He declares it in the heavens." I—I said, "I know nothing about it." And she said, "You were borned under that sign." And she said, "What if I tell you when you were born, would—would you believe me?" | |||
I said, "Lady, you can't read my mind. I won't believe it." And she said, "'''You were born on April the 6th, 1909, at five o'clock in the morning."''' She said, "That's when certain stars," she said, "crossed or something." (Or astronomy.) And I said, "I don't know nothing about it, and care less." So she said, "You may pass it by," but said, "if you would respect it, it would shake the world." | |||
