William Branham preached a sermon called “I was not disobedient to the heavenly vision” (July 18, 1949) in which he does not mention this vision. Rather, he says during this sermon, “That truly a supernatural Being came to me and made these statements, and I have not been disobedient to the heavenly vision.” His sermon called “Angel of God” (November 11, 1947) was the first sermon in which he tells of the Angels’ commission.

As in that vision, many years ago, where that big curtain laid in the West, and a mountain of the Bread of Life; the little book, "I Was Not Disobedient To The Heavenly Vision." And here it all comes to pass, revealed right in our face.'' (Is This The Sign Of The End, Sir? (1962-12-30)) | #''And I've done all I know how to do, Lord, to feed them on the Bread of Life.
