But some followers of William Branham's message admit that there are visions that were left unfulfilled at the time of his death. However, they are not prepared to admit that William Branham was not a true prophet. Their method of dealing with the unfulfilled visions is to hold to a doctrine that William Branham will return from the dead prior to the rapture to fulfill all of the visions that remain unfulfilled. Of course, there is no scriptural basis for this, but it does demonstrate the reality of [[Cognitive Dissonance|cognitive dissonance]] in message believers. They are prepared to ignore the clear instructions in Deuteronomy 22:18 because of their firm belief that William Branham was a true prophet. | But some followers of William Branham's message admit that there are visions that were left unfulfilled at the time of his death.
