This statement seems to have brought confusion to some of the commentators and bloggers as they don't understand his reference which appears to be to and oblique reference to the Book of Revelation in the Bible:


:''And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.  By its light will the nations walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it,  and its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there.  They will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations.<ref>The Holy Bible: English Standard Version (Wheaton: Standard Bible Society, 2001), Re 21:23–26.</ref>


“There is a move in the message, of blacks marrying whites, whites marrying blacks. And folks think that is alright, but you know, my God still has nationalities outside the city.
Followers of William Branham's message believe that they are the Bride of Christ and dwell in the city while those Christians that are not in the elite group (read - anyone not following William Branham) will be part of the nations outside the city.
