Rattlesnake Mesa: Difference between revisions

*Exactly Northeast of Flagstaff, or Prescott. <ref>And they took that picture, you know, in the sky. And I didn't think much about it, never noticed it.  So it begin to impress me somehow the other day. And Brother Norman, Norma's father here, told me, said, "Did you notice this?" And just as I looked, right there was them angels just as plain as they could be, setting right there in that picture. You see? I looked to see when it was, and it was time, same 'bout day or two before or, day or two after I was up there. I looked where it was at: northeast of Flagstaff, or Prescott, which is below Flagstaff. Well, that's just where we was at (See?), just exactly. (sermon “Come Follow Me” (June 1, 1963))</ref>

*Exactly forty miles north of Tucson, upon Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest. <ref>And it shall be Light at the evening time upon Sunset Mountain in the Coronado Forest, forty miles north of Tucson. Get on the map and see if Sunset Peak there. That's exactly where it happened. I never know it till the other day. (“What is the Attraction” (July 25, 1965)) </ref>

Based on the testimony of Gene Norman<ref>Gene Norman’s online audio testimony</ref> and Pearry Green <ref>Videos of Pearry Green’s testimony can be found on Youtube</ref>, William Branham was hunting on Rattlesnake Mesa when the Angels appeared.  Rattlesnake Mesa is about 10 miles north of Sunset Peak.

Technically, there is no place called “Sunset Mountain”, although there is an area called “Sunset” just to the east of Sunset Peak.  Rattlesnake Mesa was also where William Branham returned to in 1964, after which he told of a blast that prophesied judgment for the West Coast.  The cloud appeared north of Flagstaff, around 200 miles away from Sunset Peak.   

Another interesting fact is that there was not just one cloud, but two.  The second cloud is noted in the Life Magazine, and appears in a smaller photograph off to the north-west.
