William Branham stated that the prophecy was written down (which we do not believe), so each retelling of it should have been consistent.  Changes include whether an ism would burn the Vatican, whether communism would wind up in Rome, and whether these isms represented the three unclean spirits of Revelation 16:13 – none of which made it into the Church Ages book.

*1953: Three isms will wind up in one ism, which will burn the Vatican City. <ref> ''And I said, "There'll be three great isms, Communism, Fascism, and Nazism." And I said, "They'll wind up in one ism, and that one ism will dominate the world and will burn the Vatican City." You remember me saying that years and years and years ago. And just exactly that way.'' (March 26, 1936, Jeffersonville, Indiana)</ref>

*1954: Three isms will head into one ism (the king of the north), that will bring a persecution that would send Jesus Christ to the earth again.  <ref>''There'll be three isms. And they'd all heap up in one ism, and that ism will bring forth a persecution that would send Jesus Christ to the earth again." That's exactly so. That was Communism, and--and Hitler and--and Nazi, and so forth; and how that Fascism of Mussolini, and Hitler, and Stalin. I said, "One of them will take the place of it. I don't know which one it'll be, but I believe it'll be the king of the north."'' (January 3, 1954, Jeffersonville, Indiana)</ref>

*1955: Three isms are three unclean spirits, that will wind up in Communism, that will burn the Vatican City. <ref>''Going to Sunday school one morning, I was caught away in a vision. And I said, "Now..." Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, I said, "Now, there's going to be three great isms. Which is now in existence. One of them is in Rome, which is--is Fascism, and one of them is in Germany which is Nazi--Nazism. And the other one is in Russia, which is communism." I said, "Those three great isms is the unclean spirits that went out of the mouth of the false prophet, and the dragons, and so forth that will unite themselves together, speaking things that they should not, and they'll all beat at one another, until they'll finally wind up in one ism. And I predict that that will be communism. And communism will burn the Vatican city.'' (May 1, 1955, Chicago, Illinois)</ref>
