 In 1963 Demos Shakarian's sister, Florence, was diagnosed with cancer. Although she was only 39, the cancer had advanced to a stage where her doctors couldn't stop it.
-William Branham tells a story of how he foretold that Florence Shakarian would die from her illness and not be healed.
+William Branham tells a story of how he foretold that Florence Shakarian would die from her illness and not be healed.  This prophecy was given in advance and appears to be the only prophecy that we are aware of that can be proved to have been made before the fact.
 =Problems with the prophecy=
-As with many of William Branham's prophecies and visions, this one was '''not told publicly until AFTER its fulfillment.'''  As such, it cannot be considered a valid prophecy.
+William Branham only made this prophecy after her doctors told her that she would die from '''terminal inoperable cancer'''.  This is not a very bold prophecy.
-Additionally, how hard is it to predict that someone will die when they have already received a diagnosis from a doctor that they have '''terminal inoperable cancer'''?
+However, William Branham is also specifically vague in that he left an "out" (a possibility that his prophecy might not come to pass) when he said:
+:''And I said, "Pray, just pray. You know there's... A prophet one time was told to go tell a king put his house in order. And he prayed, and He spared his life, fifteen years longer." I said, "Pray."''
+So William Branham certainly covered all possible bases with this prophecy, which simply confirmed her doctor's statement.

+'''February 17, 1965'''
+:''Then I had to come to that family, with '''THUS SAITH THE LORD, their daughter is going to die''', too. Florence, I saw her in a vision, saw her go. '''And I know she is going. And I said, "Pray, just pray. You know there's... A prophet one time was told to go tell a king put his house in order. And he prayed, and He spared his life, fifteen years longer."

 :''Good morning, friends. I am... This of the Shakarian family, Brother Williams and Sister Williams and many of them here know about it. I saw that in a vision, about two to three years before she got sick, and it happened.
-And last year when we were here, I believe it was in January, at the convention, it was the time that that priest (what's his name? I forget his name now) was here. [Someone says, "Stanley."--Ed.] Stanley, Bishop Stanley, from the Catholic church. You remember when he brought me the Bible, you know, and he said to me.

-It was several prophesying, "My daughter, you are healed."
-And he knew that the vision had said that she would not get well. "She would die between two and three o'clock in the morning." Remember that? [Someone says, "Yes."--Ed.] So, two or three o'clock.
+:''It was several prophesying, "My daughter, you are healed."
-And I couldn't tell Demos. And yet I told her stepmother, right over in the room, right across the place here. I said, "She isn't going to get well."

+:''And I couldn't tell Demos. And yet I told her stepmother, right over in the room, right across the place here. I said, "She isn't going to get well."
-I said, "Course, I could be wrong, myself, but I said it. She isn't going to get well."  I told many of them, about three years ago, "I saw her running for her life, and she went into a bed. And she raised her hands and screamed to me, like that. And I--I couldn't even reach her. And then I seen her die. And I looked, and there was something, there was a clock, and it said it's something between two and three o'clock."
