In | In 1953, Branham started claiming to have had a vision describing this shape of a car. Also, during sermons, Branham claimed that the shape had become common — reminding listeners of how the early automobiles were designed. His original intent was to describe a prophecy that listeners would see as already fulfilled. | ||
Over time, this motive changed. As technology increased, and automobiles no longer styled themselves like the VW Bug, Branham added additional details to this prophecy. From rounded glass tops to self-guidance systems, this prophecy of a car shaped like an egg began to take other forms pointing to future innovation. For details of this, see our article on [[Driverless Cars]]. | Over time, this motive changed.
