 :''Now, and another thing. If you'll notice, G-r-a-h-a-m is six letters. A-b-r-a-h-a-m is seven letters, and so is B-r-a-n-h-a-m seven letters. '''Now, if you're going to make that in conclusion, it might be a good thing.''' '' <ref>AUDIO.LETTER.TO.LEE.VAYLE TUCSON.AZ 64-0500</ref>

+=Why Not Oral Roberts?=
-Notice that Roberts, as in Oral Roberts, has seven letters but that did not appear to be of any consequence.
+The name "Roberts", as in Oral Roberts, also has seven letters.  However, this did not appear to be of any consequence to William Branham, who still taught that a man with a seven-lettered name was one of the angels that went down to Sodom...while he represented Elohim who stayed and discerned Abraham and Sarah's sickness.
-And, for those that think maybe Greek is the answer.  Abraham in Greek is '''Ἀβραάμ''' which has SIX letters (the number of man).  As to how you would spell either Graham or Branham in Greek or Hebrew, does anyone really think that it is of any consequence?
 :''But A-b-r-a-h-a-m, Abraham, is seven letters. Say, "There's nothing in numbers." Then you don't know the numatics of your Bible. You're sure to get it wrong now. Certainly.''  JEHOVAH JIREH 2 64-0403
