==William Branham was like Elijah==
''But I can remember when my father’s still up there running, I had to be out there with water and stuff, see young ladies that wasn’t over seventeen, eighteen years old, up there with men my age now, drunk. And they’d have to sober them up and give them black coffee, to get home to cook their husband’s supper. Oh, something like that, I said, “I…” This was my remark then,''' “They’re not worth a good clean bullet to kill them with it.”''' That’s right. '''And I hated women.''' That’s right. And I just have to watch every move now, to keep from still thinking the same thing.<ref>William Branham, 59-0419A - My Life Story, para. 87</ref>
''Take his…take the nature of Elijah. Look at Elijah; see what he was. What was he when he come in John’s time? He hated denominations: “You Pharisees, don’t think to say within yourself, ‘We have Abraham to our Father,’ because God is able of these stones to rise children to Abraham.” So did Elijah. '''Both of them hated women''', or, immoral women, and things doing wrong. Look at Elijah with Jezebel. Look at John the Baptist with Herodias. See? Both wilderness men, loved the woods, and outside. Come right out of the bushes and send forth a Message. He will come on the scene one of these days.<ref>William Branham,  61-0210 - Abraham's Covenant Confirmed, para. 39</ref>
 
'''''He will also hate fancy women!''' Elijah did: Jezebel. Is that right? John did: Herodias. Both them prophets, the Spirit, the same Spirit. They hated the denominational world, the church world. '''They hated, also, fancy, no-good women.''' They…Something in their spirit cried out against the thing! Jezebel was after Elijah’s head and was going to cut it off; and she also had John’s head cut off, Herodias did. Both of them!<ref>William Branham,  60-1211E - The Laodicean Church Age, para. 94</ref>
''Now we find out, and in this message, Isaiah 40:3 also vindicated John. He said, “A voice of one, a prophet, crying in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way of the Lord, make His paths straight.’” The church did not believe him, for he was not of their group. That prophet was raised out of a wilderness, come up knowing no one. He had the very Spirit on him that Elijah had: he was a man of the wilderness, '''he hated immoral women'''.<ref>William Branham, 65-1206 - Modern Events Are Made Clear By Prophecy, para. 222</ref>
