==The "suicide" theory== | ==The "suicide" theory== | ||
This theory holds that William Branham did not have the correct interpretation of the municipal bridge vision: | |||
#William Branham was living in Arizona during the construction of the bridge and so was not aware that there were only 2 fatalities in the construction of the bridge. | |||
#He was also confused by stories relating to the construction of the Big Four Bridge in which a number of people did die. | |||
#Based on these bad facts, he incorrectly interpreted the vision. | |||
#The correct interpretation of the vision is found in the fact that many people have died committing suicide by jumping from the bridge. | |||
The problem with this "interpretation" of the vision is that it ignores some of the details that William Branham provided with respect to the vision: | |||
:''...Sixteen men dropped off in—into the water and perished. And '''I seen a big sign, it said “twenty-two years.”''' I run in and told my mother. Oh, she said, “Son, you’re nervous. You went to sleep and you were dreaming.” I said, “No. No. I saw it.” So they wrote it down on a piece of paper. And twenty-two years from then, the great bridge crossed the river, and twen—sixteen men dropped off of it and—and drowned in the river. Every time, it’s perfect.<ref>55-0626A - My Life Story</ref> | |||
William Branham saw a big sign that said "twenty-two years." | |||
As a result, we must conclude that this flawed attempt to "correctly" interpret the vision also fails to answer the fundamental problems with any proposed theory for the fulfillment of the vision. | |||
