People are often interested in whether any of William Branham's prophecies came to pass. However, this is not how we are to judge a prophet. The scriptural test of a prophet is clearly outlined by Moses in Deuteronomy 18:20-22: | |||
:''But if any prophet presumes to speak anything in my name that I have not authorized him to speak, or speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet must die. Now if you say to yourselves, ‘How can we tell that a message is not from the LORD?’ — w'''henever a prophet speaks in my name and the prediction is not fulfilled, then I have not spoken it; the prophet has presumed to speak it, so you need not fear him.'''”<ref>Biblical Studies Press, The NET Bible First Edition; Bible. English. NET Bible.; The NET Bible (Biblical Studies Press, 2005), Dt 18:20–22.</ref> | |||
The question that must be asked is - Did any of William Branham's prophecies clearly fail. IF we can find a single prophecy or "Thus Saith the Lord" that failed, then William Branham MUST be rejected as a prophet from a biblical standpoint. | |||
William Branham agreed that prophecy must be judged to see if it was true: | |||
:''I said, "Now, sir, the Bible said, 'If there be one among you spiritual or the prophet, and if what he said comes to pass, then hear him, if it doesn't...'" And I took four outstanding prophecies of Jehovah Witness, and showed him that none of had come to pass. Every one of them failed.<ref>William Branham, 57-0623 - Believe From The Heart, para. 126</ref> | |||
Additionally, we have indicated below whether a prophecy was "before the fact" or "after the fact." If the first telling of a prophecy or vision occurred after the prophecied event had taken place, this would be considered an '''"after the fact" prophecy'''. In order to be classified as a true prophecy, the prophecy must be '''publicly recorded''' '''"before the fact" (that is, before the fulfillment of the prophecy occurs)'''. | |||
