 {{Church ages}}
-The book of Revelation holds the mystery through prophecy of the Christian Church since the time of Christ.  In the book of Revelation, an Angel spoke to John about seven churches, listing their positive and negative attributes.
+Ages.
-William Branham taught that an Angel spoke to him and revealed that each of these churches represents a different period in the history of Christianity, each with a special messenger to the church of that day.
+Its a small word.  It seems harmless enough.  But it's extra.
+Revelation 1:11 is addressed from the '''"Alpha and Omega"''' to '''"the seven churches which are in Asia."'''
+The problem with William Branham's doctrine is that:
+*Few of the Church Age Messengers lived in Asia.
+*The word "Ages" is extra.  Revelation 22:18 says, "If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book."
+So Ages may be a small word, but it's scary.  Go there at your own risk.
+==Where is Asia?==
+Asia Minor, and all of the cities where these churches were located, is located in the country of Turkey.
+*Paul grew up in Asia Minor, and established the church in Ephesus.
+*Irenaeus was born in Smyrna, then moved to France.
+*Martin was born in Hungary, then moved to France.
+*Columba was born in Ireland, then moved to Scotland.
+*Martin Luther lived in Germany.
+*John Wesley lived in England.
+*William Branham lived in the United States.
+Other than Irenaeus and Paul, none of these individuals set foot in Asia.
+==Who is Clarence Larkin?==
+William Branham took his teaching on the church ages directly from Clarence Larkin, who wrote a book about the Book of Revelation.  To see exactly what William Branham [[Plagiarism|plagiarized from Clarence Larkin, please click on this link.]]
