VICARIVS FILII DEI: Difference between revisions

Is this true? If it isn't true, then William Branham was lying.

William Branham lied when he stated that "I been right there and seen it myself".   

:''Well, it isn’t over…the Latin—the Latin words isn’t over the Vatican City; it’s over the throne of the pope, where he sits on his throne. It’s wrote up there, “VICARIVS FILII DEI.” If you wish to, in the morning, I’ll bring it wrote out, everything, and put it on a piece of paper. And if you want it, why, I’ll bring it to you in the morning. Where you can spell it out in Roman letters, VICARIVS FILII DEI, the word means “Instead of the Son of God”; he is the successor to the Son of God. 160 The Catholic church believes that “Peter was the first pope; he was the successor of Jesus Christ.” Which that’s an error! All right. Then they claim that “Every pope following him is a successor; and the pope now, that is now, is a successor of Jesus Christ.” And there it’s wrote up over there, “A successor of Jesus Christ, ‘VICARIVS FILII DEI,’” wrote on there. Take the Roman letters and just write it (X for ten, V for five, and so forth like that), as you spell “VICARIVS FILII DEI,” and draw a line, and you got six hundred and sixty-six. Write it out and find out. 161 Now, I got the Facts Of Our Faith, it’s called, in the Catholic church, ’cause my people were Irish Catholic. So I know what I’m speaking of. See? 162 And it absolutely is the truth, that’s right, that there… And the Bible said that “He’ll be sitting in a church, or a—a place, or a church that sets on seven hills in Rome, and his power will go to all the world. And he is called the antichrist.”<William Branham, 54-0515 - Questions And Answers, para. 159</ref>

:''I stood right there in the Vatican City and verified it with the Bible. The pope wearing a triple crown, Vicarivs Filii Dei, all those things which I’ve heard and so forth, it’s absolutely the truth; a religious group that governs every nation under the Heaven, and it does. There it is, it’s so.<William Branham, 57-1006 - Questions And Answers On Hebrews #3, para. 739</ref>

:''How did I know Rome set on seven hills? How did I know the pope had VICARIVS FILII DEI? Had to take somebody else’s word for it. How did I know the triple crown was on the pope; the jurisdiction of the vicar of Heaven and earth and hell? How did I know it till I went and seen it?<William Branham, 58-0928M - The Baptism Of The Holy Spirit, para. 143</ref>

:''I been right there and seen it myself, would know, up over his place (his throne, as it was) like they set the first Boniface up, the III, up at the beginning of the Catholic age here. And up over there it’s Vicarivs Filii Dei, which means “a vicar of the Son of God.” Dei, Dei, “Deity,” see. See, “The vicar of the Son of God.” In other words, “Just like the Son of God sitting here on earth,” see, “all powers to change the Bible,” change anything he wants to. Therefore, “Say ‘Hail Mary’!” What does the pope say? “We’ll have ‘Hail Mary’!” That settles it. Uh-huh, uh-hum. “Well, we’ll do so-and-so.” What the pope says, that’s it, that’s it. “A vicar instead of the Son of God.” <William Branham, 60-1211M - The Ten Virgins, And The Hundred And Forty-Four Thousand Jews, para. 234</ref>

:''Now, go on over here in Revelations 13, and show you that this man sets on a city…in a city, and the city sets on—on seven hills. And the numbers of the beast is six hundred and sixty-six, wrote out in the—in the Latin…Roman alphabet, is six hundred and sixty-six, is VICARIVS FILII DEI, which is, “In stead of the Son of God,” on a pope’s throne. And his chair, got a triple crown. And I’ve looked right at the crown, stood as close as my hand is to my face, like that, and—and seen the decked crown of the pope right there in the Vatican, myself, stood and looked at it, be sure I know what I was talking about. “He opposes, himself above all that’s called God, all the godly men. He’s the holiest of all of them; sets in the temple of God, just showing himself he is God,” forgiving sins on earth, and so forth, you know.

:''Zella Braitman, are you here tonight, Zella? She brought, it’s in the room in there now, Our Sunday Visitor, the Catholic paper. And the Catholic paper was answering a minister. Said, “Did you say, reverend, that did the…In the Roman numeral over the Vatican, or over the Pope’s throne, is written, ‘Vicarivs Filii Dei,’ which it means, that it in the Catholic diocese there, that that is the—the number of the beast of the Apocalypse?” 196 “Why,” he said, “certainly, it is. It’s exactly, spells out six hundred and sixty-six. It’s exactly.” And the Roman diocese admit it, that it does. <William Branham,62-1111E - Why I'm Against Organized Religion, para. 195</ref>
