    God will destroy those who destroy the earth

    During his sermon on the Sixth Seal, William Branham takes the time to lash out critically at big-game hunters:

    "Why, it's a sin. That's not sport. When I was standing out on the field out yonder, in where I hunt and things like that, and see where them white hunters come out there and shoot them deer and cut a hindquarters off of it and sometimes kill eight or ten little does and leave them laying there, and their fawns running around trying to find their mammy, and you mean that's sportsmanship? That's pure murder in my book… Buffalo Bill and them plainsmen had shot off all them buffaloes, forty, fifty in an afternoon. They know when they ridded that, they got rid of the Indian. Oh, my, a stain on the flag the way they treated them Indians. There you are. But remember, the Bible said, "The hour's come that God will destroy them that destroys the earth."

    William Branham shoots 34 large animals in 21 days

    On May 26, 1965, William Branham went to Africa and shot 34 large game animals (including buffalo) in 21 days.

    Owen Jorgenson wrote that:

    “Bill wanted to shoot a lion…He tried setting a trap. First he shot a zebra. Tying the dead zebra behind the Land Rover, he drug it in a wide circle around a tree, then left the zebra carcass under the tree, hoping a lion would smell the zebra scent and follow it to the tree”.
    "William Branham couldn't display any animals from his safari in Africa. He had left his 33 hunting trophies at the airport in Beira, Mozambique, with instructions for his air carrier to fly them back to the United States. Unfortunately, the trophies never arrived in the U.S., which meant that they were stolen in Mozambique. Because the airline was at fault, it offered Bill free airfare to Africa for another safari."

    So it turns out that William Branham became the big-game hunter that he condemned so harshly. Plus, how much money would it have cost to ship 33 large game animals back to the United States?

    What other "Sins" did William Branham preach against, but participate in?

    William Branham in Shorts

    Another thing he preached against was wearing shorts, which is something else he did while hunting in Africa:
