==The End of the Christian Church on Earth==


[[William Branham]] believed that [[William Branham's View of Himself#He was born a prophet|he was born a prophet]].  And as a prophet, he prophesied harsh judgment on America and the Catholic Church.  He prophesied that the Catholic Church will join hands with the World Council of Churches, and agree on the topic of the Eucharist, or communion <ref name="WCC"> [[World Council of Churches]]</ref>. He also prophesied that this new Federation of Churches would force all other Churches to join its association (and accept its universal doctrine), resulting in a boycott, closure, and persecution of all independent churches who refuse to join this union of systems.

==The Antichrist and Israel==
William Branham prophesied that the Catholic Church would strike an economic deal with the nation of Israel, and that the Federation of Churches would produce the antichrist.  William Branham also prophesied that two prophets would arise in Israel with mighty miracles, but that the Catholic Church would break its deal with Israel and lead a persecution on Israel, killing these prophets in the process.  William Branham also prophesied that at some point the Jews would rebuild the temple in Jerusalem and restore temple worship.  He also prophesied that a remnant of 144,000 Jews would be placed into their respective tribes by the words and direction of these prophets, and that Jesus Christ would reveal himself to this remnant.  During the time of assault led by the Catholic Church, the bodies of the two prophets will be left on display in the streets of Jerusalem for three days, in a scene that will be visible around the world (probably via television or the internet).  After three days, these prophets will be resurrected and will be seen alive by their enemies.

<div style="border-bottom:1px #B87333 solid; text-align:center; font-size:140%; padding:1px; margin:1px;">The Millennium</div>
==The Millennium==
William Branham taught that the Millennium is a period of one thousand years where the devil will be bound, and man will live free on the earth.  The Millennium is a sign that the curse in the garden of Eden ("the day you eat, that day you die") is finally lifted.  The Millennium is a type of "honeymoon" for King Jesus and his bride.  After the Millennium is the Judgment, then time will melt into Eternity once more.
