Answer: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of Christ, the message that is given you will be a forerunner of the second coming of Christ.”

The same statement came from the lips of Brother Branham forty more times. Why, then, was it changed into the following statement: “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming of the Lord, so are you sent to forerun His second coming.”? The altered text was even carved on the inside of the front door of Brother Branham’s new home in Tucson.

Who on earth is authorised to make such a change and thereby deny the original commission, that the message would forerun the second coming of Christ? Such brethren prefer to impute this untruth to Brother Branham forty-one times, even though he said himself that the message would be the forerunner. He even emphasised it when speaking of this great commission, “Not that I would be the forerunner, but the message was the forerunner!” (Testimony, Puerto Rico, 2-10-1959). Now, who is telling the truth? Those men, who knew Brother Branham personally, or William Branham, who knew the Lord personally? What is motivating these brethren to mislead the people and bind them spiritually to their views? They point to the past ministry and to the supposed future ministry of the prophet, all the while bypassing what God is presently doing.
