Answer: Brother Branham never made such a prophecy. He did, however, mention the year 1977 in several sermons. The statement found in the Church Age Book, pg. 322, did not come from the lips of Brother Branham, namely that 1977 ought to terminate all worldly systems and usher in the Millennium. Therefore that statement is not found a single time in any of the recorded sermons. It actually originated word for word from the pen of Bro. Lee Vayle, the author of that book. The same statement can also be found on page 7 of his brochure “The Laodicean Church Age”. On January 17^th, 1972, Bro. Vayle answered my question about 1977 as follows, “I believe with the prophet that 1977 ought to wind it all up and put us in the Millennium …” This was obviously the personal opinion of the author, not of the prophet.
