It must be clearly stated: On that day in 1981, when William Branham was declared to be the “Voice of God” in Jeffersonville by reference to Rev 10:7, the same thing happened as it had in the Garden of Eden. Brother Branham emphasized this a great many times: It was the addition of just one word by the serpent in his conversation with Eve that brought about the fall! Here it is an entire verse that has been misinterpreted. What is written in Rev 10:7 was applied to Brother Branham, and the interpretation is believed by all those who despise God’s Word.

William Branham was a man, like Elijah and like all of us. Whoever believes that he was the Voice of God, believes that he is God – and that is blasphemy and idolatry! The Voice of God is the Word of God, and not a mortal man!

Let us take a look at the human side: Brother Branham liked to hunt; he liked to fish; he often told stories before a sermon. He was a husband and a father. On April 21, 1957, at the beginning of a sermon, he pointed to his daughter Rebekah and said, “There is my little girl sitting there. One day she will also be a prophetess.” But what was missing here was the “THUS SAITH THE LORD.” The daughter lived and died without being a prophetess.

On November 29, 1959, Brother Branham said at the beginning of his sermon, “Joseph, my son, you are a prophet. That is my prayer.” Again, the “THUS SAITH THE LORD” is missing. God did not promise another prophet in His Word – nor an eighth messenger.

On July 8, 1962, Brother Branham said, “And so I’m waiting for that great time when I will go to Israel someday to bring the Gospel to them.”

On July 11, 1965, he said, “… my ministry isn’t finished in Africa.”

On August 15, 1965, he said, “I’ll ride this trail once more …”

On November 27, 1965, he said, “I will not die …” – and only one month later, on December 24, 1965, he was called home!

He was waiting in great anticipation for the final Work of God, as we are today, and he associated this with the seven thunders, the third pull and the tent vision.

An entire list could be drawn up of statements that Brother Branham made as a human being, which sadly are considered to be the “THUS SAITH THE LORD” by false teachers and subsequently proclaimed by them as such. However, we only concern ourselves with what Brother Branham proclaimed as the message based on the Word. Anyone who reads or hears his sermons without interpreting anything will still be richly blessed.

But because we are so close to the end, the wheat must be separated from the tares. Everyone has to decide whether they want to believe the original Word or an interpretation.

It comes to fulfillment: “… because they received not the love of the truth, … God shall send them strong delusion …” (2 Ths 2:10-11).

Let us return once more to the quotes we cited in the beginning. Brother Branham emphasized that not he but the message would forerun the second coming of Christ.

At the conference in Dallas, Texas, on June 12, 1958, at the end of our conversation, Brother Branham said to me, “Brother Frank, you will return to Germany with this message.”

On January 15, 1963, he said in a sermon, “The message will go to another nation …”

Brother Branham did not preach in any other country after the opening of the Seals. It was not until after his funeral in April 1966 that the message was carried into all the world. But it is this very fact that the despisers of God are denying.

It has become evident that all of those who believe heresies also reject the carrier of the message who was commissioned by God. They participate in the character assassination and slander that has been widely circulated since the devastating blow of Satan in 1979. Here the serpent also used the same method as with Eve and sowed the seeds of doubt in regard to the divine calling. “Should the LORD really have spoken to him?” Indeed, Satan invented the worst allegations against the servant of God in order to destroy the confidence of the believers in the divine calling and also devastate the local church. All of the seduced believe the satanic lies. They do not believe that the LORD really spoke to His servant and gave him instructions before and even after 1979.

May the faithful LORD grant His mercy that all those who are lost may find their way back after 40 years in the wilderness, and that we may together experience our preparation in faith and obedience, by His grace. Here it applies: The elect cannot be deceived. The foolish virgins will not come until the latter rain falls and the LORD God confirms the Word among the wise virgins. Then they will say, “Give us of your oil.” But then it will be too late. They will stand outside in front of the closed door and knock. This Word is still valid: “TO DAY IF YE WILL HEAR HIS VOICE …!” Do not harden your hearts when God speaks!
