Book excerpt: William Branham (1909-1965) was an American pastor and evangelist credited for spearheading the post World War II healing revivals of the 1940s and 50s. In the 1960s, he began to view himself as Elijah the prophet of Malachi 4:5-6, who restores the elect to the original word of God; the seventh angel messenger of Revelation 3:14 and 10:7, who reveals every hidden mysteries of the Bible; and the fulfillment of the Son of man ministry of Luke 17:30, who reveals Christ to the last generation as a prophet. He also believed his message was the "shout" of Christ's second coming in 1 Thessalonians 4:16. In today's world, an estimated two (2) million people believe Branham's claims. They trustingly accept everything he says in over 1100 recorded sermons and books as truth and facts without having ever conducted a critical independent research. As a result, they are mostly clueless, misinformed, or willingly ignorant regarding the serious errors and discrepancies that surround this man upon whom they have entrusted their eternal destiny. In this 8.5" x 11" book of 17 chapters and 336 pages, the author challenges the status quo from an insider's perspective through an eight (8) months investigative research regarding the claims and teachings of William Branham. In doing so, he provides a convincing compilation of more than 3,000 excerpts, credible references, official documents, archived newspaper articles, historical facts, and scriptures that uncover deliberate plagiarisms, disproven supernatural vindications, failed visions, failed prophecies, failed "Thus saith the Lord," failed predictions, and unscriptural doctrinal errors. Among Minister Branham's most celebrated work, the alleged revelation of the seven sealed book in Revelation 5:1 are considered to be the pinnacle of his teachings that sets him apart from every past, present, and future ministries. Nonetheless, this timely book examines, diligently compares, and provide ninety-nine pages of evidences that suggest Branham almost certainly got his understanding of the seven seals, seven church ages, and nineteen other significant revelatory teachings--supposedly revealed by God--from several well-known biblical writers of the past.
