William Marrion Branham!

Introduction
In the book of Revelation, chapters 2 and 3, the Holy Spirit revealed to the Apostle John God's program for dealing with the Gentiles. Like as the Patriarch Joseph left his country and people, to eventually take a Gentile Bride to himself, so Jesus Christ would leave His brethren Israel to take a Gentile Bride to Himself. In the 7 ages of the Gentile Church - Ephesus to Laodicea (Revelation Chapters 1 through 3) she is to be prepared for union with Him. In these last days the Lord comes to "catch His waiting Bride away."

But before he does, the scriptures tell us that a messenger is to appear on the scene in the spirit and power of Elijah. According to Malachi 4:5,6 he will turn the hearts of the children to the fathers before the earth is destroyed. His ministry, like John the Baptist will forerun the second coming of the Lord Jesus. He is Alpha and Omega, First and Last and changes not.

20th Century Prophet of the Gentiles.

A Harvest Time Ministry
William Branham, 1909-1965, was one of the most influential Christian leaders of the twentieth century and one of the most controversial. His ministry saw more miracles than any other in recorded history and can be verified. But what does it mean?

From the minute he was born, William Branham was set apart from the ordinary. Plagued by poverty and rejection, he became a nervous child. Unusual things kept happening to him, mystifying and spiritual things.but he did not start thinking about God until he was fourteen, when he nearly lost both legs in a shotgun accident. As he lay dying in a pool of blood, he saw a terrifying vision of hell -- saw himself falling constantly deeper into that region of lost and drifting souls. He cried out to God for mercy and miraculously was give a second chance -- a chance which later he almost failed to grasp.

As a young pastor, William Branham struggled to understand his peculiar life. Why was he the only minister in town who saw visions? When God first called him into nation-wide evangelism in 1936, he refused, only to pay dearly for his mistake by losing his wife and daughter to tuberculosis. The visions continued. Ministers told him that these visions came from Satan. Desperation finally drove him to seek God in the wilderness, where he came face to face with a supernatural being. The angel gave him a commission from God to take a gift of Divine healing to the people of the world. When William Branham argued that people would not believe an angel had really met him, the angel said the world be given two supernatural signs to prove his calling. Then they would have to believe. And believe they did!

Soon after the angel visited William Branham and told him he was ordained to take a gift of healing to the peoples of the world, the first sign appeared -- a physical reaction in his hand that happened only when he touched the hand of someone suffering from a germ-caused. Within two months of his commission, William Branham's extraordinary gift had gained national attention. People by the thousands flocked to his meetings, where he preached salvation and Divine healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. Miracles abounded. The world had not seen anything like it since the days when Jesus walked through Galilee, casting out demons and healing all who were sick and afflicted. Even so, some people still questioned whether an angel had really met this humble man. Then the second sign appeared, open visions of peoples past and current lives and discernment of thoughts and intents of hearts and they had to believe!
