Cutting and Splicing William Branham's Recordings

William Branham was the 1950s prototype of the Apostles and Prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation today. NAR leaders give reverence to Branham for his “accuracy” in “prophecy”. Like many of the self-proclaimed “prophets” and “healers” of the era, Branham made several vague statements that could be considered “prophecy” or “wishful thinking”, often concerning scenarios that were very likely. If the prediction came to pass, it was considered by his cult of personality to be prophetic. If not, it was considered to be an opinion. This was challenging, however, because Branham recorded many of his statements. NAR leaders use this fact to their advantage — it was recorded, therefore, it must have been accurate!

What many do not realize is that these recordings, on magnetic tape, were cut, spliced, and edited. Some edits were made at Branham’s instruction or by Branham’s own hand. In my grandfather’s church, the Branham Tabernacle, William Branham installed a switch on the pulpit to stop the tape. He mentioned this switch in 1963. He also instructed cult leaders to splice the tape and even re-recorded sections that contained questionable content. An example of re-recording is mentioned in the introduction to the sermon “Seventh Seal”.
