William Branham's Doctrine of the Ham

One of William Branham’s more unusual doctrines introduced in the latter years of his ministry was the doctrine of the “ham”. It was such an important doctrine to the “Message” that William Branham sent a secret letter to his partner and publicist, Lee Vayle, instructing Vayle to introduce the doctrine as significant, and Branham would follow up with self-promotion.

According to Branham, names ending in “ham,” combined with the numerical count of their letters, were spiritually significant. Six meant “minister to Sodom”, while seven meant “the superior leader”. Abraham, in the English language, had seven letters — though it did not in ancient Hebrew.

Still, this gave Branham an edge among his converts over Billy Graham, who was without question Branham’s primary competition. Branham said that never in the last days had a leader been sent to the “Church” with six letters and a name ending in “ham”. Following this out to the intended conclusion, never had one been sent to the “Church” with seven since Abraham.

There is just one problem: Charles Fox Parham, the founder of modern Pentecostalism, had six letters in his last name.
