The Curse of Ham - William Branham's Plagiarized "Mystery"
- last year
Curse of Ham
In 1958, William Branham announced his ties to white supremacy with the sermon “The Serpent’s Seed”. Though he claimed that it was a “divine mystery” that was “revealed to him by God, the sermon was nothing more than a re-branding of the Christian Identity Doctrine of Wesley Swift. Swift was trained in Aimee Semple McPherson’s Angelus Temple, which had many connections to Branham’s ministry. Paul Kopp, who promoted William Branham’s revivals in the movie, 20th Century Prophet, was an Angelus Temple minister.
Branham deceptively removed the words “black” and “jew” from the doctrine of Swift, and for that reason, many members of his cult of personality and even religious historians mistakenly think that Branham attempted to create a non-racist version of the white supremacy doctrine. When one examines Branham’s sermon, however, it is clear that Branham — like Swift and other white supremacists — traced the lineage of the “evil bloodline” from Noah’s son Ham, which was believed to father the black races of Africa. Branham openly stated that “Ham was evil”, and traced his lineage to Nimrod, exactly the same as Swift’s racist doctrine of the two bloodlines.
Interestingly, many of Branham’s listeners were unaware that they were supposed to be racist and did not connect the dots. While white supremacists were teaching that people with black skin were “mongrels”, Branham’s cult of personality, for the most part, did not. Therefore, Branham introduced his “hybreeding” doctrine to seal the deal. According to Branham, when a person with white skin mated with a person with black skin, it created a “mongrel”.
