This Generation: William Branham's Failed Israel Prophecy
- 7 months ago
One of the less obvious failed prophecies of William Branham was focused upon the Jewish people living in Israel when the Nation of Israel was formed in 1948. Branham often claimed that his alleged supernatural experiences were closely tied to those Jews, claiming that he first met with an “angel” to receive his “commission” when the nation of Israel was formed. (Though his claim was largely inaccurate since his healing ministry began in the early 1940s and the Nation of Israel was not formed until 1948.)
When William Branham preached his “Seven Seals” series in March of 1963, Branham claimed that the generation of Jews that had migrated to form the nation of Israel were the ones to witness Branham’s end-of-day predictions. Branham said that it was specifically for that generation. Now, 76 years later, as most of that generation has died out, Branham’s cult of personality has begun re-writing that failed prophecy to suggest that it was … not … for that generation as Branham had claimed. Instead, it was for future generations, and without Branham as their prophet-savior.
This was not always the case. Early versions of Branham’s stage persona claimed that he himself would play a significant role in converting all of Israel, what he called, “Getting Israel back to the Lord”. This claim was closely tied to his “Malachi 4”, Manifested Sons of God theology. Branham convinced his followers to believe that he was the one referenced in Malachi 4 verse 6, “And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers”

But notice. The very generation of Jews that seen the return, back into Palestine, that generation would see these things happen. And just the last two years, she was fully become a nation, with her own money and whatever. There she is.
