COVID-19 Overturning Branham Prophecy Concerning Rome
"Message" cult pastors have for years parroted William Branham's "prophecies" concerning Rome and the end of the world. Branham predicted that Rome would eventually hold the wealth of the world, and the nations would not be able to "buy or sell" unless "selling their birthright" by becoming Catholic. (A notion promoted by many leaders of the Ku Klux Klan).

"Well, who has got the wealth of the world? Who holds it? [Someone says, “Rome.”—Ed.] Sure, it does. Rome holds it. And whenever we do, when we get broke, instead of these big merchants, tobacco, whiskey, and so forth, like…Have to get the money; what we’ll have to do, either change the currency or borrow the money. And, when they do, it’s the birthright sold right back, exactly, just as perfect, and just what the Scripture says about it."
Branham, William. 1963, November 28. Testimony (63-1128M).
COVID-19 appears to be overturning this prophecy. Like all other nations of the world, the global pandemic has taken its toll on Rome's economy.
