Failed Prophecy of Israel

In 1961, William Branham prophesied that the entire nation of Israel would be converted to his "Message" cult following in one single day.  This was in reference to an upcoming world revival tour that did not happen before Branham's death in 1965.  According to Branham, the Gospel of Jesus Christ was not for the Jews.  Branham strongly disagreed with Romans 1:16 and claimed that the "Message", which he considered a new "Gospel of Divine Healing" he called "The Message", was the "gospel" that would "save" the Jews.

That’s when I tried to tell this brother setting over here, that’s talking about going to Israel, stay away from Israel! Stay away from it, all you people talking about converting the Jews. Before this Message is over, you’ll see it’s THUS SAITH THE LORD, by Word and by Spirit. Israel will be converted over, the whole nation, in one night. The Bible said so. But the Gospel is not even to them. There is a few renegades that’s out, and so forth like that, that come in, and outside the main body of Jews, that come in and get saved. That’s true. I believe that with all my—my heart. But, remember, as long as Israel is out of their nation, they cannot be saved. Now they are returning. And they’ll be saved, all the whole nation, in one day. The Bible said so. One day; will bring, completely, all Israel right back to God. There will be such a mighty thing strike Israel one of these days, until it’ll shake the whole nation. Even the prophet cried out, and said, “In one day has thou did this.” In one day, they will see It. There’ll be a mighty thing. My opinion, it’ll be a mighty prophet that’ll rise and stand before Israel, and prove to them that that Messiah is still a living.

Shortly before his death, William Branham began promoting that world tour, claiming that the nation of France would also be converted.

I understood that in France, this morning, there’s better than two thousand Frenchmen on a several-day fast that we’ll come bring the Message to France in French. The whole Protestant nation, Protestant part of the nation of France. And so we are… 5 It’s just begin blooming now, just begin, the shuck’s pulling away so the wheat can lay out there now. See? So just keep reverent, keep praying. See? Remember, “They that wait upon the Lord, renew their strength.” 6 Now, there’s…I was…getting pretty old, and I thought, “Will I…Will there be another revival, I’ll see another time?” And just remember, from the west will come a white horse rider. We’ll ride this trail again. That’s right. Soon as we get ready. It’s a promise, you see."

This prophecy would have been classified as a "failed prophecy" after his fatal car crash.  After William Branham's death in December of 1965, however, cult leaders employed a strategy to alter the status of the failed prophecy.  Cult leaders withheld his body from the grave until Easter of 1966.[1]  According to cult leaders, William Branham's wife, Meda, remained in critical condition for several months, and the body was being held for her recovery.  The family doctor, however, stated that Meda had recovered on December 30, 1965.[2]

Some of these cult leaders began to spread the word that William Branham would rise from the grave on Easter,[3] which resulted in an unusually large crowd of people[4] visiting Jeffersonville, IN to see this "resurrection".  Five city blocks of downtown Jeffersonville were blocked to traffic and all off-duty policemen and firemen were called in to keep order in the city.[5]

Billy Paul Branham publicly denied his belief in the resurrection to newspaper reporters, claiming that cult leaders were not spreading this rumor.  "A lot of the people have been praying, but nothing has been taught".[6] In private, however, it appears that Billy Paul himself was involved in the generation of the belief in the resurrection and that as late as 2004 continued to help propagate belief in Branham's resurrection to fulfill the yet unfulfilled prophecies.

Yes, I personally believe that there is yet a further work for Brother Branham to do, or that is what I see in this message.

Throughout his ministry, William Branham tied his "Message" to the Nation of Israel.  When his 1945-1946 stage persona was re-created to include an angelic visitation as part of the persona, Branham introduced a claim that the formation of the Nation of Israel was spiritually connected to this "angelic visitation" According to William Branham, this "angel" met him the same hour that Israel was formed. According to Branham, the exact date for this event was May the 7th, 1946, effectively erasing his 1945 healing ministry described in his tract, I Was Not Disobedient to the Heavenly Vision.

Israel returning to their homeland, Israel. Let me just say this now while…I guess it’s off of tape. Let me say this. The very hour that Israel become a nation…The reason I’ve always believed, ’fore my class here, that there was something that I’d have a part, before I die, of getting Israel back to the Lord. Because, when the very hour, by the Pan American chart, that Israel was declared a nation, for the first time for two thousand years since they been scattered, not a people; it was that very same hour, exactly to the hour, that the Angel of the Lord met me up yonder and sent me to the…with the Gospel. The very same thing, May the 7th, 1946.

The Nation of Israel was not formed until 1948. In 1947, the United Nations adopted a Partition Plan for Palestine recommending the creation of independent Arab and Jewish states and an internationalized Jerusalem. The plan was accepted by the Jewish Agency, and rejected by Arab leaders. The following year, the Jewish Agency declared the independence of the State of Israel, and the subsequent 1948 Arab–Israeli War finalized the establishment.
