A Timeline of William Branham's Russian Prophecies
Throughout his ministry, William Branham claimed to have had visions concerning Russia, and claimed that God was speaking through him as "Thus Saith The Lord" to describe Russia's part in world destruction. Over time, these alleged prophecies transition from Communist Russia being "Raised Up By God" to convert the world to Communism before destroying all nations through the leading of the "angel of destruction" to the exact opposite. In later versions of his stage persona, William Branham claimed that Russia was part of the Pentecostal blessing while transitioning his 1933 Prophecy to instead be concerning Italy and the Roman Catholic Church.
