Wesley A. Swift was one of the original leaders of the racist and antisemitic Christian Identity doctrine which William Branham would later rebrand as "Serpent's Seed". Swift either influenced or worked directly with several men associated with William Branham's ministry, including the Rev. LeRoy Kopp who would become an icon in Branham's "Message" sect for his interview with William Branham in the video "Twentieth Century Prophet". Over time, Swift became an "authority on the subject of race", and his national lectures and radio broadcasts quickly spread Christian Identity theology.

Swift was the focal point for the convergence of several significant milestones in the William Branham timeline, the Ku Klux Klan timeline, the Neonazi historical timeline, and various other terroristic groups' histories. He — not Branham — would later be credited for both the popularization of the Two-Seed Doctrine and its ties to militant white supremacy.  Swift taught a racist version of British Israelism which claimed that the 'mother race' were Anglo-Saxons from England.

That's the mother race of the Anglo-Saxon people, in England. That's right. And don't think…You don't have to go to England, just go down here in the southern states, you'll find the same thing.
- William Branham[1]

Interestingly, this theology was the basis for several white supremacy groups attempting to overthrow the United States government and the current hearings by the January 6th committee.  Swift used the Bible and extremist Christian theology to make an argument for overthrowing government systems that enabled the "lesser race".  Branham used that same theology to preach sermons on the "overthrow of the United States Government" and to promote segregation.

Swift:
"If you believe the Bible, you are going to be a segregationist.  If you believe the Bible, you are not going to work out any deal of coexistence in the devil's kingdom, because your Race was sent down here to overthrow it".[2]

Branham:
"Here not long ago I preached on the—the subject there in my own hometown. They had them all out, and I preached on the overthrow of the United States Government."[3]
"We give them integration. Now it's worse than it ever was."[4]
