	When confronted with this evidence, some Message believers have appealed to fringe historical sources alleging that FDR secretly orchestrated WWII and that Roosevelt was indeed the sinister warmonger Branham described.

	'''On the sources:''' The primary website circulated in these arguments is operated by an organization widely identified by historians as the leading Holocaust denial organization in the world. Its purpose is to minimize Nazi crimes and rehabilitate convicted war criminals. Citing this source in a theological argument about a Christian minister is not simply a logical error — it is a moral one.

The war was not caused in Washington — it was launched from Berlin.		'''On the substance:''' Even setting aside the source, the historical argument fails on its own terms.

	Notice what is happening across this timeline. The prophecy begins (in 1958) with the relatively modest claim that FDR would win a fourth term. It then escalates dramatically in late 1960 to the claim that FDR directly and actively ''caused'' WWII. It then quietly retreats from that bold claim — from "caused" to "helped cause" — before eventually returning to the softer original version in August 1961.

	If a prophecy is "on paper," its content does not evolve. Its scope does not expand under enthusiasm and contract under scrutiny. A document either says what it says or it does not. What we see instead is a prophecy whose content tracked the rhetorical needs of its teller, not the fixed record of a divine revelation.		If a prophecy is "on paper," its content does not evolve.

	Why do we receive comments like this? The reason is that people who believe that William Branham was a prophet become frustrated when confronted with a false statement by their beloved prophet. This is known as [[Cognitive Dissonance\|cognitive dissonance]], and often results in Message Believers grasping at straws, or conspiracy theories, in order to keep the status quo of their lives. It is disturbing to think you are "a special elect" one minute, only to realize that you are deceived. As a result, it is mentally and emotionally easier to cling to anything that would support William Branham as a true prophet.		Why do we receive comments like this?

	William Branham claimed he had a series of eight prophetic visions in June 1933. In the first vision, Franklin D. Roosevelt picked on the Germans and started the Second World War.

	In the Laodicean Church Age book, William Branham says, “Now let me say this. Can anyone prove any of those visions wrong? Were they not all fulfilled?” Over 80 years after 1933, we now have the benefit of hindsight in our ability to confirm the accuracy of these prophecies.

			===Why would he mention Roosevelt a number of times but not in respect of the prophecy?===

			William Branham mentioned President Roosevelt at least ten times in his sermons prior to the first telling of this prophecy. Why did never mention his prophecy regarding Roosevelt prior to September 1958?

	===He Ignored Pearl Harbour===		===He Ignored Pearl Harbour===
	The USA did not lead the world into WWII, as William Branham prophecied. In fact, the United States stayed out of the conflict until 1941 when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. It is not clear how William Branham omitted this fact, as he preached about Pearl Harbour a number of times, condemning the soldiers for their revelry.
