1964 retelling of 1933 prophesy
- The fifth vision had to do with the moral problem of our age, centering mostly around women. God showed me that women began to be out of their place with the granting of the vote. Then they cut off their hair, which signified that they were no longer under the authority of a man but insisted on either equal rights, or in most cases, more than equal rights. She adopted men's clothing and went into a state of undress, until the last picture I saw was a woman naked except for a little fig leaf type apron. With this vision I saw the terrible perversion and moral plight of the whole world. (Church Age Book, Chapter 9, by William Branham)
Problems with the prophecy
First Mentioned In 1964
William Branham mentions that these visions that he received in 1933 were “Thus Saith the Lord”. The prophecy was written down, so each retelling of it should have been consistent. However, William Branham only mentions this part of the 1933 vision in 1964, when he refers to an article published in Life Magazine that included a photograph of a woman in a transparent gown.
The fig leaf covering
The morals of the human race have never been that great, and Americans are no different. The fig-leaf analogy is sensational, but people have been wearing immoral clothing of this type since, well, Adam and Eve. The bikini itself was invented by fashion designer Jacques Heim in Paris in 1946, and was popularized in America long before William Branham mentioned the immorality of American clothing as part of the 1933 prophecy. Furthermore, images of partially-clad and naked women can be found in much ancient art, such as Egyptian art.
Changes in the story
The Church Age Book includes "women cutting their hair" as part of this prophecy - which is absent from the recorded sermons.
- pre-1964: Nothing.
- 1964: Women would wear fig-leaf type transparent skirts, and garments like a man. [1]
- 1964: Women would wear man’s garments, and put on fig leaves. [2]
- 1964: Women will never go completely nude, but will wear underneath clothes and something like a fig leaf. [3]
- Church Age Book: Women everywhere would cut their hair, adopt men’s clothing, and undress down to a fig-leaf style apron. [4]
William Branham trimmed his daughter's hair
William Branham preached against women voting, driving, and cutting their hair. However, his daughters did all of these things. In fact, William and Meda Branham even began trimming their daughter Rebekah's hair before she was old enough to ask for it.
