Question 27: Did Brother Branham see a calendar that ended
with the year 1977?
Answer: No. To my knowledge, as of yet no one has found
a corresponding statement from Brother Branham
about having such a vision. It can no longer be determined
who originally came up with this story.
We first came to know about the supposed “calendar
vision” in 1966. Later on, the calendar vision was
published and I mentioned it in my Circular Letter
of February 1967. Then I began having certain
doubts in regard to the year 1977, so, as I previously
mentioned, I asked Bro. Lee Vayle for clarification.
In the same letter, dated January 17 th , 1972, he
wrote the following about the calendar vision, “Now,
Brother Frank, due to people publishing that Brother
Branham saw a calendar flipping over by hand until the
date 1977 came into view, and finding that was not his
vision at all, but merely something someone made up,
we discussed this very thing …” The tragic part is that
no correction was ever made by the responsible parties
in the USA, and to this day we are left with
the lie that Brother Branham made that prediction.
Therefore his enemies use it to their advantage and
declare that he was a “false prophet”, because the
prediction was not fulfilled.
Question 28: Is the baptism by the Holy Ghost the same as the
new birth?
Answer: No. That statement in the Church Age Book did not
come from the lips of Brother Branham, but from
the author of that book. Therefore it is not found
on any taped message, and furthermore, it is not
scriptural.
One is the new birth by the Spirit and the other is
the infilling with the Holy Spirit. In Acts 8 the people
believed the sermon of the evangelist Philip and
