William Marrion Branham
“… in the days of the voice …” Rev. 10:7

God Of This Evil Age

Jeffersonville, IN USA
August 1, 1965
 Introduction
The remarkable ministry of William Branham was
the response of the Holy Spirit to the prophecies of the
Scriptures in Malachi 4:5,6, Luke 17:30, and
Revelations 10:7. This worldwide ministry has been
the culmination of many other Bible prophecies, and a
continuation of the working of God by His Spirit at
this End time. This ministry was spoken of in the
Scriptures, to prepare the people for the Second
Coming of Jesus Christ.
We pray that the printed Word will become
written in your heart as you prayerfully read this
message.

appreciate it. Sometimes I forget to even say anything about it. It’s so
busy, you know. My mind is in such a whirl all the time. You can
imagine what it is of people, not only from right here at this church, but
from around the world, see. And it sort of keeps me in a whirl all the
time.
