The Failed Y2K Prophecy: William Branham Doomsday Predictions

William Branham is often remembered for his failed 1977 doomsday prediction, though there were several years that Branham predicted as “the end” in his long lineup of doomsday prophecies. Like any doomsday prophet and his or her cult of personality, when one prediction failed, the group ignored the failure and moved on to the next prediction. But did William Branham himself believe these predictions?

The first year that Branham mentioned his 1977 doomsday prediction was in November of 1960, in a sermon entitled “Condemnation by Representation”. He claimed to have believed it enough to write on the alleged 1931, 1932, or 1933 paper containing his list of prophecies — which he claimed to have buried in the cornerstone of his church and was somehow reading from. 1977, Branham said, was “in parenthesis”

But according to Branham’s “No Flesh Saved” doctrine, God’s plan of salvation had a time limit of two thousand years. This was a doctrine Branham used in sermons and publications for as long as his faith healing stage persona existed. Each time Branham mentioned the return of Christ, he always placed an end date of two thousand years, no matter which doomsday year was currently in use by his stage persona. In the case of his 1977 doomsday prediction, Branham explained this discrepancy by claiming that the calendar we use is incorrect. In either case, no matter which “calendar” was used by his many stage personas, today’s date is long past his failed prediction.
