William M. Branham

Who was William M. Branham?

William Marrion Branham was an American Christian minister, usually credited with founding the post World War II divine healing movement. Many Pentecostal Christians welcomed his evangelistic and healing ministry, and some considered him to be a prophet. According to David Edwin Harrell, "Branham's healing power became a world-wide legend".

Branham's most controversial revelation was his claim to be the end-time prophet to the Bride of Christ although this was never explicitly stated. He believed that Christians needed to return to the original apostolic faith of the Bible, often referring to Malachi 4:5–6 and Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
