Evangelist William Branham: America Will Be 'One Smoldering, Burnt-Over Place.' 'I Predict' Before 1977

The fine print
Branham said he wrote the vision down in 1933. The seventh and last scene showed America as 'one smoldering, burnt-over place'; his note, read aloud in the sermon: 'I predict this will take place before 1977.' He added that the Lord showed the vision and the date was his own reckoning. Branham died in 1965.
