Bro Branham taught that his ministry fulfilled scriptural promises for an end-time prophet and messenger to restore the original apostolic faith before the Day of the Lord, distinguishing Malachi 4's Elijah from John the Baptist (Malachi 3). Evidence: [THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS — 64-0719M: ¶59–¶65]; [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶207–¶211].
He described the seventh angel/messenger of Revelation 10:7 as the Laodicean Church Age figure who finishes all Bible mysteries lost in prior ages, sounding the trumpet to call out the Bride with the full Word between the Sixth and Seventh Seals/Trumpets, linking it to Luke 17:30 where the Son of man is revealed as in Sodom's days. Evidence: [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶67–¶69]; [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶240–¶243]; [THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS — 64-0719M: ¶244–¶247].
While Bro Branham never explicitly stated "I am the prophet" or "I am the seventh angel" in the searched evidence, he positioned his Message as the fulfillment in the last days, with God vindicating it through signs like discernment (as in Genesis 18/Luke 17:30). For biography context: In 1933, a voice from a light over the Ohio River commissioned him "as John the Baptist was sent to forerun... His second coming" (William Branham biography); in 1946, an Angel confirmed his healing gift, promising discernment of hearts if sincere. Evidence: [TRYING TO DO GOD A SERVICE WITHOUT IT BEING GOD’S WILL — 65-1127B: ¶207–¶211].
Until, it comes to that last angel. Now, he has no certain mystery. But he gathers up all that’s been lost in them other ages... “In the days of the seventh angel, his sounding forth... he is to finish all the mysteries of God.” [THE FIRST SEAL — 63-0318: ¶68]
The seventh angel of Revelation 10:7 is the seventh church-age messenger... sounding forth his Message to the Laodicean church... “Finishing all the mysteries of God...” [IS THIS THE SIGN OF THE END, SIR? — 62-1230E: ¶241–¶242]
...in Malachi 4, that there is to be an anointing come down and to restore again that original Faith... John the Baptist was not the Elisha of Malachi 4. [THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS — 64-0719M: ¶60–¶62]
...Luke 17:30, and also Malachi 4... this is to be between the Sixth and the Seventh Seal... [THE FEAST OF THE TRUMPETS — 64-0719M: ¶245]
