William Branham vs Genesis 6
- 3 years ago
William Branham used Genesis 6:2 for various doctrines that were designed to oppress women, specifically women who were pleasant to look at. According to Branham, God did not design women to be beautiful, and "pretty" women were the result of Satan's plan to deceive men.
But in the human race, it’s the woman that’s pretty, not the man; if he is, there is something wrong, there is crossed-up seed somewhere. Originally it’s that way. Why, why was it done? To deceive by. Her designer, Satan, is still working on her, too, in these last days. Let me stop here just for a moment. “Pretty!” Did you know, at the first destruction, internationally, of the world, or worldwide, was because of pretty women? “When the sons of God saw the daughters of men were fair, they taken unto them women.”

Branham also took issue with verse 9, which described Noah as "a just man and perfect". According to Branham's "Rapture Theology", Noah was a "type" of the imperfect Christians who did not agree with Branham's theology, while Enoch (whose timeline Branham increased from 365 to 500 years), lived at the same time representing Branham's own following. According to Branham, Noah "went on out into sin".
the church will go through the tribulation. But I'm talking about the Bride. The Bride won't, no, it hasn't got a sin against it at all. It's done been bleached out, and there's not even a--a--there's not even smell of it; there's nothing left. They're perfect before God. So what's any tribulation to purify them, but the others do. The church does go through the tribulation, but not the Bride. Now, now, we're just taking it in all kinds of symbols now like the--the church, Noah, the carried over type, went on out into sin. See? Now, they did go over, but Enoch went first. That was the type of the saints that would go in the--in--before the tribulation period.
