1959 November 8, 1959* 1960 1961 1962 1963 1964 1965 John F. Kennedy Is Elected President of the United States of America Following a series of seven visions in 1933, Brother Branham warned the American church-going people of the rising power of the Roman Catholic Church. John F. Kennedy became not only the youngest man to be elected president but also the first Catholic one. Kennedy’s presidency was a watershed moment for American Catholicism. Since then, Catholics have ascended to important political offices in greater and greater numbers. During the 1940s and 1950s, while Senator McCarthy was investigating the communist influence in America, the Reverend Billy Graham is on record as saying, “Either communism must die, or Christianity must die, because it is actually a battle between Christ and anti-Christ.” While Billy Graham was telling the American public Communism was their greatest threat, William Branham understood the real threat came from the purple curtain of Catholicism that would work to denigrate the power of God in the American people. The Reverend Graham, dubbed the ‘Pastor in Chief,’ (TIME Magazine - August 2007), visited or advised 12 American presidents, from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Barack Obama. “There’s an iron curtain; there’s a bamboo curtain; and there’s a purple curtain. Brother, don’t you fear none of the rest of them, but watch that purple curtain. She’s setting right here on the throne, today, in this country. Remember, just like Ahab did, Jezebel behind him, that’s ... The Bible calls the Catholic Church ‘Jezebel, prostitute.’ And Ahab wasn’t no bad guy. I don’t say that Mr. Kennedy isn’t a nice man; I don’t know nothing about him. He’s a man; that’s all I know. He’s the President; I believe he will make a good president. It’s not him; it’s that system behind him. Wait till she gets wormed into the Cabinet, and everywhere she can, then watch what happens. Look what it done in other nations; look what it’s always done.” The Restoration of the Bride Tree, April 22, 1962 * Sorry for the mistake. It should be November 8, 1960 19
