The Message Part 33: William Branham and Joseph Mattsson Boze
This episode examines William Branham's connections to leaders of the "Latter Rain" movement through Rev. Joseph Mattsson-Boze of the Philadelphia Church in Chicago. It also examines Rev Mattsson-Boze's promotion of "divine healers", "Latter Rain" evangelists, cross-promotion between Boze's "Herald of Faith" publication and Branham's "Voice of Healing" publication, and the promotion strategies of the two organizations. It uses the example of both Branham and Boze's use of "Flying Saucers" to promote their ministries, and Branham's advancing the "UFO doctrine" for transitioning his ministry from the "Latter Rain" version of the "Message" to later iterations of the "Message". Last, it briefly examines the creation of "divine healer" and "Message" minister Rev. Jim Jones of Peoples Temple, through work from both Rev. Joseph Mattsson-Boze and William Branham.
