Abram to Abraham & Branam to Branham

Genesis 17: 5: Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

Abram was changed to Abraham when God placed an “H” inside his name. Our prophet too experienced something similar, a changing of his surname. His father Charles originally had a surname of “Branam,” but a barroom brawl in the early days made Charles a wanted man, so he fled across the Kentucky State line into Indiana. It was then that he changed his surname to “Branham” by inserting an “H” into it. Before fleeing from the State, he told his wife Ella that he would write to her under another name and let her know where he was. As an “H” was put into Abraham’s name, so too was an “H” put into the Branham name.
