Rev. Clarence Larkin (1850–1924) was an American Baptist pastor, Bible teacher and author who wrote extensively on Dispensationalism. While William Branham only mentions Clarence Larkin four times in all his recorded sermons, he drew heavily from him but never gave Larkin the credit for these teachings. | Rev.

But, somehow or other'n, I thought I had a--a little view of it, myself, that might be of places different. ...But then just before it happened, I was given a vision, which is on tape, as you all know, Sirs, What Time Is It? that I should go to Tucson, Arizona.

William Branham appears to be saying that he didn't agree with Larkin or other commentators that he read. This gives the impression that the doctrine he preached were either his own original ideas or he received his teachings directly from the Angel (and not from anywhere else).

His head and His hair was white like wool. Now, '''it does not mean that He was aged that did this'''. That wasn't the reason of it. '''He wasn't aged to do this.''' He was... It was because of His experience and qualification and His wisdom. Because He's eternal, and eternal cannot age. | |||
All right, now '''Daniel 7:9'''... "White hair..." All... Anybody knows that's the old judges in ancient days, like '''English judges''' used to wear a snow white wig. How many remembers that? Old ancient judges wore a white wig because they was... And here He is, showing again that John's over in the Lord's day; he saw Him as the Judge (Amen.), not as Priest, not as King, not as Prophet, but as Judge. The Father, Saint John 5: 22, committed all judgment to Him. And He's Judge now, come to judge the nations. Oh, for that day when you see Him like that. His hair was as white as snow; Daniel saw Him coming to the '''Ancient of days'''. Watch Him blend these two together. All right. | |||

1. His Hair as White as Snow. | 1. His Hair as White as Snow. | ||
John first notices and mentions the whiteness of His hair. It was white, and as bright as snow. This was not because of His age. Oh, no. The brilliantly white hair does not signify age but experience, maturity, and wisdom. The Eternal One does not age. What is time to God? Time means little to God, but wisdom means much. It is as when Solomon called to God for wisdom to judge the people of Israel. Now He is coming, the Judge of all the earth. He will be crowned with wisdom. That is what the white and glistening hair signifies. See this in Daniel 7:9-14 | John first notices and mentions the whiteness of His hair. It was white, and as bright as snow.

There it is. Daniel saw Him with that white hair. He was the Judge opening the books and judging out of them. Daniel saw Him coming in clouds. That is exactly what John saw... | |||
Even the world understands this symbology, for in ancient times the '''judge''' would appear and convene court, dressed in a '''white wig''' and a long robe that signified his complete authority (head to foot robe) to mete out justice. | |||

His “Head” and “Hair” were “WHITE LIKE WOOL,” as “WHITE AS SNOW.” Here there is a correspondence to the “Snow White Wig” worn by English judges. This description of Christ reminds us of Daniel’s vision of the “ANCIENT OF DAYS,” “whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the PURE WOOL.” Dan. 7:9.

And as the title “Ancient of Days” is applied to the “Son of Man” (Christ) at the time He assumes the Judgeship ('''Dan. 7:9–10''')... | |||
...'''not that His hair was made white by age''', for the Eternal never grows old, but it bespeaks wisdom and experience, and the venerableness of His character. | |||
