==Larkin was mentioned by Branham== | |||

:''I've been reading '''Dr. Larkin's book''', Dr. Smith's book, Dr. Scofield's notes, different commentaries from men everywhere, and yet I '''cannot put theirs together to make it come out right'''.<ref>GABRIEL'S.INSTRUCTIONS.TO.DANIEL JEFF.IN 61-0730M</ref> | |||
:''And so, no doubt that down through the age there has been hundreds times hundreds of people, scholars, abled men, trying to explain what these seventy of weeks were. And I've read many of their commentaries on it. And I'm very grateful to Mr. Smith of the Adventist church for his views. '''I'm very grateful to Dr. Larkin of his views.''' I'm grateful to all these great scholars for their views on this. And in reading them, it enlightens me much that '''I can find places that looks right.
