===Plagiarism in the Church Ages===
NOTE: William Branham's book "An Exposition of the Seven Church Ages" (which is commonly referred to as the "Church Age Book" or the CAB) contains all of the plagiarism noted in his sermon series on the Seven Church Ages which were delivered in December, 1960.  Most of the references in this article relating to the church ages are primarily to the actual sermons and not to the CAB.  While the CAB contains all of the plagiarized text referred to here, some have said that the plagiarism in the CAB was the direct result of the involvement of Lee Vayle and, therefore, cannot be attributed to William Branham himself.  The quotes contained below, however, clearly show that William Branham was the one that plagiarized Clarence Larkin's works.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list of all of William Branham's teachings that were "borrowed" from Clarence Larkin.  However, it should be obvious to any one that is not under the thrall of [[Cognitive Dissonance|cognitive dissonance]] that William Branham's major doctrines on the Book of Revelation and other important concepts originated in Clarence Larkin's books.
