The Emphatic Diaglott is a Greek Interlinear version of the New Testament published by the Watchtower Society<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphatic_Diaglott Wikipedia article on the Emphatic Diaglott]</ref>, so William Branham's suggestion that it contains a reference to Genesis 17 is specious. Additionally, William Branham, in the second quote above, admits that he did not use the Thompson Chain Reference Bible, so his reference to it is hypothetical and based on assumption. The Bible that he admits to using almost exclusively is the Scofield Bible. | The Emphatic Diaglott is a Greek Interlinear version of the New Testament published by the Watchtower Society<ref>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emphatic_Diaglott Wikipedia article on the Emphatic Diaglott]</ref>, so William Branham's suggestion that it contains a reference to Genesis 17 is specious.

The "Thompson Chain" is only referred to by Branham on 4 occasions and always in the same paragraph as a reference to the Scofield Bible. | ||
Interestingly, William Branham [[Plagiarism|plagiarized Clarence Larkin's works on a significant basis]] but only mentions him 3 times in all of his sermons and never by attribution of an idea that he took from Larkin. Scofield, on the other hand, is mentioned over 40 times. | Interestingly, William Branham [[Plagiarism|plagiarized Clarence Larkin's works on a significant basis]] but only mentions him 3 times in all of his sermons and never by attribution of an idea that he took from Larkin.
