The hosts discuss the emerging doctrinal themes of the NAR, such as dominion theology and end-time prophecies, questioning their alignment with traditional Christian beliefs. They highlight disturbing elements within the NAR, such as the militarization of theology and the conflation of Christian and non-Christian spiritual ideas, warning that these trends may lead to a false kingdom with a false Christ. The conversation reflects on how the NAR borrows from both New Age and Gnostic teachings, with figures like Jane Leade and Alice Bailey being cited for their influence on modern religious movements.<br /><br />As the hosts explore these connections, they focus on the alarming parallels between the NAR and occult beliefs. They discuss figures like Aleister Crowley and his influence on religious thinking, and how some NAR leaders are adopting practices and ideologies that align with esoteric and Luciferian thought. The episode also reflects on how deceptive teachings can slowly erode the line between good and evil, leading believers into dangerous territory. By tracing the theological roots and contemporary manifestations of these movements, the hosts provide a critical analysis that seeks to expose their underlying dangers, particularly for Christians who may unknowingly be led astray by these teachings.<br /><br />00:00 Introduction <br />02:00 Discussing Apostasy and the New Apostolic Reformation <br />04:45 Connections between Christian Identity and the NAR <br />07:30 Military Leaders and Theological Influence in Religious Movements <br />09:45 Theological Comparisons Between NAR and New Age Beliefs <br />12:00 Year of Jubilee Theology and Its Implications <br />15:00 The Role of Jane Leade and Esoteric Teachings in Modern Movements <br />19:30 Influence of Gnostic Beliefs on Latter Rain and NAR <br />23:00 The Power of Laying on of Hands in Religious Movements <br />27:30 Exploring the "Converging Apostasy" and Its Doctrinal Themes <br />31:00 Universal Salvation and the Reconciliation of Lucifer in Jane Leade's Teachings <br />34:15 Discussion on Sophia and Lucifer in Religious and Esoteric Thought <br />38:00 The Influence of UFO Theology and Signs and Wonders <br />41:00 Ongoing Revelation and the Influence of Esotericists on NAR <br />44:15 Influence of Satanist and Gnostic Teachings on NAR Ideologies <br />49:00 The Role of Angels and Spirit Beings in NAR Theology <br />53:00 Reflecting on the Impact of the Message Cult on Modern NAR Teachings <br />57:00 Book Announcements and Final Thoughts on Apostasy<br /><br />The Converging Apostasy:<br />https://a.co/d/5zZiRRW<br /><br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.c
