Beginning with the roots of Christian identity and early fundamentalism, they examine how various revivals, notably the Latter Rain movement, laid foundational ideas that later influenced groups in the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). They provide insights into the darker aspects of this history, including the politicization of faith and the rebranding of ideological undercurrents over time, presenting a critique of movements that merge dominion theology with traditional beliefs.<br /><br />Throughout the conversation, they shed light on figures like William Branham and Charles Finney, exploring how their teachings contributed to the Latter Rain movement and subsequent ideologies. The hosts critique the ways revivals can blur the line between spiritual pursuit and social control, citing historical examples to underscore the potential dangers of such movements. The discussion concludes by emphasizing the importance of discernment, encouraging listeners to examine the historical context of these movements with a critical eye.<br /><br />00:00 Introduction<br />00:31 History of Christian Identity and Fundamentalism Fusion<br />1:05 Birth and Rebranding of the Latter Rain Movement<br />2:04 Examining the Dark Side of Revival History<br />4:11 Introduction of the Dominion Mandate<br />6:08 Government Crackdown on Pentecostal Practices<br />7:05 Deism and Rise of Pentecostal Revivalism<br />8:23 Christian Identity’s Influence on Government Opposition<br />9:50 Historical Fanaticism and Forced Revival<br />12:00 Misguided Revival Efforts in the 1940s<br />13:11 Latter Rain’s Influence on New Apostolic Reformation<br />14:52 Legacy of Spiritual Manipulation<br />16:35 Historical Revivals and Emotionalism<br />18:42 Jonathan Edwards’ Revival Concerns<br />20:58 Charles Finney and Emotional Revivalism<br />23:18 William Branham’s Influence on Latter Rain<br />26:11 Convergence of Apostasy and False Teachings<br />28:47 Role of Fasting and Spiritualism in Revival Movements<br />31:36 False Adoption Teachings and Joel’s Army Ideology<br />34:20 Criticism of Signs and Wonders as Validations<br />37:06 Roots of Modern Dominionism and Supernaturalism<br />40:03 Repeated Cycles of Revival and Control<br />43:16 Dark Foundations of the New Apostolic Reformation<br />46:07 Summoning Power and Spiritual Manipulation<br />49:52 Concluding Thoughts and Warnings<br /><br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit
