John and Charles discuss the origins, evolution, and impact of the Manifested Sons of God teaching, tracing its lineage from early movements through the Latter Rain era and into modern expressions within the New Apostolic Reformation. They compare the premillennial and amillennial branches of this belief, exploring how each integrates the doctrine into its end-times framework, and showing how it connects to related ideas such as fivefold ministry, positive confession, and kingdom theology. The conversation highlights the doctrine’s historical cycles of rapid growth, collapse, and reinvention, and examines how these cycles have led to authoritarian leadership models, theological distortions, and harmful consequences for followers.<br /><br />They also reflect on their personal experiences within the movement, offering warnings about its adaptability and persistence over centuries. By examining key figures, organizations, and ideological shifts, they reveal how certain strands of this belief system intersected with racial theories, dominionist ambitions, and a tendency toward high-control structures. Throughout, they emphasize the importance of identifying and removing the underlying theological framework to break the repeating cycle of harm, encouraging listeners to pursue healthier spiritual paths free from manipulative systems.<br /> <br />00:00 Introduction<br />00:31 Tracing Latter Rain to the New Apostolic Reformation<br />04:33 Variations of Manifested Sons of God Beliefs<br />07:32 Premillennial vs. Amillennial Schism<br />10:50 Amillennial Influence in the NAR<br />14:18 Christian Identity Roots and Early Influences<br />18:13 Early Latter Rain Teachings and Schisms<br />21:33 How the Ideology Creates Radical Behavior<br />23:54 British Israelism and Pentecostal Origins<br />26:21 Boom-and-Bust Cycles in History<br />30:05 Unlocking History Through Two Core Theologies<br />33:43 Evolution of Beliefs from Jane Leade to Today<br />36:37 Pursuit of the Last Day Revival<br />39:46 Pinky and the Brain Analogy for Manifested Sons of God<br />42:17 Root Cause: Ideology, Not Demons or Flesh<br />44:01 Premillennial vs. Amillennial Dangers<br />46:51 Harm and Responsibility in Leadership Failures<br />50:17 Avoiding Parallel Latter Rain Movements After Leaving the Message<br />52:05 Influence on Broader Christianity<br />54:23 Cult Structures and Layers of Commitment<br />55:36 Common Elements That Trap People<br />56:54 Prophecy Failure and Increased Radicalization<br />58:49 Sympathy for Those Trapped in the Ideology<br />1:00:05 Closing Remarks and Next Steps<br />______________________<br />Weaponized Religion: From Christian Identity to the NAR:<br />Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1735160962<br />Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DCGGZX3K<br />______________________<br />– Support the channel: https://www.patreon.com/branham<br />– Subscribe to the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBSpezVG15TVG-lOYMRXuyQ<br />– Visit the website: https://william-branham.org<br />– Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WilliamBranhamOrg <br />– Follow on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@william.m.branham<br />– Follow on Tw
