John invites Kevin and Barbara Sisti to discuss troubling connections between the Great Communion Revival and Manifested Sons of God theology. Kevin and Barbara describe their personal encounter with Dean Briggs, who privately affirmed belief in William Branham’s teachings on manifested sonship, despite his public affiliation with IHOP. They highlight disturbing theological undercurrents in the Bethel-initiated Communion Revival, including mystical Catholic influences, dominionist language, and the revival’s stated goal to “invoke presence”—a phrase Lou Engel used without mentioning Jesus. The Sistis express concern that the event, culminating in Washington, D.C., is a covert effort to activate Manifested Sons theology under the guise of unity, communion, and revival.br br The dialogue shifts to historical roots, tracing Manifested Sons doctrine through Latter Rain, British Israelism, and Christian Identity movements. John draws parallels to his upbringing in Branhamism, where bloodline purity, communion rituals, and secret elitism were doctrinal staples. The group explores how this elitist theology has resurfaced in NAR circles, often stripped of overt racism but retaining the hierarchical and apocalyptic framework. They warn of the political implications, such as Seven Mountain Dominionism and rhetoric of sacred purge, civil war, and weaponized eschatology. The episode closes with a call for biblical literacy and discernment, urging believers to flee deceptive teachings and return to Scripture as the sole standard of truth.br br 00:00 Introduction br 00:31 Guests Kevin and Barbara share their IHOP background br 03:10 Encounter with Dean Briggs and concerns over militant theology br 04:23 The Great Communion Revival at Bethel and D.C.
