  1. THE GOSPEL OF And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office. 4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD… Numbers 3:2-4

  2. Dominionism/Triumphalism LATTER DAY RAIN New Wine or Old Heresy? The Three Waves of the End Time The Pentecostal Movement – 1914 The Charismatic Movement – 1960’s The Signs and Wonder Movement – The Third Wave The Final Fourth Wave “Restoration/Kingdom Dominion”

  3. Paul Cain Gerald Coates Rick Joyner Terry Virgo William Branham Deceased Bill Britton Deceased Marc Dupont Richard Riss The teachings of “Dominionism” through these men and hundreds of others are sweeping the church in the name of “ God Doing a New Thing”. The church better wake up! George Hawtin Deceased

  4. God’s New Thing Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them. Is 42:9 "Remember ye not the former things, neither consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert." Is 43:18-19

  5. "However, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when men will no longer say, `As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of Egypt,' 15 but they will say, `As surely as the LORD lives, who brought the Israelites up out of the land of the north and out of all the countries where he had banished them.' For I will restore them to the land I gave their forefathers. Jer. 16:14-15 When did the Latter Day New Thing New Thing Begin?

  6. The three greatest influences that led up to the 1940's Latter Day Rain outpouring were: (a) Franklin Hall - fasting and prayer for power and glory, immortality (b) William Branham - laying on of hands and words of knowledge (c) George Warnock – Future Restoration

  7. NORTH BATTLEFORD MEETINGS It was because of the teachings of Franklin Hall and the healing meetings of William Branham that three men gathered for revival meetings at North Battleford in Canada. They were GEORGE HAWTIN, PERCY HUNT and HERRICK HOLT. It was here the Latter Day Revival broke out. Then, in February 1948, the power fell. Prophecies were given that a great unstoppable new move of revival was about to begin, and would lead to God's endtime harvest. .

  8. Eventually the prophecies were exalted above the word of God. People’s lives, and ministries were destroyed as a result of accepting these prophecies. The Movement falling into disrepute and ultimately being rejected by the Pentecostal denominations. the classic Pentecostal denominations recognized the Latter Rain teachings as heresy and eventually in 1949 they officially banned Latter Rain teachers from their pulpits.

  9. The Primary Teachings of Present Dominionism 1. THE DOMINION MANDATE Adam lost his dominion over the earth in the Garden of Eden, and the Great Commission and task and destiny of the Church is therefore to recover dominion, over sin, over disease, over demons, over the whole created order, and even over death.

  10. 2. EARTHLY INHERITANCE Going to Heaven is not the goal of Latter Rain teachers! They sneer at people who have a heavenly hope. Their realm of dominion is the earth - the earth is to be restored, renewed, cleansed and purged, and they will bring heaven down to earth. Heaven is on this earth! Heaven is the kingdom within our hearts

  11. 3. RAPTURE DENIED: (Wicked Raptured) The Church is destined to be triumphant and victorious and to rule over the earth, so the Rapture teaching they believe is false - a doom and gloom, defeatist attitude. Restorationists believe it is the WICKED who will be taken out, in judgment - that God will cleanse the earth by removing all those who rebel against this great plan of redemption.

  12. But some people are removed - the wicked are taken in judgement. "It will be as in the days of Noah. How was it in Noah’s day? The flood of judgement came and took all the wicked away, and the righteous were left to inherit the earth. The wicked had been taken away - yet man has devised a theology in which it is just the opposite; they claim the righteous will be taken away. The Bible, my friend does not teach any such thing. Proverbs 3:26 - for the Lord shall be they confidence and shall keep thy foot from being taken. - it is plain here that the righteous are not taken. Well, if someone is to be taken, who is it? Proverbs 11;6 says - the transgressors shall be taken. Think of it - the transgressors shall be taken. That is not what man has taught us, is it?" Bill Britton, "A Closer Look At the Rapture", 1986

  13. This idea, of the removal of the wicked in a rapture taking them to judgment, is one that is spreading amongst Toronto Blessing supporters. Richard Riss again: "Often, the rapture is thought to involve a bodily removal of the saints. However, the Bible refers to a removal, not of the saints from among the wicked, but of the wicked from among the saints at the time of Christ's coming... "In Matthew 24:39 it says that "they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away." Who was taken away, the wicked or the righteous? If it was the wicked who were removed in the flood, then it is the wicked and the disobedient who will be removed at Christ's coming."

  14. 4. THE CHURCH IS ISRAEL Following on from the above points, it is obvious - since the church is to inherit the earth and reign with Christ - there is no role for Israel as a nation. Restoration believers generally claim that the Church is spiritual Israel, who will inherit the promises.

  15. 5. APOSTLES AND PROPHETS RESTORED The Five-fold Priesthood is supposed to emerge in the endtimes to restore the Church to perfection; Apostles, Prophets and Teachers must prepare the way, like John the Baptist, for a new appearance of the Christ. The restoration of the gifts and ministries to the Church is designed to bring it to "fullness". These authoritarian leaders will judge and purge the Church until it is one undivided Body in the earth.

  16. Zech 10:1-5 Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain (Latter Rain) -- the LORD who makes the storm clouds; and He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to {each} man. For the teraphim speak iniquity, and the diviners see lying visions, and tell false dreams; they comfort in vain. Therefore {the people} wander like sheep, they are afflicted, because there is no shepherd." My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats; for the LORD of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, and will make them like His majestic horse in battle." From them will come the cornerstone, from them the tent peg, from them the bow of battle, from them every ruler, {all} of them together." And they will be as mighty men, treading down {the enemy} in the mire of the streets in battle; and they will fight, for the LORD {will be} with them; and the riders on horses will be put to shame.(NAS)

  17. Terry Virgo says the CORNERSTONE is the Apostle, the TENT PEG is the Prophet, the BOW OF BATTLE is the Evangelist, and the RULERS are the shepherds. Terry Virgo then claims, from this passage, that these ministries are given to the Church in order to build them up into the full stature of Christ - One Mature Man. He is speaking of the Corporate Christ. Terry leads 300 churches with apostles and prophets. He is a leading voice today in Restoration Theology.

  18. The Fivefold Annointing Eph. 4:11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers • Apostles • Prophets • Evangelists • Pastors • Teachers Premise – Proper church government has been lost and in “the latter day rain” the government will be restored.

  19. Definitions Apostles – “Sent One” Gr. Apostolos Dominionist say: They are for the ordering and direction of the church. They have the highest authority. They have the power of ex-communication, and cursing. To go against them is to go against God. “Touch not the Lord’s annointed…)

  20. Definitions Prophets – Gr. Prophetes { pro – phay – tace ) Combination of “Pro” before – “Phemi” – to make known or declare They are God’s mouthpiece to say what they have received by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, especially those things pertaining to future events. Domionists say: They speak ex-cathedra on matters of doctrine and practice. Their utterances are authoratative.

  21. Definitions Evangelists – Gr. euaggelistes {yoo-ang-ghel-is-tace} Messengers of glad tidings or good news Pastors – Gr. poimen {poy-mane} Shepherds Teachers - Gr. didaskalos {did-as'-kal-os} People who teach the word of God Dominionists say: They are not to be questioned as long as they stay in the realm of the message of the apostles and prophets. They are to be rejected if they go against higher authority.

  22. Implications • A new structure of authority is created that will speak with absoluteness which will include “New Revelation”. • The teaching of “sola scriptura” must be jettisoned. The saints must put their trust into the hands of the anointed interpreters. These anointed ones will be the final arbiters in matters of faith, doctrine, and practice.

  23. Where there more than Twelve apostles? Yes Then the priest of Jupiter, which was before their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, and would have done sacrifice with the people. 14 [Which] when the apostles , Barnabas and Paul, heard [of], they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, 15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: Acts 14: 13-15 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labor on us. 7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are of note among the apostles , who also were in Christ before me. Rom. 16:6

  24. Refutation Rev. 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: These are the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand and walks among the seven golden lamp stands: 2 I know your deeds, your hard work and your perseverance. I know that you cannot tolerate wicked men, that you have tested those who claim to be apostles but are not, and have found them false. There are people who profess to be apostles but are not, therefore they must be tested by the word of God I Jn. 4:1 Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world

  25. HOW TO TEST FOR A TRUE APOSTLE A true apostle had to be a witness of the resurrection   Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. 23 And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all [men], shew whether of these two thou hast chosen, 25 That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which

  26. Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. 26 And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles . Acts 1:21-26   And with great power gave the apostles witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus: and great grace was upon them all. Acts 4:33 True apostle must have the signs of an apostle (All patience - Signs - Wonders - Mighty deeds) And they continued stedfastly in the apostles ' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles . Acts 2:42

  27. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people.. Acts 5:12 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me: for I ought to have been commended of you: for in nothing am I behind the very chiefest apostles , though I be nothing. 12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds. II Cor. 12:11-12

  28. True apostles must preach the true Jesus and gospel. But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ. 4 For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things. 5 For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles . 6 But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you. 7 Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward? 8 I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

  29. 9 And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so. 10 As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia. 11 Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge. 12 But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are. 13 For such men are false Apostles , workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

  30. And it is no wonder; for even Satan himself is able to take the form of an angel of light. 15 So it is no great thing if his servants make themselves seem to be servants of righteousness; whose end will be the reward of their works. II Cor. 11: 3-15

  31. True apostles sought no glory for themselves But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, Who tests our hearts. 5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as you know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness: True apostles were gentle to the people of God. 6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor [yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurse cherishes her children: 8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.

  32. True apostles did not emphasize wealth and offerings 9 For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God. 10 Ye [are] witnesses, and God [also], how holily and justly and unblameably we behaved ourselves among you that believe: True apostles ministered as a father ministers to his children. 11 As ye know how we exhorted and comforted and charged every one of you, as a father [doth] his children, 12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. I Thess. 2:4-12

  33. True Apostles were despised wanderers evangelizing For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 10 We [are] fools for Christ's sake, but ye [are] wise in Christ; we [are] weak, but ye [are] strong; ye [are] honourable, but we [are] despised. 11 Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwellingplace; 12 And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: 13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, [and are] the offscouring of all things unto this day. I Cor. 4:9-13

  34. 6. UNITY Perfect unity of the Body is seen as absolutely essential. The Prayer of John 17, that they might be One, has not yet been fulfilled according to many today. For the world will not truly "see" Christ until the Body is united around the world, and manifesting Christ corporately. What is proposed, therefore, is not just a spiritual unity with each other and with Jesus, but a perfection, all thinking and believing alike, one organic whole.

  35. 7. THE RELIGIOUS ARE BABYLON Those who question the Toronto experience are being called "religious". This also comes straight out of the Latter Rain teachings! Denominations and anti-restoration believers are "part of the old order"; they are the Harlot Babylon, religious legalists, and new order believers must leave if they want to be part of the Latter Rain revival.

  36. 8. JESUS THE PATTERN SON It is taught that the Church must grow as he did to full maturity, until it can take dominion and have all power and authority as he has.

  37. 9. THE ELIJAH COMPANY In Latter Rain thinking, there are not one, but two bodies we have to deal with - the Bride of Christ, and the Body of Christ. The Body must grow to perfection within the womb of the global church (The Bride), be brought to birth, and only then be manifested to the world as its rulers. The type often used is that of the Virgin and Christ-Child. Just as Mary brought forth Jesus into the world, so the woman, the Bride of Christ has to bring the Corporate Christ into the world through her travail.

  38. 10. THE RAPTURE = THE BIRTH OF THE MANCHILD: Since Jesus is the Pattern, it is believed that the Man child, the Corporate Christ, follows the pattern of the ministry of Jesus This group thus receives a baptism of fire, then has a signs and wonder ministry for for three and a half years in increasing persecution from the religious "old order", for the perfect New Order has not yet come.

  39. 11. SPIRITUAL WARFARE This Corporate Christ has power over all demons and will wage war in the heavenlies and pull down the satanic strongholds. They will take their place as the world's spiritual rulers.

  40. 12. ALL ENEMIES DESTROYEDChurch and World Judged by Man child The final phase, following the manifestation to the world of the Sons of God, the Manchild Company, are that they rule and reign in the heavenlies (ie by virtue of their spiritual transformation).

  41. Where in all this doctrine (you may be thinking) is the Lord Jesus? It seems as if the Church does all the revealing, the warfare, the teaching, the judging. No doubt, for the Church is seen as God's Body on earth. So it is that when three and a half years of persecution are completed, the Woman emerges purified in order to join her spouse, the Manchild company, to inherit the restored earth. Has Jesus Christ come back physically by this time? No, not even now is Christ the Lord expected to return, for "he" (in his Body) "must reign" until ALL his enemies, including death itself, are put under "his feet" - the CHURCH!

  42. WHERE IS THIS TEACHING LEADING US? The concepts of the new revelations, the inner light, spiritual evolution, and especially the setting up of a powerful ruling elite in a kingdom on earth, are opening us up for the reign of Antichrist. There is little in the above teaching that could not be mistaken for the doctrine of the New Age. Indeed, I believe it comes from the same spirit, and is producing not release but delusion for the many thousands who adopt it.
