In the 1960's, William Branham wrote a book on the seven church ages. In it, he detailed the Nicolatiatine doctrine, the Balaamism, and the teachings of Jezebel, as discussed in the first three chapters of the book of Revelation.
Today, a popular teacher discusses a rendition of the Seven Mountains in which those at the top of the mountain control the rest, and we aspire to climb to the top of the mountain and capture and rule it for the Kingdom of God.
This video places certain parts of this Mountain Mandate teaching side-by-side with what I consider to be one of the best looks at the subject of the religious spirit in this century, if not longer. While I neither fully endorse everything William Branham proposed in his book, nor do I fully reject everything about Mr. Wallnau, I am also thoroughly convinced that, as presented today, the Seven Mountains strategy is as much wrong as it is right.
To that end, this video attempts to divide soul and Spirit, joint and marrow, to the thoughts and intents of the heart, using the sword of the Spirit and the revelation of a prophet of the previous generation, to raise up a true, righteous, and holy standard, by which a church today who is hungry for the Real Jesus Christ to step out of confusion, out of the winds and waves of every new, passing fad and doctrine, into true, Gospel faith and light.
My thanks to William Marrion Branham for his insight, and his faithfulness to present it as best he could, errors or no errors. He saw better than most.

I don't understand your message. Are you saying Branham's message on the seven church ages condemns the teaching on the seven mountains? What is wrong with ministering in the respective place God has positioned you in?

@glasshouseization As presented by Mr. Wallnau, in most regards yes. If that was all that Mr. W was saying, it would be sufficient. What he adds to it, however, is man and self, and not God. I'm saying, if you listen to the words spoken, compare to the words written, and those of the Gospels, they are not the same. If Jesus conquered the world by becoming of no reputation, then what Mr. W presents is absolute garbage. Suffice to say, follow God, whether high or low, and remember, God is judge.
