Matthew Taylor's exploration of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is enormously important.

I will watch this tonight. The thought popped into my mind, last night, that Waco and the branch davidians was some kind of dry run, pilot project for what is taking place now. It was a terrifying thought! I'm not sure there is anything to this but I am giving it a little bit of my attention to see if anything clicks into place. I'm looking forward to watching the documentary =]

It's not a totally crazy thought, though there are not direct theological ties between the Branch Davidians and the NAR. That said, one of Trump's first campaign events was in Waco on the anniversary of the tragedy/massacre/intervention there, and his people were very much drawing ties to the whole Branch Davidian episode. Also the name "Koresh" is just a transliteration of "Cyrus," the biblical figure many evangelicals and NAR leaders equate with Trump. Check out this Twitter thread I did about that event: https://twitter.com/TaylorMatthewD/status/1641283255348469761

Whoh!!! Thanks for the info, I really appreciate this kind of info. I do not have a stake in the religious aspect of what is going on, so I'm very grateful to you and others that are sharing these kinds of insights =]

I'm sorry but how can so any people be so stupid. I would love to know how many private jets and multi-million dollar homes are owned by the leaders of this movement. Conmen - every last one.
