The more I google and have crossreferences...the weirder it gets...I am only glad...they (TOS)have little "hits" at youtube etc.
They definitely seem to be into the 3rd wave type of ministries like spiritual warfare...prayer chains...etc

Richard, take another look at the video in Bruce Wilson’s article on TOS Congregation, Tubingen dancing at Hohenzollern Castle.
This is also one of the New Apostolics – Jobst Bittner, part of the European network of the Apostles and Prophets. Bittner and Apostle George Markakis (one of Wagner’s Apostles in the International Coalition of Apostles) of Greece are part of something called Defend Europe which is also using this same idea of taking control of territory by fighting demons and principalities. They tried all night prayer, fasting, and spiritual warfare to try to put a stop to the Olympics in Athens. They see themselves as the Sons of Zion fighting the Sons of Greece, one of the major principalities over Europe.
In the Hohenzollern video Jobst Bittner’s TOS is celebrating “Davidic dance” and “Davidic warfare.” I have collected numerous examples of similar Davidic warfare from all over the world and studied the meaning of the imagery which symbolizes the restoration of the Tabernacle of David, worship which they state was preferred by God over that of the Levitical priesthood, and represents the return of Jesus.
Bittner is a major leader in the growing partnership of the New Apostolics with Messianic Jews and works with Messianic musicians and fundraising. Bittner states that they are restoring Jewish life in Tubingen through this New Apostolic/Messianic partnership. This year Bittner brought his Messianic Holocaust memorial marches to the U.S.

Thanks, this brings together several strands of interest to me: Spiritual Warfare, Christian Zionism, and the appropriation of Jewish culture.
