What Is The Seven Mountain Mandate?

Charlie Kirk has been pushing this mandate that Trump and John seem to have adopted. Was the assassin threatened by this? They aired a photograph of the suspect – who may be taken alive – and talk!

This is the bottom line of the prophecy. The End Times arrive, and most of the world is destroyed. Why believers in mass destruction, where ten thousand tl building are brought down – full of screaming people! Nothing will be – as it was! All will be destroyed! Belle’s apothecary shack – must burn in hell. Are we looking at Trump’s

BIG BAD-ASS BUSINESS PLAN?

What brought us here, is RELIGIOUS ADDICTION. Every Sunday THE INJECTION has to be more powerful. This is why The Big Doom is going after the Arts – and Hollywood!

“Followers believe that by fulfilling the Seven Mountain Mandate, they can establish the kingdom of God on earth and bring about the end times.[9][5]

The concept of tall buildings or “towers” collapsing in the End Times is found in various religious and apocalyptic traditions, including interpretations of Christian scripture. While the texts do not explicitly mention modern skyscrapers, they are often interpreted as prophecies about the downfall of symbols of human pride and civilization.

In the Bible

Several Old Testament passages refer to the collapse of tall structures, which are sometimes interpreted in an End Times context.

  • Isaiah 30:25 speaks of towers falling on “the day of great slaughter”.
  • Jeremiah 50:15 describes the towers of Babylon falling as part of God’s vengeance.
  • The story of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 is a foundational narrative about the limits of human ambition and serves as a precedent for End Times interpretations.

In other traditions

Some Islamic prophecies mention a time when people of the desert will build increasingly tall buildings, which is interpreted by many as referring to modern construction in the Arabian Peninsula, potentially connected to End Times events.

Modern interpretations and concerns

Modern interpretations of collapsing skyscrapers in an End Time scenario are also influenced by contemporary fears like climate change and the 9/11 attacks. Some apocalyptic narratives link the collapse of modern infrastructure to environmental events, while the collapse of the World Trade Center highlighted the symbolism of falling towers in the context of human conflict. Concerns about technological fragility and societal collapse also contribute to fears of modern buildings falling into disrepair.

Thematic meaning

The collapse of tall buildings in an End Time context often symbolizes divine judgment against human pride, a reminder of human mortality and the temporary nature of achievements, and a call to repentance.

The Seven Mountain Mandate, also Seven Mountains Mandate7M,[1] 7MM,[2] or Seven Mountains Dominionism,[3] is a dominionist conservative Christian ideology within evangelical Christianity, particularly independent Charismatic groups.[1][4][5] It holds that there are seven aspects of society that believers seek to dominate: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government.[6]

It originated from a perceived divine message to evangelicals Loren CunninghamBill Bright, and Francis Schaeffer to influence seven key areas of society. Initially, Cunningham framed these spheres as a framework for evangelism rather than cultural takeover. Over time, particularly after the 2000 meeting between Cunningham and Lance Wallnau and the 2013 publication of Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate by Wallnau and Bill Johnson, the movement adopted a more dominion-oriented focus, encouraging strategic social and political influence. It has been linked to the New Apostolic Reformation and gained visibility through figures like Paula White and support for Donald Trump, with a 2024 poll indicating that 41% of American Christians believe in 7MM.

The movement’s theology is based on biblical passages like Revelation 17:9 and Isaiah 2:2, promoting the idea that Christians should actively take control of the seven societal “mountains” to establish God’s kingdom on Earth. Adherents use spiritual warfare tactics, prophecy, and intercession to attempt to influence these spheres. Organizations such as 7M Films and Ziklag operate under its principles, and prominent political figures, including Michele Bachmann and Lauren Boebert are followers. Critics argue that 7MM mirrors ideological state apparatuses described by Marxist theorists.

History

See also: New Apostolic Reformation

The movement is believed by its followers to have begun in 1975 with a purported message from God delivered to evangelicals Loren CunninghamBill Bright, and Francis Schaeffer ordering them to invade the “seven spheres” of society identified as family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. A few weeks after the 1975 meeting between Cunningham and Bright, Cunningham heard Francis Schaeffer make a similar argument about taking dominion over seven different cultural areas: family, religion, education, media, art, economics, and government. Cunningham originally saw the spheres as a framework for evangelism and “Great Commission strategies,” not for taking dominion over culture.[7]

Jeff Fountain, who spent over 40 years with YWAM, thought Cunningham’s teaching on “the seven spheres” was being distorted. He said over time Cunningham’s original list of six classrooms (church, family, arts and entertainment, media, education and government) became seven when economics was added. He remembered a discussion at YWAM following Cunningham’s telling of his new awareness that missions involved more than just evangelism, that suggested business should be included. Fountain thought when Cunningham taught about the seven spheres, he was not encouraging others to “storm these mountains” or take them by force. Rather, he believed that Cunningham urged faithful engagement “in the various spheres of life, as salt and light, as yeast, as planted mustard seeds.”[8]

The idea was not more widely known until 2000 during a meeting between Cunningham and Lance Wallnau. A rhetorical shift of imagery began to transform a post millennial theology of cultural spheres for evangelism and discipleship into one of pursuing social transformation through dominion theology. The movement came to prominence after the 2013 publication of Wallnau’s and Bill Johnson‘s Invading Babylon: The 7 Mountain Mandate.[9][10]

The movement was generally supportive of the presidency of Donald Trump, with member Paula White becoming Trump’s spiritual advisor. In 2020, Charlie Kirk said, “finally we have a president that understands the seven mountains of cultural influence” during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference.[9]

Some scholars have stated that “most if not all of the [Seven Mountain Mandate] leaders can be found within the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) movement.”[11] It has also been described as holding “revelation status” in the NAR.[12] Christianity Today has called the Seven Mountain Mandate an “ideological feature” of the NAR and Independent Network Charismatic Christianity parts of the Neo-charismatic movement.[13]

A January 2024 Denison University poll found 41% of American Christians believe in 7MM.[2]

Theory

The Seven Mountain Mandate is part of dominionism.[14]

The biblical base for the movement is derived from Revelation 17:118, wherein verse 9 reads, “And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains”.[14] The seven areas that the movement believe influence society and that they seek to influence are family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government.[14] They believe that their mission to influence the world through these seven spheres is justified by Isaiah 2:2 “Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established on the top of the mountains.”[9]

By using strategic spiritual warfare, adherents attempt to gain control of the seven mountains by researching and mapping the geographical strongholds of territorial spirits, using prophecy from the movement’s prophets to determine the demons’ names and roles, and intercession in which they pray on-site to rid the location or “mountain” of demons.[5]

Followers believe that by fulfilling the Seven Mountain Mandate, they can establish the kingdom of God on earth and bring about the end times.[9][5]

Organizations

7M Films

7M Films is a talent management agency accused of cult-like behaviour.[15][16]

Criticism

In 2018, Richard Tanksley and Marlin Schaich argued that primary aspects of the Seven Mountain Mandate are “nearly identical to the ideological state apparatuses (ISAs) developed by Louis Althusser…on the basis of the theories of Karl MarxAntonio Gramsci, and others”.[24]
