The Seven Mountain Prophecy


What's the second line of the Lord's prayer? It's the line after you say "gidday"(Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name)

Thy Kingdom come!
Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.

We are praying for God to establish His Kingdom on earth and for His agenda to be established to reflect His heavenly rule. Have we understood that? Examine the words. We are asking for heaven to be established on earth, literally. We are not praying for more converts or swelling congregations. We are not praying for the rapture. We are praying for the deposing of the Prince of this World, the overthrow of evil. We are asking for the destruction of the destroyers and the disclosure of all liars. A time is coming, and many believe we are in the last days now, when the doers of evil will be thrown off their high places into the pit where they belong. And guess whose responsibility and privilege it is to do the throwing....us Christians! Don't expect to sit back on your Davenports watching Jesus smash the demons on Fox whilst waiting for your boarding call for the rapture.

In "The Seven Mountain Prophecy" by Johnny Enlow, he makes the case that an "Elijah Revolution" is coming upon the earth. By that he means that the world will be shaken in the last days and God's people will left standing to topple the evil doers from their high places of power to establish the Kingdom and it will take place much like a tsunami, an unstoppable force of complete conquest. As John the Baptist ushered in the ministry of Jesus and was compared to Elijah, so shall the body of believers finally fulfill the "Thy will be done" bit and then Jesus returns. And as the Israelites wandered the desert for 40 years before entering the Promised Land, so too have Christians wandered the last 2000 years waiting to enter our Promised Kingdom on earth.

The prophecy had its origins in 1975 when Bill Bright (Campus Crusade) & Lauren Cunningham (YWAM) were en route to meet when they separately had the same vision. They saw that the way to establish the kingdom was to claim back the seven mountains of influence on earth...the media, government, economy, religion, education, arts & family. It's best explained in this short video:

Like all books and theories attempting to propose scenarios for the end times, it's going to be controversial. This is what I have come away with. The earth is indeed being shaken at present as various global crises seem to be converging. The believer is best equipped to endure the shaking process. The seven mountains are correctly identified as the major command centres for evil. Each one of us should have an affinity or passion for one or more of these mountains and we should explore with God what our role should be to reclaim territory for the Kingdom. We shouldn't be copping out by sitting on our backsides waiting to be raptured. We should be thinking big...this is David vs Goliath. The task seems impossible, but it's meant to be that way.

"Let's roll!"

What a load of tripe.This is nothing more than recycled dominionist theology, and totally unscriptural at that.If you took the time to read Gods Word you would soon discover two things,the seven mountains of influence is no where to be found, and second, Gods Kingdom has come,in the form of the Holy Spirit.Better to read the true word and ask for understanding than read the garbage sprouting forth from man and be totally confused.

I agree with Anonymous (31-10-09). The Christian mandate is not to try to create a "perfect" world before Jesus returns, but to preach the gospel, save souls, feed the poor, cast out demons, heal the sick, and so on. Derek, you're a good man, but you're wasting a huge amount of time and energy on conspiracy theories. Didn't you learn anything from that apocalypse beach party you attended? The day the world was supposed to end but didn't?

I comment from the other end of the Earth: The Seven Mountain Prophecy is the answer to Isai 5:13and Hos 4:6. To those who disagree: just where and how are you involved in your community to uplift Christianity in all spheres of life? - James
