There is a “movement” of God taking place throughout the earth today called the Seven Mountain Mandate or Seven Mountain Prophecy. If you aren't familiar with it the concept behind it is to influence every area of society and culture with the Kingdom of God, plain and simple. Attached to this “movement” is the word dominionisim; an intimidating and frightening word at best.
Definition: Dominionism, or Christian Dominionism is a term coined by social scientists and popularized by journalists to refer to a subset of American Christianity that is conservative, politically active, and believes that Christians should, and eventually will, take control of the government.
The above definition is an incorrect interpretation of the move of God now taking root among Believers in Christ Jesus, the Messiah. It is a wicked (twisted) definition.
You could go and read thousands of books and interpretations of this present “movement”, but I am going to define it simply and in plain language to capture the Fathers’ Heart in this movement that has been defined by man, commercialized and sensationalized and quite frankly been turned into a million dollar industry. Don’t get me wrong, there are aspects of the movement which are of God. However, If you don’t guard your heart and mind and arm yourself with the Spirit of Truth (Word of God) the deceptive spirits of greed, pride, mammon, Jezebel…and a host of other demonic influences will divert you off course.
So here it is…
In Matthew 5:5 while Jesus is teaching His disciples (disciplined students/followers; or Talmudim in Hebrew) He says, “ And the meek shall inherit the earth.”
Definitions:
1. Meek: Biblical meekness is not weakness but rather refers to exercising God's strength under His control – i.e. demonstrating power without undue harshness. [The English term "meek" often lacks this blend – i.e. of gentleness (reserve) and strength.]
Earth: The word for earth is the same word Jesus (Yeshua) uses in Matthew 13:5 in the parable of the seed and the sower… Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth:
We can conclude the earth Jesus (Yeshua) is talking about in both of these verses of scripture is the physical ground, the dirt.
I. arable land
II. the ground, the earth as a standing place
III. the main land as opposed to the sea or water
IV. the earth as a whole
A. the earth as opposed to the heavens
B. the inhabited earth, the abode of men and animals
V. a country, land enclosed within fixed boundaries, a tract of land, territory, region
Are you with me?
Now, let’s look at Isaiah 2:2--
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
In Isaiah 2:2 the Mountains in the bible represent government, kingdoms. So the mountain of the LORD’S house is symbolic of the Kingdom of God on earth….the other mountains and hills, we can conclude (in context) are referring to the kingdoms or governments of the earth.
When Jesus (Yeshua) walked on the earth, He influenced everyone He came in contact with…He even influenced the systems of the day…think about the Roman government and the religious systems of the day…think about how He influenced those who followed and learned from Him.
Definition:
Influence: Influence is a result of our love, humility and obedience to God. NOT a goal to be achieved. It is the fruit of our obedience to God (Yahweh-YHWH). By the way…YHWH isn't a “Jewish” name or anything like that so don’t let the word throw you off. It is the name of God, which God revealed to Moses in Exodus 6:3. Get it into your head that it is the name of God Himself from the book of Exodus or the Torah (which is defined as teaching, instruction and guidance)
Well, I think I will stop here. I've given you much to chew on and this is so important you have a firm grasp on the foundation of this thing. Your understanding and survival of the things that are coming to earth are going to hinge on understanding the things of the Kingdom. Notice, I did not say religion. Religion doesn't work. Moses, Abraham and Jesus did not live their lives to start a religion; they were building a nation/kingdom. I will say this, if this is the first you've been exposed to this, your mind, because of the false teachings and deceptions of the past, will fight you tooth and nail on this. I pray you keep an open mind and that the LORD by His Spirit and His Word will speak and reveal His truth to you.
I’ll continue this next week….

I. Basileia: royal power, kingship, dominion, rule
- not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom
- of the royal power of Jesus as the triumphant Messiah
- of the royal power and dignity conferred on Christians in the Messiah's kingdom
- a kingdom, the territory subject to the rule of a king used in the N.T. to refer to the reign of the Messiah
Luke 29:22—Jesus (Yeshua) said, “And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;”
