In the video, it's claimed that 30 years ago, 3 men were given the same vision about how to reach America & nations for the Lord Jesus.
They are saying that it's time to overtake the 7 mountains of cultural influence. The mountains are government, media, Arts & entertainment, religion, family, business, and education. So, if we take overtake these stragetic areas, then we will have reached the world for Christ.
My question is this: Doesn't this man-made idea go completely beyond what Jesus told us to do? Jesus commissioned His Church to go into all the world, preach the gospel & make disciples. Why would Jesus now tell these men in a vision that the way to reach the nations is through government, media, entertainment, education, business & so on?
From the verses they use, it seems like they are attempting to build the mountain of God themselves. Biblically, in the book of Daniel, the mountain of the Lord is "cut without hands", so that should tell us right there that we cannot build this!
Additionally, didn't the Roman Catholic Church already attempt this by wielding it's power & influence in government, religion, family, etc.? If our reformation brothers considered the Catholic Church the harlot of Revelation, then what do we call this new movement? Is it of no coincidence that the movement's leaders are calling us to overtake the "7 mountains"...or am I just reading too much into it?
