You have read or seen ‘Seven Mountains’ statement:

The term “Dominion Theology” is derived from the King James Bible’s rendering of Genesis 1:28, the passage in which God grants humanity “dominion” over the Earth.

And God blessed [ Adam and Eve ], and God said unto them, “Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.”

In the late 1980s, several prominent evangelical authors used the phrase Dominion Theology (and other terms such as dominionism) to label a loose grouping of theological movements that made direct appeals to this passage in Genesis.[1] Christians typically interpret this passage as meaning that God gave humankind responsibility over the Earth, but the distinctive aspect of Dominion Theology is that it is interpreted as a mandate for Christian stewardship in civil affairs, no less than in other human matters.

Seven Mountains[edit]

David Barton has advocated what he calls “seven mountains prophecy” where Christian conservatives should control and dominate “family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business and government

That just sounds odd.

I'm sorry, but it does.

I don't see this as a mainstream Christian belief. It just sounds "culty."

.
My Bible says “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s.”

That remains true until the Last Trump, at which time “The kingdoms of men have become the kingdoms of God.”
