A Cruz to the Seven Mountains of Madness

Few things bother me more than people who claim to be Christian and yet whose beliefs and actions suggest otherwise.

The campaign for Ted Cruz is a thinly veiled gambit designed to place the man in a position to become, basically, the end time’s prophet. His version of Christianity is Seven Mountain Dominionism. Like his father Rafael, Teddy boy is fixated on eschatology (end times). In fact, Rafael Cruz is convinced that his son’s political career is a ‘thing of God,’ and that Ted is ‘the anointed one.’

In summary, the Seven Mountains movement is based on the belief that Christians are destined and duty-bound to take control of the seven forces (mountains) that control out culture, which are: business, government, media, arts and entertainment, education, family, and religion. Its end is game to place Christians in dominion (with someone, for example, Ted Cruz, heading it all as the final prophet) of all seven mountains, thereby initiating worldwide peace and prosperity. With Christians in control, poverty, violence, and possibly even disease will end, and therefore the world will finally be clean and righteous enough for Christ to return.

Yeah, you can pick your jaw up off the floor now.

This absurd alternative religion flies in the face of REAL SCRIPTURE. The verse they stole and mutilated to support their farce is Isaiah 2:1-5. ‘In the last days the mountain of the Lord’s house will be established at the top of the mountains and will be raised above the hills. All nations will stream to it,’ says verse 1. This was a vision of Isaiah, and taken alone, its purpose and meaning are not entirely clear. But, as with all verses, when you take it in context with the entire Bible its meaning becomes obvious. For example, a parallel passage can be found in Zechariah chapter 14. Here we find a similar—but more detailed—passage, and through these verses (1-11) we see that the peace it (and Isaiah 2) speaks of is in reference to events immediately following Christ’s return, not events preceding it. It is clear then that it is Christ who will forge worldwide peace, and not man.

A thorough and complete study of the Bible, along with a study of history, makes obvious the truth that complete and lasting peace never results from the efforts of sinful humanity. That it is not in the nature or capacity of mankind to forge worldwide and lasting peace. For this miracle we need a Savior.

Coincidentally, the Bible does mention that in the last days a man will unite the world (under false pretenses and only after slaughtering many believers) under his banner of a one-world religion, with him, naturally, being its god. The Bible calls this man the Antichrist.

Like the name-it-and-claim-it new age movement, like Mormonism, Jehovah’s Witnesses, The Way International, The Walk, Unification Church, Christian Science, Church of Armageddon, Scientology, and a host of other false movements peddling righteousness under the banner of Christianity, Cruz and his Seven Mountains of madness place far too much emphasis and faith in sinful humanity. We do not have the power within ourselves to save ourselves. If we did, we would not need Christ our Savior. Our religion should be according to James 1:27 ‘Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world,’ and Galatians 5:14 ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’

So let’s not complicate things with absurd claims, especially when these claims and beliefs are really based, if the people behind them were being honest, on nothing more than personal ambition.

But don’t take my word for it. Search the scripture—the entire thing—and decide for yourself what is true and Who it is that is truly destined to save us.
