I’m bumping my thread to include a link to an article brought to my attention by @Temporary_Name in the [“Christians are coming thread”](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/the-christians-are-coming-the-christians-are-coming/946304/257)

> **[Underreported and Massive Theocratic Movement Joins Forces with Michael Flynn...](https://buckscountybeacon.com/2022/08/underreported-and-massive-theocratic-movement-joins-forces-with-michael-flynn-and-roger-stone/)**
>
> A tour featuring “Seven Mountains” Christian dominionists, Flynn, and Stone is coming to Pennsylvania.

Quoting a part of the same section Temporary\_Name did -

> The NAR also opposes freedom of religion, teaching instead that Christians [must exert dominion](https://www.npr.org/2011/10/03/140946482/apostolic-leader-weighs-religions-role-in-politics) over all aspects of our society. The NAR isn’t the only movement that espouses dominionism, but it may be the most influential. As [explained by Wagner,](https://youtu.be/p2woK8-y0_w)who fathered the NAR:
> 
> “Dominion has to do with control. Dominion has to do with rulership. Dominion has to do with authority and subduing. And it relates to society. In other words, what the values are in Heaven need to be made manifest on earth. Dominion means being the head and not the tail. Dominion means ruling as kings.”

Reading the whole article is terrifying, but the short version as it applies to _this_ thread is that the NAR is who Flynn is speaking to and for in the quote that spawned the thread. The article also includes numerous other calls to spiritual war and the like, which will surprise no one in the thread.
