The biblical town of Ziklag, mentioned in the Old Testament as a place where King David strategized during his exile, is now being used as a symbolic backdrop by a modern organization with controversial aims. The organization, also named Ziklag, was founded in 2017 to push forward the "Seven Mountains Mandate," a plan with roots in a 1975 prophecy that seeks to influence seven key areas of society: family, religion, education, media, entertainment, business, and government. This mandate, originally intended to usher in the end times, is now being employed by Ziklag to establish a Christian nationalist state.
Ziklag is composed of about 150 wealthy individuals, each with a net worth exceeding $25 million, and had a reported $12 million in assets as of 2022. Despite the relatively modest sum compared to other political pressure groups, Ziklag has significant influence. They fund other right-wing organizations like Turning Point USA and employ advanced strategies, including AI-driven voter purges, to sway elections in their favor. Their aim is not only to elect Christian nationalists but also to suppress votes from marginalized communities.
The group's rhetoric includes alarmist descriptions of their struggle against "dark forces," a language that some find reminiscent of fantasy villains like the Uruk-hai from "Lord of the Rings." This dramatic portrayal is used to rally their base and frighten opponents. Critics argue that Ziklag's approach, which includes targeting swing states with voter suppression tactics, is an attempt to manipulate electoral outcomes undemocratically.
There is also concern about Ziklag’s status as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This status is supposed to limit political activity, but Ziklag’s activities suggest they are pushing the boundaries of these regulations. Critics argue that their actions might be intentionally provocative, aiming to test legal limits and potentially influence Supreme Court decisions on the matter.
Funding from major donors, including the Uilen family, the Greens (owners of Hobby Lobby), and the Wallers (Jockey apparel), further empowers Ziklag. These donors, with their substantial financial resources, enable Ziklag to influence smaller, local elections and legislative processes, which can have far-reaching effects on state and national governance.
In summary, the Ziklag group represents a fusion of ancient symbolism with modern political strategy, aiming to reshape society according to their vision of Christian nationalism. Their methods, funding sources, and legal maneuvers highlight a complex and potentially dangerous intersection of religion and politics.
