1. This Is Not a Gathering, but a Calling In 2025, we are not being called together as spectators, but as soldiers of the Kingdom of God. “Ascending the Mountain of the Lord” is not a religious activity—it is a moment where vision is elevated, identity is awakened, and action is activated. God is calling a people to establish, among the nations, industries, and cities, a city on a hill that cannot be hidden.
2. What Does It Mean to “Ascend the Mountain of the Lord” Ascending the mountain represents three things: Vision is elevated: no longer focused only on personal needs, but on God’s blueprint among the nations Revelation is unlocked: prophetic insight that discerns the times Action is accelerated: apostolic passion and speed, moving from prayer into execution This is a pathway from worship to governance, from the altar to the marketplace.
3. The City on a Hill: God’s Blueprint for Kingdom Governance Jesus said, “A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” The city on a hill is not a building, but a system: The twelve gates → gateways of industry and resources The twelve tribes → a priestly spiritual order The twelve apostles → governors in the marketplace and industries This is a council of royal priests, and a living preview of the New Jerusalem on earth.
4. The Seven Mountains Are Not the Goal—Governance Is The mountains of this world will shake and fall; the Babylonian system will ultimately collapse. But God’s people are not called to withdraw from the world. We are called to excel, enter, and influence every mountain: Not only worshiping in the church, but becoming builders of the Kingdom in business, technology, culture, and politics.
5. The Marketplace Apostolic Center: From Vision to Reality Vision requires platforms. Calling requires systems. The Marketplace Apostolic Center is a key hub for grounding Kingdom values in industries: Across industries and nations From prayer to action From mission to governance Faith is not only proclaimed—it is lived out.
6. The Mountains Are Being Summoned God is raising His vessels across industries: Mission-shaped church networks: transforming cities through workplace missions Health industries: shifting workplace culture with Kingdom values Precision agriculture: restoring the order of creation through technology and discipleship Energy and technology: opening new gateways into China Politics and media: not following culture, but leading culture AI and film: shaping values through story, governing through culture Finance and real estate: raising Kingdom stewards of resources Arts and creative industries: establishing Kingdom churches and bi-vocational ministry Holistic health (body, soul, spirit): preparing Kingdom workers who can endure for the long run Every mountain is territory God is reclaiming.
7. We Are Standing at a Historical Convergence Thirty- and forty-year cycles are aligning once again. The vision of “a heart for China” is being awakened anew. God is shaking China and, through the Chinese diaspora in North America, advancing the Back to Jerusalem revival movement. This is not the future. This is now.
8. Conclusion: There Are No Bystanders in the Kingdom In the Kingdom of God, there are no spectators—only participants. This gathering is not the end; it is the beginning of action. As each one takes their place, the city on the hill begins to rise, and the Kingdom of God comes upon the earth.
