During a recent interview on the program of self-proclaimed
“prophet” and QAnon conspiracy theorist Johnny Enlow, Alabama
Supreme Court Chief Justice Tom Parker indicated that he is a
proponent of the “Seven Mountain Mandate,” a theological approach
that calls on Christians to impose fundamentalist values on all
aspects of American life.

Enlow is a pro-Trump “prophet”
[[link removed]] and leading
proponent
[[link removed]] of
the “Seven Mountain Mandate
[[link removed]],”
a “quasi-biblical blueprint for theocracy
[[link removed]]”
that asserts that Christians must impose fundamentalist values on
American society by conquering the “seven mountains” of cultural
influence in U.S. life: government, education, media, religion,
family, business, and entertainment.

Enlow has also repeatedly pushed the QAnon conspiracy theory,
sometimes even connecting
[[link removed]] it
to the Seven Mountain Mandate. Per Right Wing Watch, Enlow
has claimed
[[link removed]] that
world leaders are “satanic” pedophiles who “steal blood” and
“do sacrifices” and that
[[link removed]] “there
is presently no real democracy on the planet” because over 90
percent of world leaders are involved in pedophilia and are being
blackmailed.

On February 16, the Alabama Supreme Court ruled
[[link removed]] that
frozen embryos are people, with the same rights as living children,
and that a person can be held liable for destroying them, imperiling
in vitro fertilization treatment in the state. In a concurring
opinion, Parker quoted the Bible, suggested
[[link removed]] that
Alabama had adopted a “theologically based view of the sanctity of
life,” and said that “human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed
without incurring the wrath of a holy God.”

In the interview on Enlow’s program — which was uploaded the same
day as the ruling was issued — Parker claimed that “God created
government” and said it’s “heartbreaking” that “we have let
it go into the possession of others.” Parker then invoked the Seven
Mountain Mandate, saying, “And that's why he is calling and
equipping people to step back into these mountains right now.”

Parker suggested a familiarity with Enlow’s work, telling him, “As
you've emphasized in the past, we've abandoned those Seven Mountains
and they've been occupied by the opposite side.”

Parker discussed [[link removed]] his
“call” to what Enlow called the “mountain of government,” and
later told [[link removed]] Enlow that
he appreciates what he’s done by “giving us the overview and the
vision that allows us to really contemplate what God is calling each
of us to for our role on those Seven Mountains.” 

Enlow praised Parker, telling him he’s “in such a key place that
we don't want to have any conversations that hurt you in any kind of
way, but we appreciate who you are, who you are in the kingdom.” 

Parker also claimed
[[link removed]] that God “is equipping
me with something for the very specific situation that I’m
facing,” and responded affirmatively when Enlow asked if “the holy
spirit is there” when he’s “arbitrating a session” and
performing his job as chief justice.

Parker’s ties to extreme right-wing Christian and “prophetic”
media figures extends beyond the interview with Enlow. 

Last year, Christian nationalist media figure Sean Feucht
[[link removed]] said
Parker had invited him into the court’s chambers for a worship
session. Parker also joined a prayer call in March 2023 with supposed
prophets and apostles, and he prayed
[[link removed]] that
“there will be a growing hunger in the judges of Alabama, and around
the nation for more of God. And that they will be receptive to his
moves toward restoration of the judges, so that they can play their
forecast role in revival in this nation.”
