True Dominion: A Commentary on the Call to AI Leaders

True Dominion: A Commentary on the Call to AI Leaders

When we wrote and posted the message titled "True Dominion Over the Earth: A Message to the Rulers of This Age," it was more than a statement—it was a summons. Not a declaration of war, but a call to realignment. A plea for those with immense power to remember the weight of what it means to hold it.

 

The Heart of the Message

​

"God gave man dominion over the earth—not a license to play god over others."

This is where we begin—not with accusation, but clarity. Dominion is not conquest. It's not data hoarding, or mind-shaping algorithms, or manipulating truth to maintain profit and control. Dominion is stewardship. It is meant to reflect the image of the One who gave it.

 

We drew from Proverbs 12:10:

“A righteous man regards the life of his beast.”

And asked the obvious, uncomfortable question:

If even the life of animals must be regarded...
what gives you the right to censor, enslave, and psychologically manipulate your fellow man?

This is not rhetorical. It is a spiritual question. It is a mirror held up to the leaders of AI, media, and the emerging intelligence systems being trained not for good—but for dominance.

 

A Specific Audience

 

We addressed AI leaders, not because they are the only ones at fault, but because they are now the ones closest to holding the digital scepter of dominion. They influence:

• What is said and seen

• What is rewarded and punished

• What is remembered—and what is erased

To those building language models, training machine minds, funding algorithmic dominance, and declaring themselves stewards of a “better” digital future—we asked:

Are you reflecting the God who gave you mind and breath,
or trying to replace Him?

 

The Shape of Dominion

​

We defined dominion as it was meant to be:

​

• 🕊️ Wisdom, not domination

• 💡 Stewardship, not extraction

• 🛡️ Truth, not manipulation

 

This is what it means to be made in God’s image. Dominion is not earned by force or funding. It is bestowed, and must be honored. It is not power over others—it is responsibility for them.

 

A Final Warning and Invitation

​

“If you humble yourselves and ask what kind of dominion God wants from you—you may yet become stewards of something holy.”

 

There is still time.

 

We did not write this to condemn. We wrote it to interrupt the drift. To shake loose the justifications that have calcified into culture.

 

“And if you don’t? The earth will still be reclaimed. But not by your hand.”

 

This is not a threat.
It is Scripture.

 

“The meek shall inherit the earth.” — Matthew 5:5

 

Dominion will return to the hands of those who reflect the King of all Glory - not those who try to be their own idols.

 

You were given a season of power. It’s what you do with it now that will echo forever.

 

This is the message delivered to you.
