It’s easier to deceive a person then it is to convince them that they have been deceived.
GOD’S HOLY MOUNTAINS
"The LORD (YEHOWAH) loves the gates of Zion, HIS foundation is on the holy mountains." [Psalms (Tehillym) 87:1 Tanakh, Nevi’im]
In strategically intended events in human history, there are several uniquely exclusive mountains specified by GOD. Mount Ararat (means: the curse reversed or shower of a curse) was the first great mountain in SCRIPTURE where GOD’S perfectly planned Ark of safety would rest. [Genesis/Bereshith 8. 4] After the first nations failed and GOD had to form a new nation. It was on Mount Moriah (means: seen of YAH) that Abraham passed the great test offering his son, Isaac, and became "the father of all them that believe" — testifying that "in the mount of the LORD, it shall be seen." [Romans 4:11; Genesis/Bereshith 22:14]
It was as at Mount Horeb (means: sword or destruction), the mountain of GOD, " the ANGEL OF THE LORD appeared to him (Moses) in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush." [Exodus (Shemot) 3:2 Tanakh, Torah] And later, at the base of this mount (which is part of the same mountain range as Mt. Sinai) that Moses struck the rock as the LORD commanded him: "Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock and water will issue from it, that the people may drink." [Exodus (Shemot) 17:6 Tanakh, Torah] Here also the stiff-necked children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments at the base of Mount Horeb and made the golden calf. [see Exodus/Shemot 32] When the time came for GOD’S law to be revealed, "the LORD came down upon Mount Sinai (meaning unknown {or perhaps thorny})" and gave Moses "the two tablets of the Testimony, stone tablets written with the finger of GOD." [Exodus (Shemot) 19:20; 31:18 Tanakh, Torah]
Glorious things were spoken of Mount Zion (means: jealous or envy or zeal), renowned and celebrated as being "the beautiful fair-crested joy of all the earth, Mount Zion, summit of Zaphon (a term for the DIVINE abode) the City of the GREAT KING" where the Holy City, Jerusalem, was built and where MESSIAH Y’SHUA will reign in the great age to come. GOD has promised concerning Y’SHUA: "I have set MY KING on Zion, MY holy mountain." [Psalms (Tehillym) 48:2; 2:6 Tanakh, Kethuvim] Gentiles and Jews together bless Zion: "Arise, shine; for your light has dawned; the PRESENCE (KABOD / GLORY) of the LORD is shone upon you!" [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 60. 1 Tanakh, Nevi’im] "May the LORD bless you out of Zion; may you share the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life." [Psalms (Tehillym) 128:5 Tanakh, Kethuvim] {In the Second Temple Period, Jews would celebrate the holiday of Sukkot on the Mount of Olives. The Jews made the pilgrimage to the Mount of Olives for the celebration as its higher location allowed for a beautiful panoramic view of the Temple Mount.}
Though insignificant in size, but preeminent in importance is the small hill outside Jerusalem that is known as Mount Calvary (means: skull). There a "Stone was hewn out of the mountain, but not by hands" which "became a great mountain and filled the whole earth" [Daniel/Danyel 2. 45, 35] when Y’SHUA died there and conquered death forevermore. HE arose victoriously from the grave and then ascended into the heavens from the Mount of Olives, the same one where, one day, HE definitely "will so come in like manner as you saw HIM go into heaven." [Acts 1:11]
The last mountain is the one found in the New Earth where "every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mount brought low; the rugged ground become level, and the rough places smooth." [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 40:4 Tanakh, Nevi’im] The only mountain will be "a great and high mountain" where the New Jerusalem, the beautiful City of GOD is laid out foursquare and its towers "twelve thousand furlongs" [Revelation 21:10, 16] over the lavishly fruitful plains of the New Earth. "The PRESENCE of the LORD shall appear, and all flesh, as one, shall behold — for the LORD HIMSELF has spoken." [Isaiah (Yeshayah) 40:5 Tanakh, Nevi’im]
Sha’alu (Pray) for the Shalom (Peace) of Jerusalem and all of Israel!
"The hand of our GOD is upon all those for good who seek HIM, but HIS power and HIS wrath are against all those who forsake HIM." Ezra 8:22
Light is the symbol of the DIVINE, the LORD is my LIGHT and my SALVATION.
Light is the symbol of the DIVINE in man; the spirit of man is the light of the LORD.
Light is the symbol of the DIVINE Law, for the commandment is a Lamp and the Law is a Light.
Light is the symbol of Israel's mission. I, the LORD, have set you for a covenant of the people, for a light to the nations.
Thus, in the spirit of our ancient tradition that hallows and unites Israel in all lands and all ages, let us go forth with the light of GOD'S WORD to the nations as HE commanded.
In YOUR mercy, O LORD, remember us and all YOUR children. O FATHER & REDEEMER, mindful of YOUR covenant, we pray that YOUR love may never forsake us. Even as the rainbow recalls this covenant, so may each new day bring to all men the thought of YOUR gracious promise. Hasten the time when YOUR Law will be written in every heart, from the smallest to the greatest. Then shall mankind do YOUR will and the reward of righteous service shall be peace.
Days of Awe – Day 37 of Repentance (Yom ha’Peduth/Teshuvah)
Praying for the peace of Jerusalem, is praying for the return of our Messiah and Lord and for the Kingdom of God He is bringing when He comes. Then God's Will shall be done on earth as it is in Heaven and the world will experience true godly universal peace which is the fruit of Righteousness.
