God’s Holy Mountain
The phrase God's holy mountain appears 18 times in the Old Testament; and though it defines two significant locations during different periods of history, in reality it points to the same piece of real estate on this earth. And by scanning the past, present, and prophetic significance of this most sacred plot of land, the most unique in the entire universe, we see God's plan come into focus as itGet More Articles—Subscribe Today!

Hello! I enjoyed your article, and it’s very well-written and factual — except for the part about Melchizedek. Melchi = King of Zedek= Righteousness It’s not a person: it’s a title. According to the Dead Sea Scrolls, this is a priestly order like the Aaronic priests or Levi priests, but a special one that only includes priestly kings. Noah’s son Shem was in the line — he was the priestly king of Salem. It was King Shem of Salem that brought out the bread and the wine sacraments to celebrate and anoint Abram/Abraham as the next Melchizedek after Abram/Abraham defeated the giant kings, and the Dead Sea Scrolls explain that he was the final Melchizedek before the Messiah would come to rule and reign as the ultimate Melchizedek.
The Essenes that preserved the Word and history of the Israelites in the Dead Sea Scrolls in the Quram caves all knew this at the time, and there is evidence that John the Baptist was the head of the Essenes at one time and a school of prophets. Don’t take my word for it — research it yourself. I think you will really enjoy knowing all of this firsthand.
I am an M. Div., so I see everything you have written, but I just want to throw in something that keeps coming to me strongly when I read the passage since they started building the new digital/a.i. city of Neom in Saudi Arabia which includes the area of Mt. Sinai. I just keep seeing this new prime piece of real estate palace/tent being built between Mt. Sinai and the Red Sea. And perhaps the new Neom is considered the last manifestation of Babylon. The area of the “city” is vast – like a huge “tent” – purportedly 33x the size of NYC. I can’t shake these questions. What do you think of this besides what you’ve already written?
Thank you so much for posting this.
Thank you for this information. I agree with it inclusively.
Isaiah 27:13 “So it shall be in that day: the great trumpet will be blown; they will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria, and they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount of Jerusalem.
Where does it say in scripture that “At the sound of the Shofar Jesus will return and strike his foot upon the Holy Mountain”?
Zechariah 14:4 His feet touch the Mount of Olives. Even though the Temple Mount is west, it is still the general area.
This is most informative for me , and it also answers a lot of questions .
I like your name 😀
