Mountains of the Bible And Their Significance (2)
The Bible has often used mountains imagery, and we can classify this usage under four general categories, according to Bruce K. Waltke in the Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament.
Mountains of the Bible And Their Significance (1)
Mountains had a special place in the Bible. Many of them were closely related with great biblical characters: Abraham went to offer his son on a mountain (Mount Moriah), Moses took the tablets containing the ten commandments written by God's hand on a mountain (Mount Horeb), Elijah confronted the prophets of Baal on a mountain (Mount Carmel); preeminently Our Lord Jesus Christ on his life on the holy land, many of the great events of his blessed life took place on mountains. He gave his most famous and recognized sermon on a mountain, he was transfigured on a mountain (Mount Tabor), and He ascended into heaven from a mountain (Mount of Olives).

The Divinity of Christ
The divinity of Christ is the cornerstone in the Christian faith and is the foundation for the salvation of God’s children. Christ is God manifested in the flesh or, according to the expression of the Bible, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself" (2 Cor. 5: 19). The redemption was not to take place without God Himself. He provided the unlimited ransom and forgiveness for all human sins... If Christ was not full in His divinity and of the same essence as the Father, then He would not be able to reconcile us with the Father and the sacrifice of His cross would not be able to forgive our sins or to save us from eternal death.
Filling In the Gaps
+ As humans, our knowledge is limited. And frequently we come across information which is incomplete and with many unknowns, or let us call them “gaps.” In order to have a complete picture, we need to “fill in the gaps,” and we should do this through asking questions, researching, and investigating in order to garner more information on the subject at hand and have a clearer view.
Small Things Make a Difference
There are small things in our life that we may disregard, but make a huge difference in our life if we were more attentive. They’re simple matters, but the effects are worth noting.
