#90 - Ascending the Mountain of God - Exodus (pt. 18) - a podcast by Fig Tree Ministries

Psalm 24:3 asks,"Who may ascend the mountain of the LORD?"Throughout the ancient Near East (ANE), the"Cosmic Mountain"idea was of vital importance within their view of the cosmos.

So when the Israelites are taken out of Egypt to meet God on a mountain, they already have a preconceived notion of how God interacts with the world at the peak of a mountain.The theme of ascending the mountain of the LORD exists throughout the biblical text and includes Jesus' transfiguration on the top of a"sacred"mountain (2 Peter 1:18).

Ascending the mountain of God is also a metaphor that we can apply to our own lives as we ascend toward God, grow spiritually, and transform to be more and more Christ-like each day.Support Fig Tree Ministries:
