Where heaven meets earth, again and again.
On a mountain Abraham offers his son and God provides; on Sinai God descends in fire to give his law; Zion becomes the place of his presence; on a mountain Jesus is transfigured in glory; on a hill called Calvary he is lifted up — and the redeemed come at last to Mount Zion, the city of the living God.- 1
On the mountain it will be provided
Genesis 22:2Then He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I will tell you.”
Abraham offers Isaac on Moriah; God provides. - 2
God descends on Sinai
Exodus 19:20Then the Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.
The LORD comes down in fire to give his law. - 3
The hill of the LORD
Psalms 24:3Who may ascend onto the hill of the Lord? And who may stand in His holy place?
"Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?" - 4
Transfigured in glory
Matthew 17:2And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.
Jesus shines on the mountain before his disciples. - 5
You have come to Mount Zion
Hebrews 12:22But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,
The redeemed come to the heavenly city of the living God.
