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 22:2“Take your son, your only son—yes, Isaac, whom you love so much—and go to the land of Moriah. Go and sacrifice him as a burnt offering on one of the mountains, which I will show you.”
Abraham offers Isaac on Moriah; God provides. - 2
God descends on Sinai
Exodus 19:20The Lord came down on the top of Mount Sinai and called Moses to the top of the mountain. So Moses climbed the mountain.
The LORD comes down in fire to give his law. - 3
The hill of the LORD
Psalms 24:3Who may climb the mountain of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place?
"Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?" - 4
Transfigured in glory
Matthew 17:2As the men watched, Jesus’ appearance was transformed so that his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
Jesus shines on the mountain before his disciples. - 5
You have come to Mount Zion
Hebrews 12:22No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful gathering.
The redeemed come to the heavenly city of the living God.
