There is more than one mountain, is there not?
"For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman.
But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh; but he of the freewoman was by promise.
Which things are an allegory: for these are the two covenants; the one from the mount Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar.
For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children." Gal 4:22-25
And the other mountain...?
"Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King." Psalm 48:1-2
And the sea itself is NOT living water for men but it is defiled or poisoned water. There is no Life as God counts Life in it.
"And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations." Rev 22:1-2
I’m not claiming this as no more than a question Amadeus. Lately this about the mountain has shifted maybe you can add insight or shut or dispel the thought all together. He was cut from the mountain (flesh) of this bright image in Daniel. but He was the Stone rejected by His own. A stone of stumbling.Luke 20:17-18
[17] And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? [18] Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder.
the mountain rejected the stone cut from it...a new mountain created in Christ at Ephesians 2:15-16 Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; [16] And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:
Has the image in Daniel been slain? The new man seen as Christ(Mount Sion) which all nations must come to?
Hebrews 12:20-22
[20] (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: [21] And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake[22] But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
Hebrews 12:23-24
[23] To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, [24] And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh
better things than that of Abel.
See: Hebrews 12:20-22
[20] (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart: [21] And so
terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake
Daniel 2:31
[31] Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose
brightness was
excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was
terrible.
unapproachable...descriptive of ‘terrible’ and ‘to quake’ at the ‘brightness was excellent’ same as Jacob said of the house of God(unapproachable)...Genesis 28:17 And he was afraid, and said, How
dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
But peace has been made in Christ. we come not to “And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:“
But to perfect love cast out fear of the unapproachable. 1 John 4:18
[18] There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love(Christ.
Colossians 3:14-15
[14] And above all these things put on charity, which is the
bond of perfectness. [15] And let the
peace of God (Christ)
rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are
called (of the Father)in
one body; and be ye thankful.
