Mountain Messages (eBook, ePUB)

100 Devotions from the Mountains of the Bible

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Mountains are spectacular, picturesque and common subjects in art and literature. Even the authors of the Bible were enamored with the mountains. The Middle East is not quite so famous for its mountains but the Bible contains over 542 references to mountains! They are quite common as figurative symbols in literature as well as specific key geographic locations. The Bible begins with the creation account (first mention of mountains in Genesis 7) and ends with Revelation with Christ's return where He is standing on the Mount of Olives outside of Jerusalem. Famous and well-known events are recorded at specific mountain sites such as Mount Ararat, Carmel, or Mount Sinai. Then there are mentions of obscure mountains like Mount Zemaraim or Perazim where notable meetings or battles or events occurred. Mountains can also be used to represent features or characteristics such as obstacles or the permanence/steadfastness/immovable nature of something, or national governments and kingdoms.

This devotional book is a look at 100 mountain passages in the Bible. It is not a complete study of the mountains in the Bible. It is not a book on geography, geology, or archaeology. The real purpose of these devotions is to learn how mountains were a significant part of the Biblical landscape and what they can teach us about God and His character. Instead of merely looking at their physical beauty, we can look at them and recall God's beauty, His character and most of all His love for us. My prayer is that this will lead you to praise His name - with all creation and with all you got!
