Intro: The Great Mountain
This prophecy, as is with many prophesies, is deeply rooted in metaphor.
Isaiah speaks of the coming time when the mountain on which the temple sits (in Jerusalem) shall be established as the highest of the mountains, above all the hills surrounding it.
As I’m sure you could surmise for yourself in our metaphor the size and height of a mountain directly relates to its grandeur and the place of importance it holds for the area.
Even though K2 is a much more challenging and elite mountain to climb in the Himalayas its brother Mt.
Everest gets all the attention because its the tallest.
(In fact it has comparatively greater height from base to peak that Everest.)
The highest mountain peak serves as the fundamental landmark and point of orientation.
Just as we sit in the shadow of Mount Rose.
No matter where you are in the valley inside or outside.... where is Mount Rose?
Exactly.
It also offers the best vantage point from which to see your world.
*So keep in the back of your mind: The highest of mountains displays greatness & grandeur, it serves as landmark and vantage point.
Falling to the wayside:
This prophecy is nestled into a very troubling message for Israel and for Judah.
They have been looking to the wrong mountains....
Its not a new story for God’s people.
Straying away from the life God intended with Him.
Adam & Eve, three kids: One exiled after killing his brother.
Noah & the Tower of Babel when God splits all the people of the world and sends them out around the world.
Abraham to Ismael then Isaac.
The kingdom of God splits into Judah and Israel.
Things have gotten so derailed, lost and confused.
Things have gotten really bad:
Economy requires 2 incomes.
$46,000 average home income in 2016 April 19: $386,000 average cost of single family dwelling which with todays debt requires an $80,000 income.
Schedules:
Anxiety, depression, and suicide:
