THE HILLS AND THE VOICE OF GOD

Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever Thou hadst formed the earth and the world , even from everlasting to everlasting , thou art God . Psalms 90:2
The mountains saw thee, and they trembled : the overflowing of the water passed , the gulf gave his voice , raised his hands on high . Habakkuk 3:10
These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the Lord gave to each other and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses. Leviticus 26:46
And it shall be, when the LORD thy God brought thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it , then the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal . Deuteronomy 11:29

The mountains have always been important in the history of God's people AND MANY ARE CITED IN THE BIBLE . Them great historical and religious deeds were recorded, of which the most important of the Law of God , given to Moses by the creator , on Mount Sinai . But there are many other important mountains as Mount Moriah , one of the first hills mentioned in the scriptures , known as the Hill of probation . This increase was that Abraham took his son Isaac to be offered to the Lord as a token of love , but the sacrifice was stopped by the angel of the Lord . And God accepted the offer in place of a lamb , in figure, Jesus, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world .Mount Zion is known worldwide as the hill kept the ark of the Lord , until the construction of the Holy Temple .
Mount Nebo , Moses was it rises to sight the Promised Land , but God forbids him to enter her.
On Mount Carmel is one of the biggest stories of the Bible happened between faith and idolatry that hill, when Elijah wins the false prophets of Baal , and then they are all dead .Mount of Temptation , located in the city of Jericho hill where Jesus was tempted by the devil , and resisted SAYING NEITHER ONE OF LIVING BREAD MAN , BUT BY EVERY WORD COMING OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD .
Mount of Beatitudes , where he preached the Sermon on the Monte.Nele Jesus said : Blessed are the poor in spirit , for theirs is the kingdom of heaven .
Mount Tabor Mountain where the transfiguration of Christ occurred while conversing with Moses and Elijah , moment of great spiritual joy .
Mount of Olives , which is home to the Garden of Gethsemane , where Jesus prayed , and where he spent moments of suffering before crucifixion. Praying shed drops of blood on our behalf .
All these hills and not others cited , are super meaningful to the entire history of God's people . In Deuteronomy 11:29 we have: And it shall be, when the LORD thy God brought thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it , ( PROMISED LAND ) then the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal .
Like the mountains in our life God will also judge us one day and determine , as we deserve his blessing or curse. If we believe in his word and put ourselves in obedience to it , we are certainly blessed as Mount Gerizim , but if we like those people idolatrous followers of Baal and other gods , the Lord will certainly have against us and we will be cursed , AS MOUNT EBAL .
But what God wants from us and that we live in , and this happens only depends on us because Christ has done its part to die for us on Calvary's cross , by the way, is also the name of a hill. Let us look at JESUS ​​, THAT CERTAINLY WILL LIVE ...
