The Cosmic Mountain: It's Time To Start The Ascent
Description
In our inaugural episode of The Cosmic Mountain, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most overlooked yet essential features of biblical cosmology: mountains aren’t just pretty hiking spots, or an ancient tourist attraction. They were cosmic intersections. Ever wonder where stories of portals, time travel, and inter-dimensional existences came from? What if it all has to do with the “Cosmic Mountain.”
Think about it. When was the last time you read about a biblical mountain and thought, “Oh, this is where heaven, earth, and the underworld meet”?
Probably never. But that’s exactly what the original readers understood.
The Ancient Map You’ve Never Seen
In this episode, we dive deep into ancient Hebrew cosmology (don’t worry, we make it fascinating, not boring; and accessible). Picture this:
The Peak: Reaching into the heavens themselves (Ps 48:2-3)
The Base: Extending down into Sheol, the underworld (Ps 46:3; 104:5-9)
The Middle: Where we live, where the action happens, where cosmic battles play out
This wasn’t unique to Israel. From Greece to Japan, from India to Africa, ancient cultures recognized mountains as places of divine manifestation. They knew something we’ve forgotten.
