Spiritual geography
A few days ago I came into a realization of a possible deep reading of a biblical passage. It was the beginning of chapter 4 of Micah:
"BUT in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. 2 And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."
I thought, this is where we are to go, when we can get into higher states, to the mountain of the House of the Lord, to be taught of His ways, and walk in His paths, NOW, not just at the eschaton. This is Zion, always associated with Jesus Christ in Reformed/Calvinist readings.
So then tonight I came across this verse:
Psalm 43:3 - O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.
Thy Holy hill. Bring me unto thy Holy hill. It's the same place. To thy tabernacles. Remember, tabernacles were seen as what we enter, now, wherever we are when in a higher state.
This Psalm verse is what I put in a blog post (x blog) about how we're bigger than time.
This is about spiritual geography. Geography as real as physical geography.
