and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head and lay down in that place to sleep 12 And he dreamed and behold a ladder set up on the earth and the top of it reached to heaven; and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it 13 And behold the LORD stood beside him and said 'I am the LORD the God of Abraham thy father and the God of Isaac The land whereon thou liest to thee will I give it and to thy seed 14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth and thou shalt spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south And in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed 15 And behold I am with thee and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest and will bring thee back into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done that which I have spoken to thee of ' 16 And Jacob awaked out of his sleep and he said 'Surely the LORD is in this place; and I knew it not ' 17 And he was afraid and said 'How full of awe is this place this is none other than the house of God and this is the gate of heaven ' 18 And Jacob rose up early in the morning and took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil upon the top of it 19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el but the name of the city was Luz at the first 20 And Jacob vowed a vow saying 'If God will be with me and will keep me in this way that I go and will give me bread to eat and raiment to put on 21 so that I come back to my father's house in peace then shall the LORD be my God 22 and this stone which I have set up for a pillar shall be God's house; and of all that Thou shalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto Thee ' So this pillar should actually be named bet-el meaning house of God Jacob built it when he returned from his journey from syria/damascus to find a wife from abrahams brother's family nahor He built in the golan heights a structure called gal ad meaning until the wheel Today this structure is called gilgal rephaim He built it with laban his father inlaw to mark the boundary between syria and israel that each side should not cross later in deuteronomy moses directs the people to mount gerizim and mount ebal and he says it is opposite gilgal which also means wheel and towards the setting of the sun which is west of the gilgal It was no accident that these directions point to jacobs pillar which marks the mountain of god where he saw the angels on a ladder This is also the original garden of eden and it is the largest natural reserve in israel It contains the tree or life and knowledge and abraham found the tree of knowledge called alon moreh and moses found the tree of life called the burning bush Moses was the first man to find the tree since adam this is why his face was glowing since he spoke with god face to face Bet el also marks the original place of the tabernacle and shilo was the gathering place today called the tomb of shammai where Joshua raised a large stone in chapter 25 joshua Yes you heard it right There is one mountain of god and one chosen placeand abraham isaac and jacob worshipped here since they knew it was the original garden of eden Mount sinai is here in meron how do we know Canaan had a son called sin this is why the area was called desert of sin and the mountain called sinai since sin i is plural for sin So as we read in genesis the whole reason the israelites went to egypt was because of the drought in isral and this made the entire landscape dry Moses came to mount meron/sinai struck the rock and out came the meron stream Then we read about thunder and lightning and this was the breakinh of the drought The israelites walked the desert 40 years and by the timethey returned israel had become a paradise again Midian was in the golan heights since we know in joshua they defeat 5 kings of midian next to sihon and og Perfect location near meron What about jerusalem As soon as the people requested a king they rejected god as their king and inturn god rejected them Saul built a fake tabernacle at joshuas gilgal and david took the copy of the ark to jerusalem The kingship shall not depart from judah until shilo come shilo being the real holy place and god as king in his tabernacle There is no messiah beside god There will be a prophet like moses but god is the only mesaiah who speaks through his prophet SHilo is described as east of the path from bet-el to shechm since we know shechm was close to gerizim we can say that shechm is the place called bar yochai now and shilo east of that which is called tomb of shammai en elijah's chair in meron israel כסא א� יהו מע� נח� מירון Own avishai teicher User Avi1111 2009-04-13 public domaine <gallery> File Elijah's Chair in Meron Israel jpg File PikiWiki Israel 3090 elija chair in meron jpg </gallery> Mount Meron Chair of Elijah | ||||
