HIGH PLACES AND WORSHIP
High places frequently had an evil meaning for worshippers. The high places were the locations for the exotic temples for idols, with the sensual forms of worship and activities that made a mockery of religion. To go the “high place” meant finding a “god”, to many primitive nations. How remarkable it is that the “holy hill of the Lord” and the symbolism of mountains and meeting God on the mount flows throughout both the Old and New Testaments! When Jesus came, he often went aside to pray on a mountain. He preached from a mountainside, and was crucified on a “high place.”
