Dr. Ethel R. Nelson
Why do both Hebrew and Chinese civilizations center so much attention on a holy mountain? Many cultures of the earth revere a “holy mountain” or fashion their temples into the shape of a mountain. Chinese culture actually identifies 5 “holy mountains” in China. Could there be a connection between these and the “Holy Mountain” of Hebrew writings? It would seem possible, considering that many of the analogies each culture employs in speaking of “holy” things are the same. Amazingly, as the author sought answers to many questions on parallel imagery, she found that these 2 cultures seem to follow the same historical revelation, hundreds of years apart.
Come along on Dr. Nelson’s journey to discover the significance of the Holy Mountain. Along the way, you will learn the origin of the Chinese people, as it relates to the biblical record. Historical data places the earliest written Chinese pictograph symbols as occurring only 25 years after the confusion of languages at the Tower of Babel, and some 700 years before Moses wrote the account of Creation in Genesis. These pictograph symbols show the complete story of the creation, the temptation in Eden, the fall, the sacrifice, and the plan of redemption.
So where does man’s tradition of a holy mountain come in? The ancient Chinese pictographs show the significance of the mountain, and actually give added detail to the story of Eden. The pictographs also clarify some of the word pictures used to describe Jesus Christ in the Bible. Full of insightful, thought-provoking material, this book will open your eyes to God’s continued working in many peoples, and to the fact that His “fingerprints” may be found everywhere, not just within Christianity.
