On the Mountain you were. . . .
The New Testament records actions of God being manifested on various mountains. Early in the Gospel of St. Matthew we know that Jesus faced the temptations set forth by the devil. The devil took Jesus to an exceedingly high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and said all things would be His if He fell down and worship ed the devil.
