It is also Mount Carmel where Elijah, Yahweh’s prophet, drew the four hundred prophets of Baal into a contest that ultimately caused their death. 1 Kings 18. 896. Mountain—Prophetically, mountains were symbolic of governments. This belief explains the reason why meetings of high powers, especially governments, are called summits. Mountains in old times were the center of a civilization’s spiritual community. That was where they gathered to be near their deity and experience his or her manifestations.
