AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Chronicles 3:1 Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD in Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared to his father David, in the place that David had prepared, on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite. [1 Chr 21:20-22] |
Bible Question: In 2 Chronicles 3:1, is this the same Mount Moriah in Gen. 22:2,14 where Abraham was commanded to offer Isaac as a sacrifice? Also, I find it interesting to note that David wept on the Mount of Olives (2 Sam. 15:30), the same place where Christ dwelt (Matt. 5) and where Gethsemane is located (Mark 14:32). |
Bible Answer: Yes, it is the same mountain. And the Mount of Olives is the same one as in the Old Testament as well. For more parallelism, note that Adam fell in a garden, Eden, and Christ atoned in a garden (probable location of Golgotha). Also, the atonement sacrifice was sent outside the camp, and Christ was crucified outside the city. The entire Old Testament shouts out the gospel. |
