The mountains will melt beneath Him The imagery of "mountains" in biblical literature often symbolizes strength, stability, and the enduring nature of God's creation. In Hebrew, the word for mountains is "הָרִים" (harim). The phrase "will melt" suggests a dramatic transformation, indicating the overwhelming power and presence of God. This melting is not a natural occurrence but a supernatural event, emphasizing God's sovereignty over creation. Historically, mountains were seen as places of divine encounter, such as Mount Sinai. Here, their melting signifies the dismantling of human pride and the humbling of all that seems unshakeable before the Almighty. and the valleys will split apart like wax before the fire like water cascading down a slope Parallel Commentaries ...
