THESIS 7: PATRIARCHY AND THE MOUNTAIN

The Garden of Eden was on a Mountain.[16] Our sin caused us to be cast out of the Mountain.[17] When God reveals His Edenic Grace through Redemptive acts on mountains,[18] He symbolizes concretely what the Prophets foretold by speaking of this Mountain: the future Edenification of the Earth.[19] These prophecies are now coming to pass.[20] The vision of the "Vine & Fig Tree" is a vision of the restoration of Patriarchal society and Edenic culture.[21]
