In the heart of the Middle East, where borders are drawn by both history and conflict, lies Mount Hermon, a natural fortress that has witnessed the ebb and flow of civilizations. Known by the Sidonites as Siryon and by the Amorites as Senir, these names share the same alphabet, echoing their ancient significance. Siryon, also related to Sar Yavan and Yeshurun by alphabet permutations, stands majestically on the tri-border of Israel, Lebanon, and Syria, serving as a silent testament to the region's tumultuous past and present.
Recently, the strategic peak of Mount Hermon was captured by Israel, a move that has reignited discussions about the mountain's historical and spiritual importance. This capture, amidst the Syrian war and the ongoing crisis under Bashar al-Assad's regime, has not just territorial implications but also taps into millennia-old narratives of cosmic battles and their reverberations on earth.
The Book of Enoch, an apocryphal text, describes Mount Hermon as the landing site of the Watchers, fallen angels who vowed to take human wives, leading to the birth of the Nephilim. This narrative intertwines with modern scholarly work by Michael Heiser, who has extensively written about Mount Hermon's role in biblical cosmology, suggesting that the mountain was not just a physical highland but a pivotal point in spiritual warfare.
The mountain's strategic value was never lost on contemporary powers, much like its ancient sanctity. Israel's control over Mount Hermon enhances its surveillance capabilities over Syria and Lebanon, crucial in times of conflict. The mountain, often snow-capped, overlooks the disputed Golan Heights and the sacred Haram Al Sharif in Jerusalem, symbolizing a confluence of political and religious significance.
The capture of Mount Hermon by Israel, while a tactical gain in the Syrian conflict, also stirs debates about sovereignty, with implications for peace and stability in the region. It underscores the complex interplay of geography, religion, and politics where every stone and stream has a story to tell. As the Syrian crisis continues under Assad's leadership, the eyes of the world remain fixed on places like Mount Hermon, where history, faith, and warfare converge, each layer revealing more about the cosmic and earthly battles that shape our world today.
