Throughout the ancient world the high place was the abode of God or the gods. The Psalmist writes, "I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from where my help comes". (121:1).
In Genesis 6, God prepares to blot out his creation when he "saw that wickedness of man was great on the earth."
The promises of heaven has served believers for centuries as an eternal hope, especially when times are desperate. Whether an actual "place", a state of the mind, or some notion of a parallel universe, heaven continues to reflect a worthy goal for many questioning the afterlife.
"God watches over his children, even when they think they are alone, he said I will never leave you nor forsake you, God has the whole world in his HAND".
