Re: Ezekiel 36 and the Mountains of Israel.
I thought to relate to the kind of action as it applies to the approach and arrival of Gog upon the Land Of Israel, in Exekiel chapter 38.
First of all, I will quote the Ezekiel text, then include all the rest of them in the biblel text where the original language says, "you will go up," (or "come up" in some English translations) There are only five of them. It is pronounced "a-li-ta, " which is akin to "aliyah," both of which derive from the root "alah." You may remember than al "aliyah" is generally used to describe the action of worshippers going up to worship at Jerusalem, and the process of Jews immigrating to Israel.
You may want to judge for yourself the degree of suddenness that the verb may convey in each case.
Ezekiel 38:16 And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
Exodus 19:24 And the LORD said unto him, Away, get thee down, and thou shalt come up, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up unto the LORD, lest he break forth upon them.
Exodus 34:2 And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.
Deuteronomy 17:8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, being matters of controversy within thy gates: then shalt thou arise, and get thee up into the place which the LORD thy God shall choose;
Ezekiell 38:9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
