A Holy place

AELW 4:101

"Thus I gladly agree with those who believe that Moriah received its name from the Hebrew word which denotes “to fear, worship, and revere God,” as though one called it in German heyltgstat, a holy place, a house of God, because this place was the temple and house of God from the beginning of the world, was venerated by Adam and Noah, and was inhabited by the eminent patriarch Shem, just as today there is a Moriah which extends as far as the world, just as Jerusalem does; that is, God is adored and worshiped not only in one definite place but everywhere in the world, wherever there is a congregation of the godly."
