[edit] Notes
Numerous churches and cemeteries carry the name of the Biblical mountain. The name is also used metaphorically in two ways: for a moment of spiritual clarity and revelation, and for a situation where a leader visualizes a future he may not live to see. It was in this latter metaphorical sense that Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. used the phrase, “I have been to the mountain top,” in his noted “I Have a Dream” speech.
