Golgotha, The Place of the Skull

Located approximately 0.5 miles to the west of Vasquez Rocks Natural Area Park, this site encompasses a 932-acre (377-hectare) expanse situated within the jurisdiction of northern Los Angeles County, California. The park resides in Agua Dulce, a name of Spanish origin meaning ‘sweet water,’ and is nestled in the Sierra Pelonas, which translates to ‘Bald Mountains’ from Spanish. The area is characterized by its unique geological features, which are significant not only for their aesthetic value but also for their scientific interest.

In the final days, could this mountain rise above all other mountains and hills, becoming the most exalted of all? People from every nation drawing to it. We delve into a tapestry of eschatological beliefs that are interwoven within many monotheistic traditions.

The phrase “at the end of days” is often associated with the eschatological era, a period detailed in many scriptural texts as the conclusion of human history, where moral, spiritual, and divine justice will finally be enacted. In this final epoch, it’s said that the corruption and strife that plague human existence will be supplanted by a reign of peace and righteousness.

Moreover, the imagery of all nations flowing unto the divine mountain speaks to the ecumenical nature of this ultimate redemption. It is not an exclusive salvation but an inclusive gathering of all peoples, irrespective of their origins, united in their reverence for the divine. This movement towards the divine not only represents a physical journey but also a transformation within the hearts and minds of humankind, a turning away from division towards a unity rooted in spiritual truth and devotion.

Interestingly, there is an annual easter Sunday service in the Vasquez Rocks Park. (Photo SCV News)
