you have not approached something that can be felt: When Jehovah made a covenant with the nation of Israel at Mount Sinai, he gave them an awe-inspiring experience that could “be felt.” As they approached the holy mountain and stood at its base, they saw it engulfed in flames and clouds and a storm. They heard “a very loud sound of a horn.” They felt the mountain shaking. Overwhelmed, the Israelites trembled in fear. (Ex 19:11, 12, 16-19; De 4:11, 12) Here, though, Paul stresses a contrast: At Mount Sinai, the Israelites had an awesome experience; however, anointed Christians, “the Israel of God,” figuratively approach the heavenly Mount Zion, and that experience is far more impressive.—Ga 6:16; see study notes on Heb 12:22.
