Hello, John and Doves,

 

What are the "mountains of Bether" spoken of in Song of Songs 2:17?

 

These are not extant as of this writing.  However, it is written,

 

    "And his feet ⁷²⁷² shall stand ⁵⁹⁷⁵ in that day ³¹¹⁷ upon the mount ²⁰²² of Olives ²¹³², which [is] before ⁶⁴⁴⁰ Jerusalem ³³⁸⁹ on the east ⁶⁹²⁴, and the mount ²⁰²² of Olives ²¹³² shall cleave ¹²³⁴ in the midst ²⁶⁷⁷ thereof toward the east ⁴²¹⁷ and toward the west ³²²⁰, [and there shall be] a very ³⁹⁶⁶ great ¹⁴¹⁹ valley ¹⁵¹⁶; and half ²⁶⁷⁷ of the mountain ²⁰²² shall remove ⁴¹⁸⁵ toward the north ⁶⁸²⁸, and half ²⁶⁷⁷ of it toward the south ⁵⁰⁴⁵."  Zechariah 14:4

 

Thus, the mountains of Bether will be the mountains of "dissection or separation."  http://www.christiananswers.net/dictionary/bether.html

 

For it is written,

    "Multitudes ¹⁹⁹⁵, multitudes ¹⁹⁹⁵ in the valley ⁶⁰¹⁰ of decision ²⁷⁴²: for the day ³¹¹⁷ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ [is] near ⁷¹³⁸ in the valley ⁶⁰¹⁰ of decision ²⁷⁴²."  Joel 3:14

 

And it is written,

    "And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats...."  Matthew 25:32
