THEOSISJerome of Stridon
The twentieth encampment symbolizes beauty and is situated upon a majestic mountain, as reflected in the initial verses of the fourteenth Psalm: "Lord, who dwelleth in thy habitation, or who dwelleth in thy holy mountain?" (Ps. 14). Observe the significance of restraints; they lead us away from our transgressions, usher us into the ranks of virtues, and enable us to reside in Christ, a truly magnificent mountain. This is the stone that, as described by Daniel, detached itself from the mountain without human aid, expanded into a great mountain, and filled the entire earth (Dan. 2:34). It is also the stone that, according to Ezekiel, struck the prince of Tyre (Ezek. 27).
