Mizar in the Bible — Hidden Meaning & Symbolism

Mizar, mi'-zär (Heb.)-- smallness; reduced; little; few; brought low; insignificant; despised; dishonored. A hill near the Hermons; the little mountain, margin (Psalms 42:6). It is thought to have been a summit of Lebanon. Meta. Mount Hermon signifies a high, sublime state of mind. The Hermons, or three peaks of Hermon, bespeak the exaltation of the triune God; the lifting up, in conscious recognition, of the three phases or activities of the Infinite--Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, or mind, idea, and expression. The mountains of Lebanon represent pure thoughts. Mizar (meaning little, smallness brought low, and believed to have been a summit of Lebanon, from which the writer of the 42d Psalm seems to have obtained a view of the Hermons) is representative of meekness, lowliness, humbleness of thought, which is one of the characteristics of the Christ mind; having let go of self-pride and self-seeking, the individual opens his consciousness to Truth. The mind of Christ, of divine love,"vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up... taketh not account of evil." Expressing in the individual, it makes him willing for the personal to be made very small, that God may be exalted: in the words of the hymn,"Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified."
