Likutei Moharan 10:3/ליקוטי מוהר"ן י׳:ג׳

13. But it is impossible for the idolators to know of the Holy One’s greatness except through the aspect of Yaakov, as is written (Isaiah 2:5), “O House of Yaakov, come let us go in God’s light.” This is because [Yaakov] revealed the Holy One’s greatness even more than the other patriarchs.

2[Our Sages taught:] Avraham called it a mountain and Yitzchak called it a field (Pesachim 88a). People have a better understanding of and more need of a field than of a mountain. Yaakov, on the other hand, referred to it as a house (ibid.), which is even more suitable for human habitation than a field. For the place of the Holy Temple, the place of prayer, Yaakov called a house—a place which people inhabit.

3[Yaakov] elevated prayer from mountain and field to the aspect of house, which is more comprehensible to people than either mountain or field. For in the concept of house, idolators, too, have an understanding, as in (Isaiah 56:7), “for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations.” And when it is on the level of house, then—“with this His exalted name grew still greater.”

4{“God is great, and highly praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness” (Psalms 48:2).} This is the meaning of “God is great, and m’ode (highly) praised.” That is, when is it that God is great?—when He is highly praised by the side of death, the idolators. {As our Sages taught: In the verse (Genesis 1:31), “… and behold, it was m’ode good,” the word m’ode alludes to the Angel of Death (Bereishit Rabbah 9:5).} When they praise Him, then He is great; this being the quintessence of His greatness.

5And when is it that they praise Him? “… in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.” [The idolators will praise God] when mountain becomes “the city of our God,” a place of habitation/house, which is more understood than a mountain or a field. In other words, when prayer is elevated from the level of mountain to that of city and house—so that the idolators will also gain understanding—precisely then, “God is great….” For this is the essence of the Holy One’s greatness: when those who are distant also know of Him.
