>why is the temple on top of a mountain?

In the Bible, mountains are where God speak. Moses receives the 10 Commandments atop of Mt. Sinai. Noah’s journey came to an end at Mt. Ararat. Abraham hears God commanding him to sacrifice his son, Isaac, at Mt. Moriah (and fortunately stops Abraham’s hand from completing this task. On Mt. Nebo, Moses sees the Promised Land ahead. On Mt. Carmel, Elijah challenges the priests of Baal to demonstrate their god’s superiority over the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Jesus was transfigured upon a mountain. Jesus would head for the mountains to pray and receive respite from the crowds, most famously at the Mount of Olives.

 

also interesting to note;

"In the last days the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills, and all nations will stream to it."
