I really thought this would be one of the hardest to find without the theme established. This double valley points to the village of St. Katherine (at least, that’s what GoogleEarth seems to call it) at the base of the mountain.

I think I understand the theme. Is it religion? You can either believe religion or not. Also, talk keeps coming back to it. “This clue might have been prophetic” “the solvers are approaching enlightenment” “I have faith that you will figure these ones out as the theme is divined”
You also said on 148 that “Once another puzzle is solved, then together with #141 the general idea will emerge as in a revelation.” This puzzle has Mount Sinai in it which (from Wikipedia): “According to Jewish, Christian and Islamic tradition, the biblical Mount Sinai was the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. ”
Religion: Believe it or Not.

^^Also, on 144, you ask, will you go to the mountain?
There is a saying that goes: If the mountain will not come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain.
Meaning, maybe, Muhammad, the prophet of Islam?

You’ve developed a theory, now put it to the test.
