[Music] [Applause] [Music] welcome to the Holy Land and this biblical site of the Red Sea we're filming this just a little bit down from a lot just a few miles from the Egyptian border and we are at the guava finger of the Red Sea the believed place or the Israelites crossed the Red Sea absolutely phenomenal the miracle that took place and the miracles that surrounded the nation of Israel their deliverance out of Egypt and going into the Promised Land we're going to be looking at the route that the Israelites took after they left Egypt and as they arrived to Mount Sinai so follow along amazing amazing things that God did right here so for many years it was believed that the Israelites crossed the Gulf of the Suez finger of the Red Sea just east of what is now Cairo Egypt however there are no deep bodies of water in these areas just shallow marshes and lakes for this reason the biblical account of this astounding miracle has been questioned by some scholars and has been somewhat discredited to make the Bible out to be not really true but that's not the case whatsoever and we're going to show you amazing evidence in this video that shows that this is the area where the Israelites crossed the Red Sea and they were almost about a half of a mile underneath the water in the only spot on the on the Iguala finger of the Red Sea where it's possible for them to go down and come up so many recent archaeologists and scholars now believe the Israelites crossed the Red Sea at the Gulf of the guava finger of the Red Sea Mount Sinai where the Israelites were headed is located in Midian which is modern-day Arabia modern-day Saudi Arabia so Midian was in Saudi Arabia not in the Sinai Peninsula in this video we're gonna be talking about this fascinating miracle and looking at strong evidence which confirms the modern-day belief that the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on the Gulf of a guava finger of the Red Sea and that Mount Sinai is located in modern-day Saudi Arabia now the traditional place right now where Mount Sinai is believed to be located is in the Sinai Peninsula however we don't believe that is the true location and like I say there is monumental astounding evidence that shows now that the site of Mount Sinai is actually in Saudi Arabia in the Bible supports that we'll be talking about that so let's look at the backdrop of this story to really fully understand the profoundness of this miracle now God called Abraham and said he would make a great nation out of his offspring and Abraham left everything to follow God Abraham birth Isaac who birth Jacob who birth twelve sons and God changed jacob's name to Israel so that's where we get the nation of Israel Jacob and his twelve sons moved to Egypt according to God's sovereign plan there were about 75 and all who left and went into Egypt the Israelites spent 400 years in Egypt during this time they grew into a people of around 2.5 to 3 million people absolutely amazing and in their latter years of their time in Egypt they became slaves and were mistreated now God performed a miraculous deliverance of the Israelite nation from Egypt by performing 10 amazing miracles each of these miracles was targeted at one of the false gods of each the last miracle known as the Passover is when God killed the firstborn of all the Egyptians who did not put the blood of the Lamb over the doorpost of their homes the deliverance of the Israelites from Egypt was done to show several deep theological truths to show God's power and glory that he is above all gods and is the one true God to be a foreshadow of salvation that God would save us in the same manner that he saved the Israelites out of the nation of Egypt so it's a kind of a prototype foreshadow of salvation and to teach his chosen people how to follow and obey Him which would give them life if they were to do so and to show his power and glory to the other nations now let's look at this amazing miracle and learn some fascinating things about it that I bet you probably don't know now how many Israelites left Egypt and cross the Red Sea what was the size of the Israelite nation well in Exodus 12 it says now the sons of Israel journeyed from Ramses to Sukkoth about 600,000 men on foot aside from children so by doing the math we can arrive at about 2.5 to 3 million people now how many Egyptian soldiers were pursuing the Israelites when they left Egypt it says in Exodus 14 so he made his chariot ready and took his people with him and he took 600 select chariots and all of the other chariots of Egypt with officers over them according to Josephus a historian writer a Jewish historian writer there were about fifty thousand horsemen and about two hundred thousand foot soldiers that pursued the Israelites about a quarter of a million almost it would have been impossible for such a large army to have drowned in shallow lakes and marshes just beside Goshen because the bodies of water the finger of the red sea by Goshen by Cairo is very shallow in fact it's just marshes so that's why as I many scholars have tried to liberal scholars have tried to discredit God's Word but that's not the case they did not cross there they crossed here and also there has never been any real convincing evidence nothing found nor archaeological evidence found by Cairo Egypt that would support the fact that the Israelites cross there there has been however much evidence found archaeological evidence to show that the crossing was here and that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia so there has been a lot of discoveries made that I am excited to share with you to begin with God said that he brought them out of Egypt on the very same day that he left so it says that they left Egypt he brought them out of Egypt the border of Egypt was the Gulf of Suez finger of the Red Sea any place the Israelites would have crossed the Gulf of Suez finger of the Red Sea they would still have been in Egypt so he said on the very same day he led them out and they went out of Egypt so they had to be outside of and past the Suez Canal finger of the Red Sea or they would have still been in Egypt now scripture strongly indicates that they traveled a long time through a wilderness before crossing the Red Sea now this is very key so pay really close attention in Exodus 13 it says and this would be proof that they had to cross the Sinai Peninsula and they did not stay and they did not cross at the finger of the Red Sea by Cairo Egypt or by Goshen in Exodus 13 it says now when Pharaoh had let the people go God did not lead them by the way of the Philistines and that was kind of the northern part up there even though it was near for God said that people might change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt so he didn't lead them north he led them around the tip of the Suez Canal or the finger of the Red Sea there by Suez by the Goshen and then he brought them south towards the Red Sea here so a scripture says hence God led the people around by the way of the wilderness wilderness now that's key to the Red Sea and the sons of Israel went up in Marshal array from the land of Egypt Moses took the bones of Joseph with him where he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear saying God will surely take care of you and you shall carry my bones from here with you then they set out from suka and camped and eat them on the edge of the wilderness between Goshen and the Red Sea is no wilderness so they were beyond the Suez Canal tip of the Red Sea out into the wilderness the Lord was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them on the way and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light that they might travel pay really close attention so that they might travel by day and by night so this would mean that they traveled by day and by night they did not stop they had a pillar by night they had a cloud by day so they were traveling day and night through this wilderness through this Sinai Peninsula it says he did not take away the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people this would mean the Israelites walked a long way by traveling both day and night so they traveled a long ways the Gulf of Suez finger of the Red Sea is right next to Goshen only about 20 miles so it says here that they traveled by day and night for a long ways it's only 20 miles it just wouldn't fit the biblical narrative the Sinai Peninsula is a great wilderness and would fit the evidence found at the believed crossing at the Gulf of a guava finger of the Red Sea so the biblical narrative fits this place here and research has shown that a person could cross the wilderness in 3 days traveling day and night by walking just three or so miles our which is just a normal walking pace for a person scripture also says there were no feeble ones among them and that he carried them on eagle's wings during their Exodus so on eagle's wings he carried them and there was no feeble one among them so a pillar of fire by a night a cloud by day and they traveled day and night for some period of time until they reached the aguar finger of the Red Sea the crossing of the Red Sea happened several days afterward so they couldn't have crossed the Gulf of Suez finger of the Red Sea because it is just 20 miles from Goshen there has also been found in the Gulf of a guava finger of the Red Sea in the area of nueva port amazing evidence of coral growth on objects that look like old chariot wheels axles and so forth it has been found on the shore across from Norway by port from the Saudi Arabian side the same figure so you can see in this video here this amazing coral figures that look like axles that look like chariot wheels and they're just all strewn out as you go from nueva out into the Red Sea and then on the shore coming up out of the Red Sea on the Saudi Arabian side as well now you should know that coral doesn't grow in sandy areas it must have rock or something solid to grow on and this area where they cross is just pure sand so these figures are tremendous evidence of chariot wheels that would have come off from the Egyptians as they pursued the Israelites the area where the Israelites would have camped is large and can accommodate 3 million people so this no way of a port here that you can see is huge and it would easily have accommodated 3 million people now interestingly the sea in this area the ocean floor of this part gradually goes down and then gradually goes up just north and south of this area are deep crevices deep ravines in the ocean floor where the Israelites could not have cross over the Iguala finger of the Red Sea there's this perfect spot where it's sandy goes down gradually goes up gradually but it goes down almost a half of a mile down in the ocean now scripture continually refers to the crossing where the Israelites cross as the Israelites going down into mighty waters so this term mighty waters is used frequently in Scripture to talk about the crossing where they went into the water let's look at a couple of these passages which are staggering in Exodus 14 that says but the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left now Isaiah 51 says was it not you who dried up the sea the waters of the great deep the great deep the water is very shallow close to Goshen on the Suez Canal side of the Red Sea very shallow marshes here it is deep so it fits the text you led them through the waters of the great deep great focus on that word great deep who made the depths of the sea a pathway the depths we're talking deep down in the ocean the depths of the sea as a as a pathway for the redeemed to cross over now the lake beds and marshes by Egypt were certainly not waters of the great deep they were very shallow marshes also Solomon referred to the Gulf of a guava here as the Red Sea in first Kings so he talks about his ships coming here and he calls this the Red Sea so this is not a new term it's a biblical term this is a guava finger of the Red Sea now when the Israelites came to the Red Sea at the location of Nueva they were certainly hemmed in as scripture says scripture says that they were hemmed in it says in Exodus 14 but Moses said to the people do not fear stand by and see the salvation of the Lord which he will accomplish for you today for the Egyptians whom you have seen today you will never see them again forever the Lord will fight for you while you keep silent and then the hand of God performed one of the most staggering greatest miracles ever recorded in Scripture think about this 2.5 to 3 million people crossing an ocean is about 8 miles from one side to the other hear of the finger of the of the Red Sea here so it says in Exodus 14 then the Lord said to Moses why are you crying out to me the the Israelites were thinking that they were going to be destroyed by the Egyptians they're hemmed in they're panicking and God says why are you crying out to me Moses tell the sons of Israel to go forward as for you lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it and the sons of Israel shall go through the midst of the sea on dry land as for me behold I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army through his chariots and his horsemen then the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord when I am honored through Pharaoh through his chariots and his horsemen the angel of God who had been going before the camp of Israel moved and went behind them and the pillar of cloud moved from before them and stood behind them so it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel and there was the cloud along with the darkness yet it gave light at night thus the one did not come near the other all night so God provided a supernatural barrier between them that night then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord swept back the sea by a strong east wind all night and turned the sea into dry land so the east wind would have come from the Saudi Arabia side coming into a kind of a headwind to them because the East is where the dry wind is so the waters were divided the sons of Israel went through the midst of the sea on the dry land and the waters were like a wall to them on their right and on their left then the Egyptians took up the pursuit and all Pharaoh's horses his chariots and his horsemen went in after them in after the Israelites into the midst once again middle midst of the sea at the morning watch the Lord looked down on the army of the Egyptians so it appears that the Israelites crossed over and were over God removed the barrier the pillar and the Egyptians then God drove them in supernaturally caused them to come in and his sovereignty to display his glory and so then the Egyptians went into the midst and it says at the morning watch the Lord looked down on the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud and brought the army of the Egyptians into confusion he caused their chariot wheels to swerve and he made them drive with difficulty so the Egyptians said let us flee from Israel for the Lord is fighting for them against the Egyptians against us they were saying then the Lord said to Moses stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians over their chariots and their horsemen so Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the sea returned to its normal state at daybreak while the Egyptians were fleeing right into it then the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea the waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen even Pharaohs entire army that has gone into the sea after them not one of them remained and once again you can see in this video these chariot wheels and the remains of what God did and how he caused confusion to the Egyptians as they were in the midst of the see but the sons of Israel it says once again walked on dry land through the midst of the sea and the waters were like a wall to them it repeats this over on their right hand and on their left thus the Lord saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore when Israel saw the great power which the Lord had used against the Egyptians the people feared the Lord and they believed in the Lord and in his servant Moses so they had witnessed this astounding miracle and they are just in a state of fear a state of awe a state of reverent fear before God now once again this coral growth close to the shore across from Nueva port show the same figures of chariot wheels axes and so forth as found in the sea close to Nueva port so once again as they went in you see these chariot wheels say well now you see them then there just as strewn through the bottom of the ocean floor now interestingly there have been found columns or pillars on the beach of Nueva and on the Saudi Arabian side that are believed markers that King Solomon built to mark the crossing of the Red Sea by the Israelites the pillar on the nuevo side has been found and erected but the pillar on the Saudi Arabian side has been removed by the government and a marker has been placed there however Ron Wyatt who did much investigation about this area found and documented the pillar on the Saudi Arabian side in the 80s now after crossing the Red Sea the Bible says that they traveled to Mount Sinai so they crossed the Red Sea here they come now there in Saudi Arabia there in what is called Midian so to better understand that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia in the land of Midian we have to understand that when Moses fled Egypt and he went into the desert it says that he went into the land of Midian and Midian is in Saudi Arabia not in the Sinai Peninsula it says in Exodus 2 when Pharaoh heard of this matter he tried to kill Moses but Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian the Bible says and he sat down by a well Midian is in Saudi Arabia not the Sinai Peninsula once again and in Galatians the Apostle Paul clarifies we're not Sinai is very distinctly it says now this Hagar is Mount Sinai now he's going to tell us where this Mount Sinai is this Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present Jerusalem for she is in slavery with her children so the Apostle Paul said that Mount Sinai was in Arabia not in the Sinai Peninsula now when God met with Moses at Mount Sinai in Midian God said that Moses would bring the people out of Egypt and they would worship at the same Mount Sinai also known as Mount Horeb which has Midian so when Moses was in Midian the Lord appeared to him in a fiery bush and said I'm going to bring you back to this same mountain and you will worship here with the rest of the Israelites and so that's why it's very clear that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia in Midian because God says I'm gonna bring you back to this very place at this very same mountain and Moses was in Midian now after they crossed the Red Sea the Bible supports the fact and the evidence shows that as they went to Mount Sinai you can see evidence of the places that they went and you can see those to date in the land in Exodus 15 22 it says then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea and they went out into the wilderness of Shur and went three days in the wilderness and found no water and they came to Marah and they couldn't drink the water there so then Moses healed the water now it says in Exodus 15 it says then they came to Elam where there were twelve Springs of water and seventy date-palms and they camped there beside the waters and you can see in this video this place has been found this very place that it talks about has been found and it supports the biblical text then in Exodus 16 1 it says then they set out from Elam and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came through the wilderness of sin which is between Elam and cyanide on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt then the Lord here provided manna after the people grumbled and then he gave them meat in the form of quail birds to eat and then shortly afterward God established the Sabbath day here and then in Exodus 18 1 it says now Jethro the priest of Midian Moses his father-in-law heard of all that God had done for Moses and for Israel his people how the Lord had brought Israel out of Egypt then Jethro Moses his father-in-law came with Moses his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped at the mouth of God this also proves that Midian was close by to Mount Sinai because Jethro Moses his father-in-law came from there to go visit Moses and you can see in this video here caves that are named after Jethro quite fascinating after this it says in Exodus 17 and all the congregation of the sons of Israel journeyed by stages from the wilderness of sin according to the command of the Lord and camped at reffered him and there was no water for the people to drink therefore the people quarrel with Moses and said give us water that we may drink and here is where Moses struck the rock and water gushed out and came out from this rock and then it says in Psalm 78 it says he split the rocks in the wilderness and gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths he brought forth streams also from the rock and caused waters to run down like rivers now this rock is believed to have been found and shows water grooves in it where massive amounts of water ran down it you can see in this video this rock here and you can see the the water channels as it goes down through this now on isaiah 40:8 it says they did not thirst when he led them through the deserts he made the water flow out of the rock for them he split the rock and the water gushed forth here you can see an altar Moses erected after defeating the Amika lights and named it jehovah nissi or more properly said as yahweh nisi which means in Hebrew the Lord is our banner this altar is also located right beside the rock Moses struck where water gushed out for the Israelites to drink east two events happened at refa deem where the Israelites camp for some time after their time in ref Adam it says in Exodus 19 in the third month after the sons of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt on that very day they came into the wilderness of Sinai when they set out from Rapid M they came through the wilderness of Sinai and camp in the wilderness and there Israel camp in front of the mountain so to this point the Israelites had been gone from Egypt for about eight or so weeks they probably arrived at the Red Sea about a week or less from the time they left Egypt then they went three days into the wilderness and camped at Marah from Marah they went to Elam where they camped for several weeks from Elam they traveled through the wilderness of sin Exodus 16 1 says Israel came to the wilderness of sin which is between Elam and cyanide on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt so when they arrived at the wilderness of sin they have been gone from Egypt for about six weeks from the wilderness of sin they traveled to rep Adem where they camp for a week or so then they arrived at Mount Sinai in the third month after leaving Egypt the beginning of the third month would have given them two months time to reach Mount Sinai they would then stay at Mount Sinai for about a year here they would receive the law build a tabernacle and be taught to obey God's laws and principles now there is also much evidence just south of a mountain called jebel al lawz that gives weighty evidence that this mountain is indeed the biblical Mount Sinai at its base are the locations of the altar Moses made out of twelve stones and just below that the altar Aaron made for sacrificing to the golden calf additionally it could have been seen real well by the Israelites now let's look at the evidence around this mountain it's quite amazing first there is an altar Moses erected in Exodus 24 it says Moses wrote down all the words of the Lord then he arose early in the morning and built an altar at the foot of the mountain with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel now you can see here the remains of this altar also you can see Corral's where it's possible the animals were kept for sacrificing as we pan around you can also see the remains of what could have been the twelve stones that Moses used to build the altar of God second there is the altar upon which Aaron set the golden calf and all Israel worshiped before it in Exodus 32 it says now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain the people assembled about Aaron and said to him come make us a God who will go before us as for this Moses the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt we do not know what has become of him Aaron said to them tear off the gold rings which are on the ears of your wives your sons and your daughters and bring them to me and all the people pour off the gold rings which were on their ears and brought them to Aaron he took this from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made it into a molten calf and they said this is our God o Israel who brought you up from the land of Egypt now when Aaron saw this he built an altar before it now you can see here this altar that Aaron would have made for the Israelites to worship this golden calf there is also a painting here you can see of this calf as found in Egypt it appears the Israelites copied a God from Egypt and formed an image of a golden calf and worshiped it here at this altar there are also many inscriptions written on these rocks as well now interestingly this altar this area is fenced and dated like other archaeological sites at the base of these mountains by the Saudi government prohibiting more excavation and investigation however it appears the Saudi government knows something about these places or it wouldn't be fenced off there has also been found a menorah a Jewish menorah painting as well which would give evidence to the fact that the Israelites have been here in this area there is also a cave partway up this believed Mount Sinai that is known as Elijah's cave and this is where the prophet Elijah would have come after fleeing from the great showdown on Mount Carmel with the prophets of Bale and Asherah lastly Mount Sinai was in the midst of fire and smoke and Exodus 19 it says now Mount Zion I was all in smoke because the Lord descended on it in fire and its smoke ascended like a smoke of a furnace and the whole mountain quaked violently the top of these mountains are dark showing possible signs of burnt marks there are other mountains in this area that are dark as well so this darkness is not real convincing evidence the other evidence is much stronger in my mind however it's interesting at the top of these mountains and especially this one here is really dark [Music] now in all of this in this video I want to be careful to not be dogmatic and give the appearance that what you have seen is totally certain what I have attempted to show you is the evidence that seems pretty convincing of the exodus route the Red Sea crossing the areas that that Israelites traveled and the evidence at Mount Sinai it all to me seems pretty convincing in all actuality however the location of these amazing events is not what's most important what's most important is that we believe the biblical account of what God did here and what he did to show us all of the truths he wants us to understand it says in 1st Corinthians 10 11 now these things happen to them as an example talking about the Old Testament and the Israelites that were written and they were written as as for our instruction upon whom the ends of the ages have become so what can we learn from this fascinating place in this fascinating miracle that took place here there's deep lessons here for us so let's look at some of these as we wrap up this video God saved them deliver them and carry them on eagle's wings he's displayed his glory in a miraculous way to them of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea of God leading them through the wilderness taking them to Mount Sinai giving him the law and supernaturally leading them giving them manna and having the cloud - - over them by day and the pillar of fire by night so this should inspire us to trust in God to have a deep reverent fear of him and not to be like the Israelites who disobeyed God did not enter the promised land and believe that God is sovereign he is all-powerful and he is able to deliver and to save and to provide for us so thank you for watching this video I hope you've enjoyed it and God bless [Music]
