After finding chariot parts
in the Gulf of Aquaba, Ron Wyatt wondered if Mount Sinai could be
in Saudi Arabia. In Galatians 4:25
the Bible states that Mount Sinai is in Arabia, "For
this Agar is Mount Sinai in ARABIA." The Bible says Mount Sinai is in Midian, and this area has always been known as Midian. Still to this day it is called, "Madyan". After
being denied a visa Ron entered the country without one on foot.
He made his way to 'Jebel el Lawz' (Mountain of the Law), known
by the locals as "Jebel Musa" (Moses' mountain) which
his research showed could have fitted the Biblical description of
Mount Sinai.
Another remarkable find was discovered in the area. A massive split boulder, sixty foot high, forty foot wide,
and twenty foot deep, sitting on top of a rocky hill. Upon closer
investigation we can see clear evidence of water erosion, quite
a surprise considering this was located in a dry desert! Is there
an account in the Bible that talks of such a rock? "Behold
I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou
shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that
the people may drink."
Ex. 17:6. Moses had led the people accross the desert to
Mount Sinai. They were now complaining because they had no water.
It was for this reason that God commanded Moses to strike this rock,
that God could manifest His power to perform miracles, and cause
water to flow from this rock.
Also in the area Ron found the twelve wells
at Elim mentioned in Exodus 15:27,
the stone altar mentioned in Exodus
20:24, the altar that Moses built and dedicated to, "Jehovah-nissi"
in Exodus 17:15. He found a
broken section of a grinding stone or millstone. The Bible says
the Israelites gathered and ground manna in mills, Numbers
11:8. The twelve pillars of stone and the altar mentioned
in Exodus 24:4 were also located and several items of pottery, (Leviticus
6:28, 11:33, 15:12). Exodus
32:5 tells the account of Aaron building an altar to the
golden calf, and Ron found an altar with twelve Egyptian style petraglyphs
of calves. An archaeologist from Riyadh University became very excited
when he saw these calves, he pointed out that they were of Egyptian
style, and were not to be found anywhere else in Saudi Arabia. The
account tells of Moses' anger on seeing the idolatry of the Israelites,
and how he melted down the golden calf that they were worshipping.
Ron found the gold dust inside the altar.
Hebrews
12:18-21, 26, "And
so terrible was the sight that Moses said, I exceedingly fear
and quake...Who's voice then shook the earth: But now He hath
promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but
also heaven." When God's consuming presence on Mount
Sinai shook the earth, Moses said it was fearful. But God has
promised that He will sometime very soon not only shake the earth,
but the heavens also - at the second coming of Jesus Christ.
