1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:05,840
Once you see this and this, you 
will know that God really parted

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,760
the Red Sea. 
You're not going to believe 

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,760
this, but professors from the 
University of Arizona have 

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:14,600
claimed by using radiocarbon 
dating that the story of Moses 

5
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:18,120
splitting the Red Sea might not 
be as far fetched as people once

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:19,920
thought. 
But if that wasn't enough 

7
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,800
evidence for you, wait until you
see this Now, in case it hasn't 

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:26,440
quite clicked in your mind why 
this is such a massive 

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:28,440
discovery, let me refresh your 
memory. 

10
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,560
God spoke to Moses through the 
the burning Bush and told him to

11
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,600
go to Egypt and to say to that 
stubborn Pharaoh, let my people 

12
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:38,320
go. 
But Pharaoh would not listen, so

13
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,600
God sent 10 plagues to persuade 
him. 

14
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:44,240
Eventually Pharaoh did obey the 
voice of the Lord and let the 

15
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,080
people of Israel go only for a 
short time. 

16
00:00:47,160 --> 00:00:49,960
The Bible says that Pharaoh 
hardened his heart again. 

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,440
He changed his mind and sent 
what is believed to be 250,000 

18
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,880
Egyptians with their horse drawn
Chariots after the Israelites, 

19
00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,920
who by the way were travelling 
just on foot. 

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,520
You can imagine how terrified 
they must have been. 

21
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,519
Here they were trapped and in 
front of them was a vast body of

22
00:01:05,519 --> 00:01:08,720
water. 
But God never leaves his people 

23
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,640
helpless. 
He told Moses to stretch out his

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,320
hand over the Red Sea and it 
would be parted. 

25
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:16,520
And that's exactly what 
happened. 

26
00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:20,040
Miraculously the waters gathered
into two towering walls on 

27
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,880
either side and a clear path 
appeared for the Israelites to 

28
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,040
cross safely to the other side. 
Now I just want to stop you 

29
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,400
there for a moment because I 
want you to picture this. 

30
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,800
There is actually an under water
land bridge stretching from 

31
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,720
Nueba Bridge in Egypt across to 
Saudi Arabia, near where some 

32
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,800
people believe Mount Sinai is 
located. 

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000
And if you look closely, it 
almost does look like a natural 

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,720
pathway beneath the sea. 
This formation is 33 meters 

35
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,000
below the surface and some claim
it could be wide enough for a 

36
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,720
large group, possibly even 
millions described in the 

37
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,360
biblical account for those 
people to cross. 

38
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,560
But here's where things get 
really interesting. 

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,680
The Egyptians, according to the 
Bible, pursue the Israelites 

40
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:01,760
into the the sea. 
As they did, their chariot 

41
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,320
wheels began to fail. 
Some accounts say that they 

42
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,880
became stuck, and others say 
they completely fell off 

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,440
altogether. 
But Even so, these Egyptians, 

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640
they kept going. 
They kept closing in on the 

45
00:02:12,640 --> 00:02:14,680
Israelites. 
Am I the only one who can 

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,520
imagine the fear? 
These guys would have been 

47
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,000
thinking, they're going back. 
They're going back to be dragged

48
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
into captivity. 
But God knew exactly what he was

49
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,200
doing. 
He told Moses to stretch out his

50
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:27,960
hand over the sea once more, and
as soon as he did, the waters 

51
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:30,520
came crashing back down, 
sweeping, stepping away. 

52
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,920
The entire Egyptian army. 
And not one of them, the Bible 

53
00:02:33,920 --> 00:02:37,440
says, survived. 
So with that in mind, let me ask

54
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,920
you a question. 
If you were to scan the seabed, 

55
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,840
what would you expect to find? 
I think you'd expect to find 

56
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:47,080
lots and lots of chariot wheels.
Well, look at this. 

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,720
Some divers have claimed to find
coral formations that resemble 

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,880
chariot wheels. 
And even more striking, there 

59
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,040
have been reports of circular 
shapes detected with metal 

60
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,280
equipment, consistent with what 
you might expect if you were to 

61
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,000
see ancient chariot remains on a
sea bed. 

62
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Now whether you're a skeptic or 
not, you've got to admit it is a

63
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,680
little bit thought provoking, 
isn't it? 

64
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,480
But maybe you're actually 
skeptical about Christianity 

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,360
altogether. 
And I actually get this. 

66
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,120
It's one of the reasons why I 
don't put any adverts on my 

67
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:16,760
YouTube channel because I don't 
want atheists to think that I'm 

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,200
just doing this for money. 
Because actually the main reason

69
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,440
I'm doing this is because I want
people to hear about Jesus and 

70
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,840
get saved. 
So if you are someone who wants 

71
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,600
to explore the Christian faith 
and you're not against seeing ad

72
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,720
free content in the future, but 
please do subscribe for more, 

73
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,000
all right? 
For many years, the traditional 

74
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,040
tourist location for Mount Sinai
has been Egypt near Sharm El 

75
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,160
Sheikh. 
But others argue that the real 

76
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,920
Mount Sinai is actually Saudi 
Arabia, and the locals claim 

77
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:45,040
they've known it as that for 
generations. 

78
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,800
There's even been an account 
from an American pilot who in 

79
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,520
the 1940s claimed he was told 
not to fly around a particular 

80
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:54,360
mountain because it was believed
to be the holy mountain of 

81
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680
Moses. 
And then check out this in the 

82
00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,600
very same region, there is a 
site that is referred to by 

83
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,080
local as Moses Is. 
Well, some Islamic sources 

84
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,640
dating back to around 900 AD 
claim that this is where Moses 

85
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:09,360
watered his flocks and met the 
daughters of Jethro. 

86
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,840
The Bible also describes a place
called Elim, an Oasis with 12 

87
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,680
springs and 70 palm trees. 
And again, take a look at this. 

88
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,600
There is a location near the 
proposed Mount Sinai that locals

89
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,400
have long associated with that 
very name. 

90
00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:27,840
But waits, there's more. 
The Bible tells us that Moses 

91
00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:32,120
built an altar of uncut stones 
for sacrifices in this area. 

92
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,680
There is said to be an ancient 
altar matching that description,

93
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,200
and when it was examined, 
remains of animal sacrifices 

94
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,160
were reportedly found. 
We also read in the Bible that 

95
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,240
around 3000 people died after 
the famous incident of the 

96
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120
golden calf. 
Some believe that certain grave 

97
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,800
sites in the region could be 
connected to that event. 

98
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,480
Around the mountain there are 
also markings, carvings, some 

99
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,000
appearing to show calf worship, 
others resembling ancient Hebrew

100
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,440
menorahs. 
And these could all point to a 

101
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,360
people who were there 
worshipping, rebelling and being

102
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,120
corrected, just as the biblical 
account described. 

103
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,840
But there is something 
unsettling about all of this. 

104
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,320
Some of these carvings, 
particularly the menorahs, have 

105
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,440
reportedly been removed or 
erased over time. 

106
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,520
And that raises a very serious 
question. 

107
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,720
Why would someone want to get 
rid of the evidence like that? 

108
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,040
OK, but for me personally, this 
is the part that I find totally 

109
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,920
mind blowing. 
The Jewish historian Flavius 

110
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Josephus wrote that the rock of 
Horeb was so large it could not 

111
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,000
be moved. 
Now fix your eyes on what's 

112
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,160
often called the split rock in 
Saudi Arabia. 

113
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:44,080
It's estimated to stand 
somewhere between 40 to 60 feet 

114
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,080
high. 
And what's even more interesting

115
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,720
is that inside of the rock, it 
appears to be smooth with 

116
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:53,240
grooves that look very much like
water erosion, which is quite 

117
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,040
unusual when you remember this 
rock is found in the desert. 

118
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:59,960
And here's the key detail. 
This rock is located at the foot

119
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,680
of what many people believe is 
the real Mount Sinai. 

120
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,760
Now you might be thinking, what 
exactly is the rock of Horeb? 

121
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,280
Well, when the Israelites were 
wandering in the wilderness, 

122
00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,920
they became extremely thirsty. 
They began to complain to Moses,

123
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:17,120
saying, have you brought us out 
of here just to die of thirst? 

124
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,120
Moses was overwhelmed, so he 
cried out to God and he asked 

125
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:22,880
what he should do with this 
people. 

126
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,680
And this is how God responded. 
He told Moses to stand before 

127
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:29,960
the rock of Horeb and strike it.
When Moses obeyed and struck the

128
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,280
rock, water flowed out enough 
for all the people to drink and 

129
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,520
be satisfied. 
Now you do need to listen 

130
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,120
carefully to this because a lot 
of people miss this and they 

131
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,720
don't realize that this is also 
in Scripture. 

132
00:06:40,840 --> 00:06:44,280
Thousands of years ago in the 
wilderness, God was painting a 

133
00:06:44,280 --> 00:06:46,680
picture. 
He was painting a picture of the

134
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,000
cross. 
How do I know this? 

135
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,840
Because the apostle Paul himself
said that rock was Christ. 

136
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,360
So just think about it for a 
second. 

137
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:56,320
Moses. 
He was Moses, an imperfect man, 

138
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,840
and he struck the rock in the 
same way Christ would one day be

139
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,120
struck by imperfect, sinful men 
on the cross. 

140
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:04,800
The Lord Jesus Christ was 
beaten. 

141
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,200
He was mocked. 
He was crucified so that you and

142
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,320
I could receive forgiveness for 
our sins. 

143
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
His body was broken, nails were 
driven through his hands and his

144
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,280
feet. 
A crown of thorns was pressed 

145
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:16,640
upon his head. 
He bled and died there so that 

146
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:19,600
we could be saved. 
And just as the rock was split 

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:23,480
open and water poured out 
abundant water, so too when 

148
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:27,240
Christ gave his life, He offered
something far greater. 

149
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,760
He offered living water. 
You remember how the water from 

150
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,000
Horeb was freely given? 
Well, in the same way, 

151
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,640
forgiveness that flows from 
Jesus Christ is completely free.

152
00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:38,800
So over to you. 
Are you thirsty? 

153
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:42,320
Because if you are, you can come
to the Lord Jesus Christ and you

154
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:46,080
can drink of his living water. 
And I'm telling you, it will 

155
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,400
satisfy. 
But it is worth also, the Bible 

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:52,320
calls Jesus the rock of our 
salvation. 

157
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,480
It also calls him the 
cornerstone, the very foundation

158
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,520
upon which everything else is 
built. 

159
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,440
So the question is this, what 
are you building your life on? 

160
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,760
I remember when I was a child 
hearing this story in Sunday 

161
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,320
school and thinking it actually 
seemed quite harsh that Moses 

162
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,600
wasn't allowed to enter into the
promised land. 

163
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:10,800
But there's a reason for that. 
And this is the part I'm telling

164
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:12,800
you that most people miss in 
Scripture. 

165
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040
So later on in the book of 
Numbers there is a completely 

166
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:19,280
separate incident. 
The people once again became 

167
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:21,320
thirsty and they began 
complaining. 

168
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,560
Moses again went to God and 
asked what should I do this 

169
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:27,080
time? 
God told him to speak to the 

170
00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:29,120
rock and water would flow from 
it. 

171
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,039
But instead Moses struck the 
rock again like he did 

172
00:08:33,039 --> 00:08:35,679
previously. 
So why was this such a big deal?

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,679
Because the rock was never meant
to be struck twice. 

174
00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:43,120
You see, Christ only needed to 
be sacrificed once. 

175
00:08:43,200 --> 00:08:46,160
Before Jesus came. 
There were countless sacrifices 

176
00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:48,920
and countless offerings. 
But when Jesus died on the 

177
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,440
cross, it was a once for all 
act. 

178
00:08:51,560 --> 00:08:53,480
It was enough. 
There was no need for any of 

179
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,640
that to happen again. 
And that's why God dealt so 

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:00,600
seriously with Moses, because he
didn't want to send a confusing 

181
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:03,680
message to the future 
generations about the meaning of

182
00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:05,520
that act. 
There's also another layer to 

183
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:08,520
this as well. 
Moses represents the law, and 

184
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:10,480
the law cannot bring you into 
the Promised land. 

185
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,640
You know that the law cannot 
save you. 

186
00:09:12,680 --> 00:09:15,200
So who was it who led the people
into the Promised Land? 

187
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:17,440
Joshua. 
And here's something beautiful 

188
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,000
to think about. 
The name Joshua in Hebrew is 

189
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:24,240
Yeshua, which is the same name 
as Jesus. 

190
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,720
It means Savior. 
So what does that tell us? 

191
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,120
It tells us that the Law cannot 
save you. 

192
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,400
You actually need a Savior 
instead, and only Christ is the 

193
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,040
one who can lead you into 
eternal life. 

194
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:38,240
That's why Joshua led the people
in and Moses did not. 

195
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,640
But there's something we need to
make abundantly clear right now.

196
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:45,000
Moses is not lost. 
In fact, we know that right now 

197
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,240
he is with Christ in the event 
known as the Transfiguration of 

198
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,040
Jesus. 
Moses appeared alongside Elijah 

199
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,840
with Jesus showing that he is 
alive right now in God's 

200
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:56,680
presence. 
Isn't that amazing? 

201
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,760
So after all that, now let me 
show you where I believe the 

202
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,200
real Mount Sinai is. 
The Bible says that Mount Sinai 

203
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,840
was covered in smoke because the
Lord descended upon it in fire. 

204
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,720
The smoke rose up like a furnace
and the whole mountain trembled 

205
00:10:10,720 --> 00:10:13,200
violently. 
And that's why many believe that

206
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,680
this could be the real Mount 
Sinai. 

207
00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,280
The peaks appear blackened, 
almost as if they they've been 

208
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,120
scorched by intense heat. 
And guys, what's even more 

209
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,360
puzzling is that while the outer
layer looks burned, the rock 

210
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:28,560
beneath appears normal, almost 
as if it's only the surface that

211
00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:30,560
was affected. 
And then there's this little 

212
00:10:30,560 --> 00:10:33,520
section of the mountain. 
It almost looks like a natural 

213
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800
platform, like a pulpit where 
you can imagine Moses addressing

214
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,440
the people, almost like a 
natural Amphitheatre that would 

215
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,200
be perfect for addressing all 
the thousands of Israelites. 

216
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:45,160
OK, but if your mind has just 
been blown at what I've just 

217
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,920
shown you, I promise you I am 
not being dramatic. 

218
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:52,080
Now this insane Egyptian 
discovery is going to leave you 

219
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,640
speechless.
