Is Jabal Maqla the Real Mount Sinai?

This is the story of four friends who went to Saudi Arabia to investigate the plausibility of the alternative site for Mount Sinai, Jabal Maqla. This video considers the traditional view of the location of Mount Sinai in what is today called the Sinai Peninsula in Egypt, with the alternatives suggestion of an Arabian site for the Mountain of God.

⚠️ Correction: The verse cited at 5:25 should read "Galatians 4:25"

I am old enough to have read, viewed, and extensively researched this alternative route. From the early 1980s until now, following the research of Ron Wyatt and the price he paid to share this place of sacred history with all who would listen. Along with the Caldwells and others, we are blessed to see the way the Lord has continued to lead and bring discovery. Ron's early photographs alone of the area and the gulf of Aquaba findings underwater are nothing short of amazing discoveries. This video is confirming all that hard work and dedication to Jesus Christ Ron Wyatt spent his life researching. Andrew, I respect your commitment to all you are doing to make this place accessible to pilgrims and skeptics. And as a former pastors wife, I commend these four godly men for taking this journey. 😊❤

This was absolutely fascinating. I am surprised at how emotional I became. Our God is awesome! Praise Him forevermore!

[notsure]

Thank you for including Ron Wyatt. This corroborates and expands on his work nicely. Several million points out of ten .

[gloriauselton]

Thank you, Ron Wyatt went there and said that it was Mt. Sinai many years ago. Nice to see others checking thevfind out.

[michaelblazich]

I've fact checked this info from other videos. If you google earth Elim, it is a named place in Saudi Arabia and it still has 12 wells! So amazing! Thanks for a different look and may God bless you.

[Christianmanila]

Thanks to the discovery of Ron Wyatt decades ago. I want to visit this site hopefully soon!

[arlendavis]

I believe this is Mt Sinai. The evidence is truly compelling. I listened to and watched Ron Wyatt's take on this location and it made sense to me at the time. Thanks for sharing this information.

[artdarnell]

It’s refreshing that people Love the Truth as these people. Thank You All and God Bless You.

[josephsalazar]

I have heard about this before, years ago. They showed the mountain outside of that fence and that was about it!
But you have documented the mountain from standing on and giving other substantiating evidence that really shows that this mount is the real Mt Sinai! WOW! What a documentary!

[michielsmit]

Well presented and thank you also for acknowledging the trouble Ron Wyatt took to investigate and break the news on YouTube.

[DiscoveredMedia]

Great video! We had an awesome tour. Glad you guys were able to see these sites first hand. The video does a great job at presenting the case for Mount Sinai being in NW Arabia in ancient Midian. Just a quick clarification... the "Elijah" cave is the only cave on Jabal Maqla peaks. There are other peaks in the Jabal al Lawz range and there are a few caves on those other peaks.

For so many pieces of evidence to all come together in one place just as described in the Bible, I can't understand why, so many questions. In a court of law, THIS would be a slam dunk case!

[kevinwithers]

Glad you mentioned uncle Ron Wyatt, he was a special man who dedicated his life to finding these places, it's important to keep this stuff out there for those who are ready to come unto Christ, from where Sodom and Gomorrah to Noahs ark, ark of the covenant, keep up with your documentaries Safe travels and God bless you.

[derikotto]

Shout out to Ron Wyatt for his research, and to your team for giving him credit. This is totally the place. Thanks for the video. I really wish I could go to these sites that modern archeologists are finding that the bible describes. Now for the big question, did Ron Wyatt actually find the ark? That one is kinda crazy. But with his other finds, do I want to call Ron a liar? Nope. No I don't.

[louisamorris]

You need to understand that if this is the mountain of God, those who go there need to understand that this is holy land! I have watched for 30 yrs where those that went onto this range treated it as a tourist site, this is God's mountain and is Holy, I believe God is understanding, but we need to understand that it is not ours, even if Christians! We need to honor God's presence and power on His chosen mountain!❤

Massive thanks to all the team at Enduring Word for taking the message of the Gospel around the world and bringing Scripture to life by means of your excellent devotionals in people's heart languages. My thoughts and prayers are with all those for whom Memorial Day is especially significant.

The drawings on the rock where the golden calf stood are accurate depictions of the Apis bulls revered in ancient Egypt. This is a further evidence that the drawings were created by people who had previously seen these bulls in Egypt.

[davidcooper]

Excellent video! One of the best I have seen on the site. I am convinced. Thanks for blessing the world with such a good video.

[johnwisener]

Thankyou Pastor Dave and to the team. Family and I were greatly encouraged by what you all found and showed from scripture❤
