Bombshell Findings Reveal Proof That Israel's Exodus Existed · Off The Kirb Ministries

  Once you see this and this, you will know that God really parted
• 0:05
  the Red Sea. You're not going to believe
• 0:07
  this, but professors from the University of Arizona have
• 0:10
  claimed by using radiocarbon dating that the story of Moses
• 0:14
  splitting the Red Sea might not be as far fetched as people once
• 0:18
  thought. But if that wasn't enough
• 0:19
  evidence for you, wait until you see this Now, in case it hasn't
• 0:23
  quite clicked in your mind why this is such a massive
• 0:26
  discovery, let me refresh your memory.
• 0:28
  God spoke to Moses through the the burning Bush and told him to
• 0:31
  go to Egypt and to say to that stubborn Pharaoh, let my people
• 0:35
  go. But Pharaoh would not listen, so
• 0:38
  God sent 10 plagues to persuade him.
• 0:40
  Eventually Pharaoh did obey the voice of the Lord and let the
• 0:44
  people of Israel go only for a short time.
• 0:47
  The Bible says that Pharaoh hardened his heart again.
• 0:50
  He changed his mind and sent what is believed to be 250,000
• 0:54
  Egyptians with their horse drawn Chariots after the Israelites,
• 0:57
  who by the way were travelling just on foot.
• 1:00
  You can imagine how terrified they must have been.
• 1:02
  Here they were trapped and in front of them was a vast body of
• 1:05
  water. But God never leaves his people
• 1:08
  helpless. He told Moses to stretch out his
• 1:11
  hand over the Red Sea and it would be parted.
• 1:14
  And that's exactly what happened.
• 1:16
  Miraculously the waters gathered into two towering walls on
• 1:20
  either side and a clear path appeared for the Israelites to
• 1:22
  cross safely to the other side. Now I just want to stop you
• 1:26
  there for a moment because I want you to picture this.
• 1:28
  There is actually an under water land bridge stretching from
• 1:31
  Nueba Bridge in Egypt across to Saudi Arabia, near where some
• 1:35
  people believe Mount Sinai is located.
• 1:38
  And if you look closely, it almost does look like a natural
• 1:42
  pathway beneath the sea. This formation is 33 meters
• 1:45
  below the surface and some claim it could be wide enough for a
• 1:49
  large group, possibly even millions described in the
• 1:51
  biblical account for those people to cross.
• 1:54
  But here's where things get really interesting.
• 1:56
  The Egyptians, according to the Bible, pursue the Israelites
• 1:59
  into the the sea. As they did, their chariot
• 2:01
  wheels began to fail. Some accounts say that they
• 2:04
  became stuck, and others say they completely fell off
• 2:07
  altogether. But Even so, these Egyptians,
• 2:10
  they kept going. They kept closing in on the
• 2:12
  Israelites. Am I the only one who can
• 2:14
  imagine the fear? These guys would have been
• 2:16
  thinking, they're going back. They're going back to be dragged
• 2:19
  into captivity. But God knew exactly what he was
• 2:22
  doing. He told Moses to stretch out his
• 2:24
  hand over the sea once more, and as soon as he did, the waters
• 2:27
  came crashing back down, sweeping, stepping away.
• 2:30
  The entire Egyptian army. And not one of them, the Bible
• 2:33
  says, survived. So with that in mind, let me ask
• 2:37
  you a question. If you were to scan the seabed,
• 2:40
  what would you expect to find? I think you'd expect to find
• 2:43
  lots and lots of chariot wheels. Well, look at this.
• 2:47
  Some divers have claimed to find coral formations that resemble
• 2:50
  chariot wheels. And even more striking, there
• 2:52
  have been reports of circular shapes detected with metal
• 2:56
  equipment, consistent with what you might expect if you were to
• 2:59
  see ancient chariot remains on a sea bed.
• 3:02
  Now whether you're a skeptic or not, you've got to admit it is a
• 3:04
  little bit thought provoking, isn't it?
• 3:06
  But maybe you're actually skeptical about Christianity
• 3:09
  altogether. And I actually get this.
• 3:11
  It's one of the reasons why I don't put any adverts on my
• 3:14
  YouTube channel because I don't want atheists to think that I'm
• 3:16
  just doing this for money. Because actually the main reason
• 3:19
  I'm doing this is because I want people to hear about Jesus and
• 3:22
  get saved. So if you are someone who wants
• 3:24
  to explore the Christian faith and you're not against seeing ad
• 3:27
  free content in the future, but please do subscribe for more,
• 3:30
  all right? For many years, the traditional
• 3:33
  tourist location for Mount Sinai has been Egypt near Sharm El
• 3:37
  Sheikh. But others argue that the real
• 3:39
  Mount Sinai is actually Saudi Arabia, and the locals claim
• 3:42
  they've known it as that for generations.
• 3:45
  There's even been an account from an American pilot who in
• 3:47
  the 1940s claimed he was told not to fly around a particular
• 3:51
  mountain because it was believed to be the holy mountain of
• 3:54
  Moses. And then check out this in the
• 3:56
  very same region, there is a site that is referred to by
• 3:59
  local as Moses Is. Well, some Islamic sources
• 4:03
  dating back to around 900 AD claim that this is where Moses
• 4:06
  watered his flocks and met the daughters of Jethro.
• 4:09
  The Bible also describes a place called Elim, an Oasis with 12
• 4:13
  springs and 70 palm trees. And again, take a look at this.
• 4:17
  There is a location near the proposed Mount Sinai that locals
• 4:21
  have long associated with that very name.
• 4:24
  But waits, there's more. The Bible tells us that Moses
• 4:27
  built an altar of uncut stones for sacrifices in this area.
• 4:32
  There is said to be an ancient altar matching that description,
• 4:35
  and when it was examined, remains of animal sacrifices
• 4:39
  were reportedly found. We also read in the Bible that
• 4:42
  around 3000 people died after the famous incident of the
• 4:46
  golden calf. Some believe that certain grave
• 4:49
  sites in the region could be connected to that event.
• 4:51
  Around the mountain there are also markings, carvings, some
• 4:55
  appearing to show calf worship, others resembling ancient Hebrew
• 4:59
  menorahs. And these could all point to a
• 5:01
  people who were there worshipping, rebelling and being
• 5:04
  corrected, just as the biblical account described.
• 5:07
  But there is something unsettling about all of this.
• 5:10
  Some of these carvings, particularly the menorahs, have
• 5:13
  reportedly been removed or erased over time.
• 5:16
  And that raises a very serious question.
• 5:19
  Why would someone want to get rid of the evidence like that?
• 5:22
  OK, but for me personally, this is the part that I find totally
• 5:27
  mind blowing. The Jewish historian Flavius
• 5:30
  Josephus wrote that the rock of Horeb was so large it could not
• 5:34
  be moved. Now fix your eyes on what's
• 5:37
  often called the split rock in Saudi Arabia.
• 5:40
  It's estimated to stand somewhere between 40 to 60 feet
• 5:44
  high. And what's even more interesting
• 5:46
  is that inside of the rock, it appears to be smooth with
• 5:49
  grooves that look very much like water erosion, which is quite
• 5:53
  unusual when you remember this rock is found in the desert.
• 5:56
  And here's the key detail. This rock is located at the foot
• 6:00
  of what many people believe is the real Mount Sinai.
• 6:03
  Now you might be thinking, what exactly is the rock of Horeb?
• 6:07
  Well, when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness,
• 6:10
  they became extremely thirsty. They began to complain to Moses,
• 6:13
  saying, have you brought us out of here just to die of thirst?
• 6:17
  Moses was overwhelmed, so he cried out to God and he asked
• 6:21
  what he should do with this people.
• 6:22
  And this is how God responded. He told Moses to stand before
• 6:26
  the rock of Horeb and strike it. When Moses obeyed and struck the
• 6:30
  rock, water flowed out enough for all the people to drink and
• 6:33
  be satisfied. Now you do need to listen
• 6:35
  carefully to this because a lot of people miss this and they
• 6:38
  don't realize that this is also in Scripture.
• 6:40
  Thousands of years ago in the wilderness, God was painting a
• 6:44
  picture. He was painting a picture of the
• 6:46
  cross. How do I know this?
• 6:48
  Because the apostle Paul himself said that rock was Christ.
• 6:51
  So just think about it for a second.
• 6:53
  Moses. He was Moses, an imperfect man,
• 6:56
  and he struck the rock in the same way Christ would one day be
• 7:00
  struck by imperfect, sinful men on the cross.
• 7:03
  The Lord Jesus Christ was beaten.
• 7:04
  He was mocked. He was crucified so that you and
• 7:07
  I could receive forgiveness for our sins.
• 7:09
  His body was broken, nails were driven through his hands and his
• 7:12
  feet. A crown of thorns was pressed
• 7:14
  upon his head. He bled and died there so that
• 7:16
  we could be saved. And just as the rock was split
• 7:19
  open and water poured out abundant water, so too when
• 7:23
  Christ gave his life, He offered something far greater.
• 7:27
  He offered living water. You remember how the water from
• 7:30
  Horeb was freely given? Well, in the same way,
• 7:33
  forgiveness that flows from Jesus Christ is completely free.
• 7:36
  So over to you. Are you thirsty?
• 7:38
  Because if you are, you can come to the Lord Jesus Christ and you
• 7:42
  can drink of his living water. And I'm telling you, it will
• 7:46
  satisfy. But it is worth also, the Bible
• 7:49
  calls Jesus the rock of our salvation.
• 7:52
  It also calls him the cornerstone, the very foundation
• 7:55
  upon which everything else is built.
• 7:57
  So the question is this, what are you building your life on?
• 8:00
  I remember when I was a child hearing this story in Sunday
• 8:02
  school and thinking it actually seemed quite harsh that Moses
• 8:06
  wasn't allowed to enter into the promised land.
• 8:08
  But there's a reason for that. And this is the part I'm telling
• 8:10
  you that most people miss in Scripture.
• 8:12
  So later on in the book of Numbers there is a completely
• 8:16
  separate incident. The people once again became
• 8:19
  thirsty and they began complaining.
• 8:21
  Moses again went to God and asked what should I do this
• 8:24
  time? God told him to speak to the
• 8:27
  rock and water would flow from it.
• 8:29
  But instead Moses struck the rock again like he did
• 8:33
  previously. So why was this such a big deal?
• 8:35
  Because the rock was never meant to be struck twice.
• 8:39
  You see, Christ only needed to be sacrificed once.
• 8:43
  Before Jesus came. There were countless sacrifices
• 8:46
  and countless offerings. But when Jesus died on the
• 8:48
  cross, it was a once for all act.
• 8:51
  It was enough. There was no need for any of
• 8:53
  that to happen again. And that's why God dealt so
• 8:56
  seriously with Moses, because he didn't want to send a confusing
• 9:00
  message to the future generations about the meaning of
• 9:03
  that act. There's also another layer to
• 9:05
  this as well. Moses represents the law, and
• 9:08
  the law cannot bring you into the Promised land.
• 9:10
  You know that the law cannot save you.
• 9:12
  So who was it who led the people into the Promised Land?
• 9:15
  Joshua. And here's something beautiful
• 9:17
  to think about. The name Joshua in Hebrew is
• 9:21
  Yeshua, which is the same name as Jesus.
• 9:24
  It means Savior. So what does that tell us?
• 9:26
  It tells us that the Law cannot save you.
• 9:29
  You actually need a Savior instead, and only Christ is the
• 9:32
  one who can lead you into eternal life.
• 9:35
  That's why Joshua led the people in and Moses did not.
• 9:38
  But there's something we need to make abundantly clear right now.
• 9:41
  Moses is not lost. In fact, we know that right now
• 9:45
  he is with Christ in the event known as the Transfiguration of
• 9:48
  Jesus. Moses appeared alongside Elijah
• 9:51
  with Jesus showing that he is alive right now in God's
• 9:54
  presence. Isn't that amazing?
• 9:56
  So after all that, now let me show you where I believe the
• 9:59
  real Mount Sinai is. The Bible says that Mount Sinai
• 10:03
  was covered in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire.
• 10:06
  The smoke rose up like a furnace and the whole mountain trembled
• 10:10
  violently. And that's why many believe that
• 10:13
  this could be the real Mount Sinai.
• 10:15
  The peaks appear blackened, almost as if they they've been
• 10:18
  scorched by intense heat. And guys, what's even more
• 10:21
  puzzling is that while the outer layer looks burned, the rock
• 10:24
  beneath appears normal, almost as if it's only the surface that
• 10:28
  was affected. And then there's this little
• 10:30
  section of the mountain. It almost looks like a natural
• 10:33
  platform, like a pulpit where you can imagine Moses addressing
• 10:36
  the people, almost like a natural Amphitheatre that would
• 10:39
  be perfect for addressing all the thousands of Israelites.
• 10:42
  OK, but if your mind has just been blown at what I've just
• 10:45
  shown you, I promise you I am not being dramatic.
• 10:48
  Now this insane Egyptian discovery is going to leave you
• 10:52
  speechless. Click here if you want to find
• 10:54
  out who archaeologists believe is the real Moses.
