This document discusses archaeological evidence that supports the biblical account of Moses and the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. It describes findings at locations associated with biblical figures like Jacob, Joseph, and Aaron. It then focuses on the discovery of chariot wheels and bones in the Gulf of Aqaba, supporting the story of Pharaoh's army being drowned while pursuing the Israelites across the sea. Further evidence is presented for locations on the Saudi side of the gulf that match the biblical description of Mount Sinai.
A verse by verse commentary on Acts chapter 21 dealing with Paul's journey to Jerusalem where he went into the temple. Jews were angry and sought to kill him, but the Romans came to his rescue and stopped the beating. Paul was then arrested, but still allowed to speak to the angry crowd.
A verse by verse commentary on Exodus 14 dealing with Pharaoh changing his mind and going after the Israelites with his vast army of chariots. Moses parts the water and the people cross over, but the Egyptians are covered with water as it closes over them and Israel is safe on the other side.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

2. First Question: We look at documentary & archeological evidence! Did the Biblical Characters involved with the Exodus really exist?
3. Isaac’s son Jacob dug a well near Sychar, where Jesus talked to the woman of Samaria 1000 years later. Local Bedouins & Jews call this Jacob’s well. This picture is from 1884 AD. It still exists today within the walled complex of a Greek Orthodox Monastery. Abraham had a son called Isaac
4.
5. 1865 Photo: Joseph’s Tomb in Palestine! Jacob‘s favorite son Joseph was sold by his brothers into Egypt as a slave, but he became under-Pharaoh ! After 400 years there Moses, on Joseph’s orders, carried Joseph’s bones with him when Israel left Egypt.
6. Moses must have loved his father very much! It’s the longest tomb in the world! Tomb of Amram, Moses’ Father Exodus 6:20 “And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [were] an hundred and thirty and seven years.
7. Moses’ brother Aaron helped him lead 2-3 million of their people Israel out of Egypt. Of the mountains that encircle the great bowl of Petra, none is more commanding than Jabal Haroun, Aaron's Mountain, or Mt. Hor of the Bible. At 1,350 metres above sea-level it is the highest peak in the area; and it is a place of great sanctity to the local people for here, they believe, Moses' brother Aaron died and was buried. Numbers 20:28 “And Moses stripped Aaron of his garments, and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there in the top of the mount [Hor]: and Moses and Eleazar came down from the mount.”
15. Nuweiba beach at the gulf of Aqaba from where they presumably crossed over… Pretty big beach no? For 2 million people? I always did wonder how that pillar of fire could have stopped the Egyptians by night. Just go around it! No sir! Those hills were too steep for their chariots!
16. Checking sonar depth measurements, Wyatt discovered an underwater land bridge exactly between Nuweiba Beach & the Saudi side.
17. God divided the sea by an Eastern storm exposing this underwater land bridge & Moses went over it as if it were dry land! That’s how 2-3 million of them could cross! Exodus 14:21-22 “Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go [back] by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry [land], and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry [ground]: and the waters [were] a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.”
18. According to the Bible account Pharaoh’s chariots tried to pursue them original picture of Pharaoh’s chariots EX. 14:23 The Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 …it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD 25 took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. 26 And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. 27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. 28 And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
19. So Wyatt decided to go scuba diving & look underwater there! Guess what he discovered…
20. Wheels of Pharaoh’s chariots that got drowned when trying to pursue them! Artefacts found include wheels, chariot bodies, as well as human and horse bones. Divers have located such on the Saudi coastline opposite Nuweiba as well.
21. Since 1987, Ron Wyatt found three four-spoke gilded chariot wheels. Coral does not grow on gold, hence the shape has remained very distinct, although the wood inside the gold veneer has disintegrated making them too fragile to move. The hope for future expeditions is to explore the deeper waters with remote cameras or mini-subs.
22. A coral-encrusted chariot wheel, filmed off the Saudi coastline, matches chariot wheels found in Tutankhamen's tomb.
23. Chariot wheel and axle covered with coral and up-ended. Exodus 14:25 'And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily...'
24. Mineralized bone, one of many found at the crossing site tested by the Department of Osteology at Stockholm University, was found to be a human femur, from the right leg of a 165-170cm tall man. It is essentially 'fossilized, ' i.e., replaced by minerals and coral, hence cannot be dated by radiocarbon methods, although this specimen was obviously from antiquity.
25. Solomon's Memorial Pillars. When Ron Wyatt first visited Nuweiba in 1978, he found a Phoenician style column lying in the water. Unfortunately the inscriptions had been eroded away, hence the column's importance was not understood until 1984 when a second granite column was found on the Saudi coastline opposite -- identical to the first, except on this one the inscription was still intact!
26. Ron Wyatt found 2 pillars King Solomon put on both beaches to commemorate the Red Sea crossing! In Phoenician letters (Archaic Hebrew), it contained the words: Mizraim (Egypt ); Solomon; Edom; death; Pharaoh; Moses; and Yahweh, indicating that King Solomon had set up these columns as a memorial to the miracle of the crossing of the sea. Saudi Arabia does not admit tourists, and perhaps fearing unauthorized visitors, the Saudi Authorities have since removed this column, and replaced it with a flag marker where it once stood.
27. They crossed the Red Sea to Saudi Arabia where according to these archeologists the real Holy Mountain Sinai is. From here Where Moses got the 10 commandments
