Jebel el Lawz, the mountain charred by the fiery presence of the LORD when He gave the Law to Moses, still stands there as a quiet testimony of the historical accuracy of the Bible.
The Bedouins called this mountain Jebel el Lawz. It stands there in stark contrast to the other mountains in the area — scortched black on the top. The Scriptures described the time when Moses ascended to the top of the mountain to receive the Ten Commandments — “And Mount Sinai was altogether in a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire; and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly.” Exodus 19:18
Explorer Ron Wyatt knew that locating the Red Sea Crossing site was the first step in finding the real Mt. Sinai. In 1984, after the underwater chariot wheels were found, Wyatt and his two sons secretly entered Saudi Arabia.
Wyatt knew that the traditional site, located in the Sinai Peninsula, could not be the authentic mountain because Galatians 4:25 declares that — “…Mount Sinai [is] in Arabia.” The ancient land of Midian is where Moses had fled from Pharaoh, and the land of Midian was in Arabia, not in the Sinai Peninsula.
In addition to the charred and melted mountain top, Wyatt found numerous artifacts that proved beyond a doubt that this was the encampment site of the Hebrews where God gave them the Law.
Remains of twelve handcrafted pillars Moses erected for the twelve tribes of Israel.
The encampment was a massive area that could have easily accommodated a million or more people. A large number of rocks placed in circular patterns are thought to mark actual tent locations.
Beginning in 1992, Jim and Penny Caldwell were living and working in the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and visited the famed mountain with their children fourteen times.
Quite by “coincidence” they had seen a hand-drawn map by Ron Wyatt when they were visiting Nuweiba Beach and that led them to their first of many ventures to the “Mountain of God.”
What appears to be an altar area has been found at the Mt. Sinai site in Saudi Arabia, the ancient land of Midian. Evidence abounds that this was an area where many animals were sacrificed.
It should be noted that there is absolutely no evidence of an encampment or other artifacts at the traditional Mt. Sinai desert. Sometimes we assume things because someone makes a wild guess or writes a name on a map. The fact is, the real Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia.
