Lift up your rod..... over the sea and divide it

The Egyptian army was pursuing the children of Israel and with the Red sea before them and mountains on either side they were trapped. So Moses does as God commands, the sea is divided,  and the children of Israel cross on try land. The Egyptians pursue and are drown as God closed the sea over them (Exodus 13, 14). Secular Biblical scholars, along many others, tend to dispute anything in the Bible that is miraculous, seeking to explain it all away. The Red sea, for example, is said to be the reed sea, a body of water just a few inches deep. Though how the whole of the Egyptian army drown in just a few inches of water,  is not explained. Mount Sinai,  one stop on the journey wilderness wandering,  the place where the ten commandments would later be given (Exodus 19, 20), is said to be in Egypt (and is in fact designates as a tourist attraction). If true this would mean they did not need to cross the Red sea at all. But the Bible tells us that Mount Sinai is in Arabia (Galatians 4:25). Well, you get the point.

The controversial figure Ron Wyatt spent 22 years of his life looking for sites described in the Bible. One of the more convincing ones, is his location of the Red sea crossing. Wyatt found a very large beach (five miles long) at Nuweiba. And it certainly fits the bill as the place where Moses lifted His rod, it being hemmed in by Mountains with a single rout to the beach. There are matching granite columns “of Solomon” on either side of the Red sea at this point. Inscribed on these columns are the words “Mizram (Egypt), death, water, pharaoh, Edom, Yahweh, and Solomon.   Solomon's sea port was at the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba at Eilat (I Kings 9:26) and it is no stretch to believe that he was “very familiar with the Red Sea crossing site, as it was in his neighbourhood” (quote from Wyatt). Wyatt locates the name “Nuwayba' al Muzayyinah” at this exact spot,  on an Arabic map, and tells that it means “Waters of Moses Opening." So at the very least, the ancients believed this was the place. But Wyatt has more.

In particular, and I quote ”The crossing path is about a quarter to a half mile wide and is on a gradual slope down to the bottom of the Red Sea,  and then up to the Saudi beach.  On either side of this path are the depths of the Red Sea, the Eilat Deep and the Aragonese Deep, each 3000 and 5000 feet deep respectively.” But most convincing of all are the pictures taken of “coral shaped chariot wheels fixed to axels standing at attention on the seabed.” These were found on both sides of the alleged crossing. He adds  “There are numerous chariot wheels, plus human and horse bones at the crossing site. Crossing” (see https://bible7evidence.blogspot.com/2014/08/the-red-sea-crossing-ron-wyatt.html).

Father, one of the advantages of being old,  is that you get to see multiple supposed explanations of disbelieved Biblical events and sites, being overturned,  and the Bible account verified. But Father if the Jesus rose from the dead,  then as Your Word says “With God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). Thank You Lord that I don't need to throw away my mind in order to believe. Thank You Lord for the evidence of faith (Hebrews 11:1). We believe help our unbelief in Jesus Name Amen
