We last left the Hebrews trapped on the beach between the sea and the Egyptian army. There are several locations that have been suggested for the crossing of the Red Sea and it is impossible to get a consensus on where the exact location was. We do have clues from scripture, archaeology, history, and even marine biology and bathymetry, that can help us narrow down the most likely place this event could have happened. This video looks at those clues and explains why we think the best candidate for the crossing is at Nuweiba Beach in the Gulf of Aqaba.

Whats the proof you have that "some" of Ron watts claims are fictitious...or "most"?
I remember a teacher talking about how the sea of reeds was only 18 inches deep. Then he said, "God drowned the whole Egyptian army in 18 inches of water!" We all rejected that theory😊
Best commentary on this topic on CZcams.
The problem is most of the area in the Exodus account is in an area that will not allow digs. Most of what was discovered was found via guerrilla archeology. Ron Wyatt was the first to find many of these sites and did a good job of documenting his findings.
Unfortunately, what he says about Wyatt is true. At times, he seemed to go off into Lala Land. But keep in mind that when he was finding the things that others later verified, the accademics ridiculed him. As far as the things found on the sea floor, it was actually his son who first discovered the coral structures. Myself, while I have not completely bought into Wyatt funding the Arc of The Covenant, I think it could be plausible. In fact, it's kind of goosebumpy to imagine that at the moment the High Priest would have been sprinkling an innocent animal's blood on the Mercy Seat, our Savior's innocent Blood was spilling over it.
As far as I am concerned, many of Wyatts claims/findings have not been disproven. And everyone is allowed to make mistakes. All the academics who ridiculed him for suggesting the Red Sea Crossing was at this beach, NEVER apologized, as far as I know.
BTW I am quite convinced the crossong site has been accurately identified.
But then I also believe the remains of the Ark (Noah's) have been found in Turkey. So maybe I'm a crackpot, too.
But more than anything else, I believe, God came to earth , taking on the form of a man, lived a sinless life, died to pay the price for all humanity's sin, rose again on the 3rd day, and sits now at the right hand of God. And anyone who chooses to believe this, AND surrender their life to Him, will have eternal life. He died so we can live.
I dont pretend to understand it, but I know it's true.
Actually most of his findings have been verified and disproven by actual arqueologists. The “blood” he found on the ark that he claims to be the blood of Jesus with half the chromosomes is snail residue. Ron also claimed that Noah built a column to mark the final resting place of his ark, that column was Roman. Those are just some examples that I remember, but I’m sure you can find other of his findings that have been disproven. 👍🏾
@@tomyshayo2522IF RON WYATT'S FINDINGS HAD BEEN ACCEPTED, I WOULD HAVE DOUBTED IT'S AUTHENTICITY BECAUSE 'THE WORLD" WILL ALWAYS BIND TOGETHER but IF THEY BADMOUTH AND ACCUSE SOMEONE ELSE OF LYING AND TRICKERY, THAT SOMEONE ELSE IS BOUND TO BE TRUE 😇😇😇
Amen
Funny caz what's on this video is what Wyatt filmed
When you find out how the Israeli antiquities department treated Ron after he found the ark of the covenant, you understand why there is a huge black cloud associated with him. What is ironic is that he was requested to help right after they said you’re done go home, they said they needed him to retrieve two Israeli soldiers from the area of the cave associated with the Ark.
Ron was the first to locate the very items at the crossing site and I think many are standing on his shoulders of many of the findings. But sadly almost never give him credit.
There are two ways to reach the top of the heap : the first is to just climb.
The second is by pulling down those above you (like Ron Wyatt) 😇😇😇
I believe/know you are right about the point of crossing. It's so simple! It is not relevant to my salvation, but, you are 100% correct!
Dear Lord, You are so gracious and so good to allow the world, in these very last of the last days, to see evidence of the truth of Your word, the Holy Bible. People insist on "evidence" to believe in You and You are showing them real, hard evidence of You and Your word. I pray, Dear Lord, that You will bring many to You by using this wonderful CZcams, Evidence 4 Faith, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen!
I remember coming across the Ron Wyatt videos and how he said he found the Ark of the Covenant. It’s interesting.
not to forget it took the Isralites 3 days to get to the crossing place
Great stuff! Archeology will, in the end, uphold the Bible as truth.
Miriaslaw... one has to remember , the Hebrew population came to Egypt as free people . When they left as freed slaves, other slave groups traveled with them.
Plus they had been there for 400 yrs
Thankyou.
Couldn't they use some sort of x-ray device, if one exists, and x-ray the coral to see if there is any metal under it, like the wheel shape we saw? Or won't Turkey allow it? Would be really interesting if we could.
Yes many of us are aware of the name Ron Wyatt ...unfortunately many people believe him simply because they want to.
Chariots have to travel across a very flat surface. They can’t travel through sand. So to further test your theory you should look for road systems that were connected to this beach.
Note that the Israelites reached the edge of the desert of Etham before they "turned back" and before they crossed the Red Sea and that they traveled for three days in the desert of Etham after they crossed the Red Sea. A crossing of the Gulf of Aqaba from Nuweiba can hardly fit with this Biblical record. They were not "near" the desert of Etham before the crossing; they were at the edge of it. The desert of Etham cannot be on both sides of the Red Sea. The desert of Etham must be close enough to the northern limit of the Red Sea for them to "go back" around the tip of the Red Sea and south along the far side to be able to cross the Red Sea and return into the desert of Etham. Note also that the word "back" in Hebrew is also idiomatic for "west". Pharaoh was expecting them to go a three-day journey into the wilderness, as they had requested and as he had permitted. The point at which they turned "back" or west would have been the point Pharaoh would have expected them to start returning to Egypt. When they did not turn around to return, then he realized they were not planning on returning. Because they turned as they did, God knew Pharaoh would think they were confused and wandering aimlessly and that he would be able to catch them. Nuweiba is more than three-day journey from Egypt. But if Etham is along the eastern shore of the Gulf of Suez, they could have reached its edge in three days, then turned west to go around the tip of the Gulf of Suez to be trapped in a triangle between mountainous wilderness to the south and west, Pharaoh's army to the north, and the Red Sea to the east. As it happens, there is a ridge of shallower water forming a submerged bridge across the northern tip of the Gulf of Suez that is only 50 feet deep at its greatest. The distance across is only six miles, a reasonable distance to make overnight. Crossing the Gulf of Suez at that point would put them into the desert of Etham, in which they could travel south for three days to Marah. While some claim there is a kind of submerged bridge at Nuweiba, the depth at its shallowest point is over a thousand feet, enough to cover the entire World Trade Center. A Nuweiba crossing would also be ten miles. They started at night and finished by daybreak. They need time not just for one person to cross during the night, but all of them with their children, flocks, and carts. A Nuweiba crossing would have been both too deep and too far, and it does not permit them having been at the edge of Etham before and in Etham after the crossing. The week it would have taken to assemble at Succoth, travel three days, turn west around the northern tip of the Gulf, and be completely delivered from any threat by Pharaoh's army would correspond very well with the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Dont forget they were travelling three days (and nights) to rhe crossing point - would be hard do do it in three days with children and flocks
There must be some translation error stating that 600,000 Hebrew men alone were leaving Egypt, when you figure that around 70 Hebrews went into Egypt and then 400 years later it’s not possible for such a population explosion!
So MUCH *_CONFUSION_* aming yout many translations, " ... ever learning but NEVER _COMING_ to a knowledge of the TRUTH ... from.SUCH *_TURN AWAY_* " .
Check ron Wyatt gulf of aqaba
Glad to watch your channel about your research based on the Bible and other historical references and materials. Have you come across another CZcams channel that do the same research such as yours proving biblical truth using other ancient manuscripts and materials to support their research. Their CZcams channel is “The God Culture”.
Interesting that you discredit Ron Whytt. But wasn't he the first of modern discoverers to propose the Neuwiba route. At least you could have given him some mention as Leonard muller did. Instead of discredit. For example Nicholas Teslar proposed many things but there are some things that doesn't seem logical. But we do not discredit his proven inventions.
Kinda funny...Ron Wyatt was exactly at the same location. Hmmmmmmm🤔
They already found the crossing they found the chariots and the 12 stone pillars
Moses parted the Red Sea 🌊 in Alamosa Colorado near the Great Sand Dunes of the Rocky Mountains 🏔️. We have Axils from the Chariots and other Hardware to prove it.
Most of Ron Wyatt's findings are inaccurate. Bob Cornuke might be a more recent and accurate source.
Forget about scholars. The most accurate translation is the King James Version period. Many places are changed in the new translations. And God was with the 1611 translators not with anyone else. God does things once and only once
The crossing of the red sea is symbolic, this is the spiritual meaning :
The Spouses
---------------
After having removed the persons/angels and souls from the flesh of Joel and Jill, to
make way for Jesus-Christ and Anne-Oméga, who came in the flesh, he, to impregnate
himself with the men of his generation and her, to welcome all femininity into its bosom,
because the earth had to be married and it was necessary for him to have a feminine
companion.
This was the parting of the waters of the Red Sea.
(human souls)
Men souls were welcomed into the Spirit of Christ the King
and woman souls, in the Spirit of Queen Omega.
Previously, all men and women without distinction,
dwelt in the shadow of the Supreme Universal Spirit.
(this was the ancient land)
----------------
Subsequently, Joël and Jill were stripped of Jesus-Christ and Anne-Oméga
and became Emmanuel and Emmanuelle.
Dive suits and gear change color the deeper they go? 44:00
Yes because the full spectrum of light does not reach to all depths equally (different wavelengths = different energy levels = different ability to penetrate water). Red is the first wavelength you will notice disappear at shallow depths. As you go deeper, colors start "disappearing" in the ROYGBV order as their wavelengths can't penetrate deeper. So blue and violet are the wavelengths that can reach the deepest. After that it's just dark. So as the divers go deeper, anything red, orange, yellow, or green would start disappearing from their suits.
Exodus 14:2 says it's right here, find this place dig up some pottery or something. 600,000 plus foreigners are going to leave a mark. Exodus 14:2
[2] “Speak to the sons of Israel so that they turn back and camp before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea; you shall camp in front of Baal-zephon, opposite it, by the sea. ( apparently right where the Egyptians like to worship stuff. Had to be southern because the bible also says Moses and everybody went on the trans- Jordan campaign so going south then east of the Jorden river makes the most sense. I just love reading this word of the living God.
Professor Colin Humphreys maintains the very tip of the Gulfof Aqaba is the actual crossing:(1) A Seaof Reeds(2)fresh water(3)'..a strong EastWind, dividing waters to several feet high, then later converging upon the trapped Eygpytians...
I was really enjoying your presentation until you went on your little rant on Ron Wyatt. It's unseemly since this site was first documented by RW. You seem to be jealous of his work. The Turkish Government disagrees with you about Noah's Ark.
What about the eruption of the volcano of Santorini , the pumice found in Goshen, the force which would have created a tsunami?
Ron Wyatt, outlandish claims...hmm...kind of like your outlandish claims! I guess it comes down to who made their outlandish claims first! 🎤 drop
Much of what he states is based completely on evidence. There is some such as the ipuwer papyrus which is stretching the evidence to fit his position but you don't need that. The Exodus is proven by archaeology, the proto-sinaitic script and the Arman tablets. There are hundreds of other findings that fully correlate to the above but on their own are not proof. Yet some only make sense if the above is true.
What lies did Ron Wyatt tell?
BTW, learn how to pronounce Aqaba. The accent is on the first syllable, not the second.
Im curious if anyone has dived the site with a metal detector
They did in Dr Moller's search (which is shown later in the documentary) but without being able to look inside the coral we don't know if the metal detector is picking up some modern debris embedded in the coral (like a nail or bolt from a ship or trash) or actual pieces from an Egyptian chariot wheel. There was very little metal on the chariots in the first place. There's also the issue that metal detectors can only be used in shallow areas and in the case of Aqaba, the majority of the debris field is likely much deeper (the current "bridge" or "saddle" structure is 850 meters deep at its lowest point). Dr Moller was only able to investigate shallow areas (probably around a dozen meters (40 ft) deep or less from what we can tell) which have shown promising clues consistent with what we would expect of a massive debris field of chariots. Any further studies will need to go deeper but as Michael mentioned, this will be very difficult and expensive to achieve. The search area is at least 50 sq miles plus you will need special remote subs and cameras to go that deep (no to mention the specialists to operate them). You'll also need to get permission from the Egyptian and Saudi governments to conduct the study. This whole area has protected coral reefs and a lot of shipping traffic to the port of Eilat. It would not be an easy feat.
EDIT: got meters and feet numbers switched up
God forbid, God use someone like Ron Wyatt, to find ancient biblical places and things without a degree in archaeology. Repent, because your pride and arrogance is sin! The things you claim Ron never found, may very well have been found and is to remain hidden until God determines the time of their revelation. Do you not know, there would have never been a prophet had God not revealed himself to the Prophet. We all know what people like you would have done to the prophets based on how you spoke about Ron. Humble yourself and repent!
Biblical geographical indicators of the mountain of God.
-- It took almost 50 days to reach the mountain of God.
-- The mix multitude would have had no less than a three day head start on Pharaoh and his Army and most likely more when considering the logistics.
And they said, The God of the Hebrews hath met with us: let us go, we pray thee, *three days* journey into the desert, and sacrifice unto the LORD our God; lest he fall upon us with pestilence, or with the sword.
{Exodus 5:3}
And he said, The LORD came --from-- to Sinai, [point C] and rose up from Seir [point A] unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, [point B, in betwixt] and he *came with* ten thousands of saints [angels]: from his right hand went a fiery law for the.
{Deuteronomy 33:2}
In summary,
-- Seir [Edom]: point A is North
-- Mt. Paran [Arabia]: point B is South of Seir, and North of Mt. Horeb.
-- Mt. Horeb [Arabia]: is South from Mt. Paran, and South from Seir.
No detours Southwest to Egypt and the Sinai Peninsula.
The scriptures are more than clear, they came OUT OF EGYPT.
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that *God led them not* through the way of the land of the Philistines, [the coastal route] although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they *return* to Egypt:
But God led the people about, through *the way of the wilderness of the Red sea* and the children of Israel went up harnessed *out of the land of Egypt*
{Exodus 13:17-18}
... [Day one]
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, *in the edge of the wilderness*
And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; *to go by day and night*
He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
{Exodus 13:20-22}
...
And it was told the king of Egypt that the people fled: and the heart of Pharaoh and of his servants was turned against the people, and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?
(More then likely Pharaoh had spies following the mixed multitude, and when they continued after three days into the wilderness, and they did not stop to make offerings of sacrifice to God, the spies returned to Pharaoh with this news.)
And *he made ready his chariot* and took his people with him:
And he took six hundred chosen chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them.
{Exodus 14:5-6}
(The logistics for this would have not been completed in a day.)
Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of *Midian* and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
{Exodus 3:1}
...
And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: *When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt ye shall serve God upon this mountain*
{Exodus 3:12}
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Speak unto the children of Israel, that they turn and encamp before Pihahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, over against Baalzephon: *before it shall ye encamp by the sea*
For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are entangled in the land, *the wilderness hath shut them in*
And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, *that he shall follow after them* and I will be honoured upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
{Exodus 14:1-4}
-- Here we have proof that Pharaoh and his army did not follow the Exodus out of Egypt before he thought that they had trapped themselves in the wilderness be for the Red Sea and the wilderness.
-- Existential evidence from a pure military and security standpoint. God would not have lead Moses and the Exodus to the Sinai Peninsula in such close proximity to the danger of Egypt.
The Future proves the past. In God's correct timing of course. In the mean time, look at all the free publicity God is getting. truct the plan. God's plan. Thank you for this presentation. Patience.
Reed Sea, not Red Sea
Suf = Reed, not Red The Reed Sea
KJV Translation Count: 28x
The KJV translates Strongs H5488 in the following manner: Red (24x), flags (3x), weeds (1x).
@@larrybedouin2921 this is a misstranslation I guess. They missed one e and since then they translated it 'red'. Suf is not red, is reed. There are still reeds growing there
@amam4339
Red because they crossed at the Red Sea. The Pharaoh's army did not parish in shallow waters with reeds.
It is not the Red Sea they crossed, it is the sea of reeds, (some kind of swamp, where a natural phenomenon occurs at times). This phenomenon consist of strong wind that blows and moves the water. Red Sea is a construction from the church to make it look like a miracle. (I looked at it in the bible explanation and real transcription.
This is complete nonsense. The splitting of the sea, indeed the entire Exodus story, is a myth.
Prove it!
Not sure why you even spent your time watching this if you believe so?
You have bump your head. It tells me that you have not read the Bible.
