Exodus Route - The Desert of Sin, where God first rained down Manna, is the desert east of Medina

 


Watch the whole Youtube video “Exodus route 2 - Locating Mount Sinai, the Desert of Sin, Rephidim & the Desert of Paran”.

 

In my previous video titled “Exodus route 1 Locating the Red sea crossing, Pi Hahiroth, Migdol, Baal Zephon, Shur, Marah, & Elim'', I identified Pi Hahiroth which is translated by the Strong’s concordance as both “mouth of the gorges'' or "place where sedge grows'' as the Rawayah Lagoon in the middle of Dungunab Bay. I identified Migdol, which the Strong’s concordance translates as “tower” or a fortified city on the Egyptian border, as Semna, a fortified city founded during the Twelfth Dynasty of Egypt in the area of Lower Nubia. 


I identified Baal Zephon, translated by Strong’s concordance as "lord of the north", as the idol of the storm and rain god Hubal inside the Kaaba in Mecca. I identified the desert of Shur as the southeast desert road from Jeddah towards Marwa in Mecca. I identified the Biblical Marah as Marwah near where the well named Zamzam in Mecca is located. Finally I identified Elim where there were twelve springs and seventy palm trees as a place in Saudi Arabia called Yanbu Al-Nakhal (which literally means “the spring of the palms”).


Exodus 16: 1 The whole Israelite community set out from Elim and came to the Desert of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai.


To identify the Desert of Sin properly, one needs to know about rain shadows. A rain shadow is a patch of land that has been forced to become a desert because mountain ranges blocked rainy weather. On one side of the mountain, wet weather systems drop rain and snow. On the other side of the mountain, the rain shadow side, all that precipitation is blocked. In the case of Yanbu, bordered in the west by the Red Sea and bordered in the east by a mountain range, this side is where wet weather systems drop rain, therefore forming an oasis. On the east side of the mountain range is the rain shadow where all precipitation is blocked. This eastern side is where the Desert of Sin is located, and where the God of Israel first rained down manna, the bread from heaven - see Exodus 16.

Gihon and Pison rivers & Havilah the land of GOLD, located!

In my previous video titled “ The Garden of Eden was in the Black Sea! Biblical and Geological proofs provided! ” dated August 24, 2019, I identified in detail the ancient Gihon river and its entire course. I showed in that video that the head or source of the Gihon started from the Bosporus submarine canyon located southwest of the Black Sea.  Now an early and obvious theory of submarine canyon formation was that some of them present today, were carved during glacial times when sea level was about 125 meters below present sea level, and that rivers flowed to the edge of the continental shelf. From the Bosporus submarine canyon, the Gihon river continued its southwards course, part of which is now currently submerged at the Marmara Sea, then the Aegean Sea, and then the Levantine Sea. It is interesting to note that just very recently, scientists have discovered a giant ancient river system the size of the Nile submerged under the eastern Mediterranean Sea, otherwise known as the Levant

Faulty Olympiad calendar caused 1 year error in redating Herod's death from 1 BC to 4 BC

In my previous blogs titled “Total solar eclipse before Augustus' death proves Herod the Great's death wasn't on 4 BC” , and "Midrash Rosh Hashana proves Herod the Great's death wasn't on 4 BC" , I explained in great detail why I don’t support the revised date of 4 BC for Herod’s death. In this blog, I will be explaining now why I support the traditional date of 1 BC instead, and how the many fierce arguments against this unpopular opinion can all be answered with finality. According to the famed 1st century AD historian Titus Flavius Josephus , Herod's death and elaborate funeral was preceded by a lunar eclipse and followed by Passover. I believe this lunar eclipse was the total lunar eclipse that happened on January 10, 1 BC which was visible in Israel at 04:05 AM Jerusalem time. At this time of the day in Jerusalem, the Sun’s altitude was still 33.37° below horizon , and this means that it was technically night time when the maximum eclipse of t

The river from Eden identified, pointing to Iceland as Eden & the Jan Mayen microcontinent as Atlantis & the land of Nod!

To properly locate Eden and the Garden of Eden, one has to correct several misconceptions about them, and in this video I will be discussing the most serious misconception of them all. Many people believe the garden is located inside Eden itself and on its east side, when in fact, the garden is located only towards east of Eden, but outside of it.  Genesis talked about a river that went out of Eden: Genesis 2: 10 And a river went out [Hebrew: yaw -tsaw'] of Eden to wate r the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads. The Hebrew word “yaw-tsaw'” means to go out, to come out of, exit, or depart. Notice that it did not use the Hebrew words “naw-zal'” which means to flow forth, nor “zoob” which means to flow, gush, issue, or discharge, which by the way were the words used in the following verse: Isaiah 48: 21 And they thirsted not when he led them through the deserts: he caused the waters to flow out [Hebrew: naw-zal'] of the rock for them: he
