Here are some examples from the 1000s of stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran. Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur
513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of Noble Verses.
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
Habakkuk 3:3
God came from
Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran.
English is sometimes problematic in
translation. It translates the
F
as P.
For example Philistine is pronounced Palestine. And we also have this
silly PH
substituting the F
in many words. Similarly, Faran is
pronounced and written as Paran. Even in the
Arabic Bible, the word is Faran, not Paran.
Why is this important? Well it turns out that even
100s of
years before Islam, the mountains and region of Pharan
or
Faran
were known to be in and around modern-day
Mecca.
See the proofs below from Christian, Jewish and other sources. I'll use Paran and not Faran or Pharan for the sake of simplicity throughout this article.
Tema in
Hebrew means the "south country",
and it implies southern Arabian land and region. See
Bible Atlas
and several Christian and Jewish sources, below. We also know that Tema
(Tayma) is
in Saudi Arabia
today, and Saudi Arabia is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan:
Encyclopedia
TEMA
te'-ma (tema',
"south
country"; Thaiman): The name of a son
of Ishmael (Genesis
25:151
Chronicles 1:30), of the tribe descended from him (Jeremiah
25:23), and of the place where they dwelt (Job
6:19Isaiah
21:14). This last was a locality in
Arabia
which probably corresponds to the
modern Teima' (or Tayma' (see Doughty, Arabia
Deserta, I, 285)), an oasis which lies about
200 miles North of el-Medina,.....
Even the Christian writings, below, in year
314 AD
say Paran was Mecca. That's 300 years before Islam. Also, the
Jewish Samaritan Pentateuch
says Paran was Mecca. See the details below. Also,
Pagan Teman
vs. Islam Teman
in the OT is discussed below. Also, "burden" is a monumental honorable thing
from GOD Almighty. Burden was used for
Noah and other Prophets' tasks as
well. Notice how GOD Almighty will come
from a far southern land,
and from Teman and Paran in Arabia:
Isaiah 21:13
13
The
burden
upon Arabia....
Habakkuk 1:1
1 The
burden which Habakkuk the prophet did see.
What burden did he see?
Habakkuk 3:3
3 God came from
Teman, and the Holy One from
mount Paran. Selah. His
glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Isaiah 30:6
6 The burden of the beasts of the
south: into the land of trouble and
anguish, from whence come the young and old lion, the viper and fiery flying
serpent, they will carry their riches upon the shoulders of young asses, and
their treasures upon the bunches of camels, to a people that shall not profit
them.
Isaiah 30:27
27 Behold, the
name of the
Lord cometh
from far, burning with his anger, and the
burden thereof is heavy: his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue as a
devouring fire:

Tema in
Hebrew means the "south country" (see Bible Atlas below). We also know that Tema
(Tayma) is
in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia
is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan:
"The
Land of Tema,
Te'-ma or Tema (Hebrew: תֵּמָא, Greek: Θαιμάν,
Arabic: تيماء and Thaiman) is a place mentioned in
the Bible[1][2] where the descendants of Ishmael's
son Tema dwelt.
In Hebrew,
the name means "south
country" (see Bible Atlas below).
It was most likely in northern Saudi Arabia and has
been identified with the
modern Teima',[3][1][2][4]
an oasis (fitting with the description in Jeremiah)
which lies about 200 miles (320 km) north of Medina,
and some 40 miles (64 km) south of Dumat (Dumah),
now known as el-Jauf. Teima' is on the ancient
caravan road connecting the Persian Gulf with the
Gulf of Aqaba which in antiquity bought wealth to
the town.[5][6] Doughty has described at Teima the
ruins of an old city wall 3 miles (4.8 km) in
circuit.[7] An Aramaic stele recently discovered,
belonging to the 6th century BC, shows the influence
of Assyrian in the town. The place is mentioned in
the cuneiform inscriptions.[8][9] The possibility of
its being on a trade route is supported by the
reference in Job 6:19.[10] It is often associated
with the Land of Dumah.
The Bible mentions Tema several times, including
Isaiah 21:14; Jeremiah 25:23, 49:7, 49:20; Obadiah
1:9; and Amos 1:12. One of the protagonists in Job
is Eliphaz the Temanite, and 1 Chronicles refers to
Husham of the land of the Temanites.
Outside of the Bible,
it was mentioned by Ptolemy,[11] Pliny,[12]
Agatharchides,[13][14] and Josephus.[15] It was
noted as halfway
between Damascus and Mecca,
and between Babylonia and Egypt.[16] Yaqut mentions
that in the Middle Ages, it was inhabited by a
Jewish Community.[17] Nabunaid of Babylon captured
the city [18][3] and settled there until Cyrus the
Great captured the city and moved him to Carmania."

te'-ma (tema',
"south
country"; Thaiman): The name of a son
of Ishmael (Genesis
25:151
Chronicles 1:30), of the tribe descended from him (Jeremiah
25:23), and of the place where they dwelt (Job
6:19Isaiah
21:14). This last was a locality in
Arabia
which probably corresponds to the
modern Teima' (or Tayma' (see Doughty, Arabia
Deserta, I, 285)), an oasis which lies about
200 miles North of el-Medina, and some 40
miles South of Dumat el-Jandal (Dumah), now known as
el-Jauf. It is on the ancient caravan road connecting
the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Aqaba; and doubtless
the people took a share in the carrying trade (Job
6:19). The wells of the oasis still attract the
wanderers from the parched wastes (Isaiah
21:14). Doughty (loc. cit.) describes the ruins of
the old city wall, some 3 miles in circuit. An Aramaic
stele recently discovered, belonging to the 6th century
B.C., shows the influence of Assyrian article The place
is mentioned in the cuneiform inscriptions (Schrader,
KAT2, 149).
Teman references what was then
a vast region
in Arabia that encompassed the
tribes of Teman and the lands of Paran.
Both Teman and Paran are linked together in
Habakkuk 3:3.
The context encompasses both of them.
"Moses was a lawgiver, and promulgated a new code;
so did Mahomed. Jesus, on the contrary,
declared he was not come to abrogate but to "fulfill
the law;" and declared that "not a jot or little of
the law should pass away until all these things were
fulfilled." The Christian heresies have, by
their laxity and corruption, subverted the decent
observances of the law, and introduced a heathen
license; but Islam confirms and fulfills this
prophecy and ordinance completely.... But the still
greater light to be brought by Mahomed is now to be
foretold. At Isi. c. 21, v. 13-15 the Hegira
is predicted. "In the forest in Arabia shall
ye lodge ye travelling companies of Dedanim"
The whole of the tribe of Dedan, to which Obeidollah
and many other distinguished Mussulman fathers
belonged, emigrated to Medina, leaving their houses in
Mecca locked up. "The
inhabitants of the land of Tema (the
name of a son of Ishmael, and the name of the tribe
to which the Prophet's father-in-law Abueka
belonged) brought water to him that was thirsty,
they prevented with their bread him that fled."
The part of the Hijaz in which Medina is situated is
called Tema to-day, doubtless from the tribe of
Tema. The whole of the twenty-eighth of Isaiah
is a prophecy of the mission of Mahomed and of Islam
as the 'mighty and strong one,' and 'the overflowing
scourge.' * * * And here also the peculiar mode in
which the Koran was revealed, and the personal
characteristics of the Prophet, are quite literally
depicted. * * *"
de'-dan, de'dan-its
(the King James Version Dedanim, ded'-a-nim; dedhan,
"low," dedhanim): An Arabian people named in Genesis
10:7 as descended from Cush; in Genesis
25:3 as descended from Keturah. Evidently, they
were, like the related Sheba (Sabaeans), of mixed
race (compare Genesis
10:7, 28). In Isaiah
21:13 allusion is made to the "caravans of
Dedanites" in the wilds of Arabia, and Ezekiel mentions them as
supplying Tyre with precious things (Ezekiel
27:20; in verse 15, "Dedan" should probably be
read as in Septuagint, "Rodan," i.e. Rhodians). The
name seems still to linger in the island of Dadan,
on the border of the
Persian Gulf. It is found also in Min.
and Sab. inscriptions (Glazer, II, 392).
(2) a town in the highlands of Judah between Hebron
and Beersheba, now ed-Daume (Joshua
15:52);
(3) an emblematical designation of Edom in the
obscure oracle (Isaiah
21:11, 12);
(4) an
Ishmaelite tribe in Arabia (Genesis
25:141
Chronicles 1:30). According to the Arabic
geographies this son of Ishmael rounded the town of
Dumat-el-Jandal, the stone-built Dumah, so called to
distinguish it from another Dumah near the
Euphrates. The former now bears the name of the Jauf
("belly"), being a depression situated half-way
between the head of the Persian Gulf
and the head of the gulf of
Akaba(these are Arab
lands). Its people in the time of
Mohammed were Christians of the tribe of Kelb. It
contained a great well from which the palms and
crops were irrigated. It has often been visited by
European travelers in recent times. See Jour. Royal
Geog. Soc., XXIV (1854), 138-58; W. G. Palgrave,
Central and Eastern Arabia, chapter ii. It is
possible that the oracle in Isaiah (number 3 above)
concerns this place.

Again, the Christian writings, below, in year
314 AD
say Paran was Mecca. That's 300 years before Islam. Also, the
Jewish Samaritan Pentateuch
says Paran was Mecca. See the details below. Also,
Becca is Mecca in Psalm 84:6.
According to (1)
Cambridge commentary,
(2)
Jewish Encyclopedia and (3)
Encyclopedia Biblica in Arabic and other sources. Ample Jewish and
Christian references declare Becca's geography to be modern-day Mecca:
GOD's burden will be upon Arabia prophecy. The same word, "burden," was
also used for monumental assigned tasks to Prophets. So, Arabia was
chosen to carry the burden, and to bear the brunt and pain of
spreading GOD Almighty's Truth to the entire world. See Goddess
Asherah, pornography, return of the Messiah from Damascus, Bible and
Islam Prophecy for ample verses and proofs. The Prophecy
also says GOD will come from a far
southern land[1],
and from Teman and Paran [1](both
are in Saudi Arabia). That's precisely Islam.
300 years before Islam,
Paran's geography
was determined to be in modern-day Mecca. Manuscripts were
found.
GOD's future wrath
upon Israel:
Habakkuk 2,
below, speaks about GOD Almighty's ire against those
who spoil their neighbors and the nations of the
earth. Also, notice in
Habakkuk 2 the
cup
of GOD Almighty turning against those
who spoil
their neighboring nations and others.
300
years before Islam, Paran
was Mecca:

The minor
prophet Habakkuk references that
"God is coming from Teman, the
Holy One from Mount Paran" in
Habakkuk 3:3.
Both
Eusebius (in his Onomasticon, a Bible
dictionary) and Jerome reported that Paran was a
city in Paran desert, in Arabia Deserta (beyond
Arabia Nabataea), southeast of Eilat Pharan.
Onomasticon, under Pharan, states:
"(Now) a city beyond Arabia
adjoining the desert of the Saracens [who wander in
the desert] through which the children of Israel
went moving (camp) from Sinai. Located (we say)
beyond
Arabia on the
south, three days journey
to the east of Aila (in the desert Pharan) where
Scripture affirms Ismael dwelled, whence the
Ishmaelites. It is said (we read) also that (king)
Chodollagomor cut to pieces those in 'Pharan which
is in the desert'."
In the link
above, Eusebius of Caesarea (/juːˈsiːbiəs/; Greek:
Εὐσέβιος τῆς Καισαρείας, Eusébios tés Kaisareías; ad
260/265 – 339/340), also known as Eusebius Pamphili
(from the Greek: Εὐσέβιος τοῦ Παμϕίλου), was a
historian of Christianity, exegete, and Christian
polemicist. He became the bishop of Caesarea
Maritima
about 314 AD.
Eusebius'
mention of
Chodollagomor here refers to a possible
earlier mention of Paran in Genesis 14:6, which
states that as he and the other kings allied with
him were campaigning in the region of Sodom and
Gomorrah, they smote "the Horites in their mount
Seir, unto El-paran, which is by the wilderness". (KJV)
Sebeos, the Armenian Bishop and historian,
describing the Arab conquest of his time, wrote that
the Arabs "assembled and came out from Paran".[4][5]
in 1989, Professor
Haseeb Shehada, in his translation of the
Samaritan Torah, suggested an identification of the
wilderness of
Paran with the desert of Western Arabia,
which is known today as the Hijaz.
In the link
above, Haseeb Shehadeh is an Israeli Christian Arab
scholar and professor, born in 1944 in the village
of Kufr Yasif in the Galilee.
Islamic
traditions
The Arab
geographer
Al-Muqaddasi mentioned in his book that
the Red Sea branches into two "at the extremity of
al-Hijaz at a
place
called
Faran".
The
association of Paran in Genesis 21:21 with Ishmael
and the Ishmaelites is affirmed by the Muslim
geographer Yaqut al-Hamawi who writes
"Faran,
an arabized Hebrew word, one of the names of
Mecca
mentioned in the Torah." Islamic and Arabic
traditions hold that the wilderness of Paran is,
broadly speaking, the Hejaz, the northern half of
Tihamah, stretching along the east side of the Red
Sea starting from Jordan and Sinai,[9] and that the
specific site where Ishmael settled is that of
Mecca, near the mountains of Paran.
The "Desert of Paran"
is also interpreted as Hijaz in an old
Arabic translation of the
Samaritan Pentateuch. When it was
translated into English in 1851, it was found to
include a footnote making this interpretation. [15]
The name 'Paran'
or 'Faran'
has
often been used to refer specifically to the
wilderness and
mountains near where Mecca
is situated.[15]
In the link
above, The Samaritan Pentateuch, also known as the
Samaritan Torah (Hebrew: תורה שומרונית torah
shomronit), is a text of the first five books of the
Hebrew Bible, written in the Samaritan alphabet and
used as scripture by the Samaritans. It constitutes
their entire biblical canon.
Al-Hamdani in his book Geography of the
Arabic Peninsula says that the Paran mountains
around Mecca were named after Paran son of
Amalek.[16] Sam'ni in his Book of
Surnames also says that the
surname Farani
is derived from the Faran mountains
near Mecca
in Hijaz [17]
According to
Wahb ibn Munabbih, there was a
Tal Faran ("Hill of
Faran") on the outskirts of Mecca,
mentioned in his book
Kitab al-Tijan, a Pre-Islamic Arabic
folklore compilation.[8] Ibn Munabbih further
suggested an identification for Tal Faran as the
'mound of the Two runaways', a place where the
Jurhum tribe found Hagar and Ishmael and thought of
them as two runaways. [18]
Haggai Mazuz, a scholar of Islam associated with the
Bar-Ilan University, asserts that Muslim
polemicists' (like the Jewish convert
Samawʾal al-Maghribī, 1125–1175 CE)
appropriation of Deut. 33:2 has antecedence in
Jewish tradition itself, as some Midrashim and
Targumim, before the rise of Islam itself, posed a
connection between Paran and Ishmael-Arabs, which
might have fuelled later such apologetic Islamic
interpretations in the first place.
^The
miracle of the well that happened to Hagar
and Ishmael in Mecca is further identified
in a hadith of Ibn Ezra with the well Zimum
(Zimzum), "where the Arabs hold an annual
festival", mentioned as the well of Hagar in
Genesis 16:14: "She called the well Be'er
Lachai Roi; it is between Kadesh and Bered". Dr

We read this
prophecy in the
Bible: "GOD came from
Teman and his Holy One from
Paran"
(Habakkuk 3:3).

Tema in Hebrew means the "south
country". We also know that Tema (Tayma)
is
in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia
is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan.

We also know that
Paran was Mecca
even before Islam. Even
the Christian writings in year
314 AD say Paran was Mecca. Also, the Jewish Samaritan
Pentateuch says Paran was Mecca.

We also know in
Deuteronomy
18:18, GOD will send the Israelites a
Prophet from their
"brothers"
[2].
That's the Ishmaelites. Ample verses also
provided where the same word was also used for
cousins.
Isaac and Ishmael were brothers, and their sons are
cousins.

Teman here references what was then
a vast region
in Arabia that encompassed the
tribes of Teman and the lands of Paran.
Both Teman and Paran are linked together in
Habakkuk 3:3.

is an honorable burden (ample Bible verses declare this).

Let us look at the following prophecy from
the book of
Habakkuk in the Old Testament. It appears that GOD Almighty is making this prophecy to
be reserved for the latter days:
Habakkuk 2
1. I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see
what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
2. And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon
tables, that he may run that readeth it.
3.
For the vision
is yet for an appointed time, but at
the end
it shall speak, and not lie: though it
tarry, wait for it; because it will
surely
come, it will not tarry.
4. Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall
live by his faith.
5. Yea also, because he transgresseth
by wine, he is a proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as
hell, and is as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all
nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
6. Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb
against him, and say, Woe to him that increaseth that which is not his! how
long? and to him that ladeth himself with thick clay!
7. Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite thee, and awake that shall
vex thee, and thou shalt be for booties unto them?
8. Because
thou (i.e., evil Israel)
hast
spoiled many nations,
all the remnant of the people shall spoil thee; because of men's blood, and for
the violence of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
9. Woe to him that coveteth an evil covetousness to his house, that he may set
his nest on high, that he may be delivered from the power of evil!
10. Thou hast consulted shame to thy house by cutting off many people, and hast
sinned against thy soul.
11. For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber
shall answer it.
12. Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by
iniquity!
13. Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts that the people shall labour in the
very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?
14. For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord,
as the waters cover the sea.
15.
Woe
unto him that giveth his
neighbour
drink, that puttest thy bottle to
him, and makest him drunken also, that thou mayest look on their
nakedness!
16. Thou art filled with shame for glory: drink thou also, and let thy foreskin
be uncovered:
the cup of the Lord's right hand shall be turned unto thee, and
shameful spewing shall be on thy glory.
17.
For the violence of
Lebanon shall cover thee, and the spoil
of beasts, which made them afraid, because of men's blood, and for the violence
of the land, of the city, and of all that dwell therein.
18. What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the
molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth
therein, to make dumb idols?
19. Woe unto him that saith to the wood, Awake; to the dumb stone, Arise, it
shall teach! Behold, it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no
breath at all in the midst of it.
20. But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before
him.
Habakkuk 3
1. A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet upon Shigionoth.
2. O Lord, I have heard thy speech, and was afraid: O Lord, revive thy work in
the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember
mercy.
3.
God came from
Teman,
and the Holy One from mount
Paran.
Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise.
Note: We know
Teman is Arabia. Teman are
also from Ishmael. Read
Genesis 36. Also, early Christians in year 300 AD wrote
that Paran is Faran near Mecca. Paran is Mecca (Pharan).

Tema in Hebrew means the "south
country". We also know that Tema (Tayma)
is
in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia
is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan.
"The
Land of Tema,
Te'-ma or Tema (Hebrew: תֵּמָא, Greek: Θαιμάν,
Arabic: تيماء and Thaiman) is a place mentioned in
the Bible[1][2] where the descendants of Ishmael's
son Tema dwelt.
In Hebrew,
the name means
"south
country" (see Bible Atlas below).
It was most likely in northern Saudi Arabia and has
been identified with the
modern Teima',[3][1][2][4]
an oasis (fitting with the description in Jeremiah)
which lies about 200 miles (320 km) north of Medina,
and some 40 miles (64 km) south of Dumat (Dumah),
now known as el-Jauf. Teima' is on the ancient
caravan road connecting the Persian Gulf with the
Gulf of Aqaba which in antiquity bought wealth to
the town.[5][6] Doughty has described at Teima the
ruins of an old city wall 3 miles (4.8 km) in
circuit.[7] An Aramaic stele recently discovered,
belonging to the 6th century BC, shows the influence
of Assyrian in the town. The place is mentioned in
the cuneiform inscriptions.[8][9] The possibility of
its being on a trade route is supported by the
reference in Job 6:19.[10] It is often associated
with the Land of Dumah.
The Bible mentions Tema several times, including
Isaiah 21:14; Jeremiah 25:23, 49:7, 49:20; Obadiah
1:9; and Amos 1:12. One of the protagonists in Job
is Eliphaz the Temanite, and 1 Chronicles refers to
Husham of the land of the Temanites.
Outside of the Bible,
it was mentioned by Ptolemy,[11] Pliny,[12]
Agatharchides,[13][14] and Josephus.[15] It was
noted as halfway
between Damascus and Mecca,
and between Babylonia and Egypt.[16] Yaqut mentions
that in the Middle Ages, it was inhabited by a
Jewish Community.[17] Nabunaid of Babylon captured
the city [18][3] and settled there until Cyrus the
Great captured the city and moved him to Carmania."

te'-ma (tema',
"south
country"; Thaiman): The name of a son
of Ishmael (Genesis
25:151
Chronicles 1:30), of the tribe descended from him (Jeremiah
25:23), and of the place where they dwelt (Job
6:19Isaiah
21:14). This last was a locality in
Arabia
which probably corresponds to the
modern Teima' (or Tayma' (see Doughty, Arabia
Deserta, I, 285)), an oasis which lies about
200 miles North of el-Medina, and some 40
miles South of Dumat el-Jandal (Dumah), now known as
el-Jauf. It is on the ancient caravan road connecting
the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Aqaba; and doubtless
the people took a share in the carrying trade (Job
6:19). The wells of the oasis still attract the
wanderers from the parched wastes (Isaiah
21:14). Doughty (loc. cit.) describes the ruins of
the old city wall, some 3 miles in circuit. An Aramaic
stele recently discovered, belonging to the 6th century
B.C., shows the influence of Assyrian article The place
is mentioned in the cuneiform inscriptions (Schrader,
KAT2, 149).
Teman references what was then
a vast region
in Arabia that encompassed the
tribes of Teman and the lands of Paran.
Both Teman and Paran are linked together in
Habakkuk 3:3.
The context encompasses both of them.
"Moses was a lawgiver, and promulgated a new code;
so did Mahomed. Jesus, on the contrary,
declared he was not come to abrogate but to "fulfill
the law;" and declared that "not a jot or little of
the law should pass away until all these things were
fulfilled." The Christian heresies have, by
their laxity and corruption, subverted the decent
observances of the law, and introduced a heathen
license; but Islam confirms and fulfills this
prophecy and ordinance completely.... But the still
greater light to be brought by Mahomed is now to be
foretold. At Isi. c. 21, v. 13-15 the Hegira
is predicted. "In the forest in Arabia shall
ye lodge ye travelling companies of Dedanim"
The whole of the tribe of Dedan, to which Obeidollah
and many other distinguished Mussulman fathers
belonged, emigrated to Medina, leaving their houses in
Mecca locked up. "The
inhabitants of the land of Tema (the
name of a son of Ishmael, and the name of the tribe
to which the Prophet's father-in-law Abueka
belonged) brought water to him that was thirsty,
they prevented with their bread him that fled."
The part of the Hijaz in which Medina is situated is
called Tema to-day, doubtless from the tribe of
Tema. The whole of the twenty-eighth of Isaiah
is a prophecy of the mission of Mahomed and of Islam
as the 'mighty and strong one,' and 'the overflowing
scourge.' * * * And here also the peculiar mode in
which the Koran was revealed, and the personal
characteristics of the Prophet, are quite literally
depicted. * * *"
GOD's burden will be upon Arabia prophecy. The same word,
"burden," was also used for monumental assigned tasks to
Prophets. So, Arabia was chosen to carry
the burden, and to bear the brunt and pain of spreading GOD
Almighty's Truth to the entire world. See
Goddess Asherah, pornography, return of the Messiah from Damascus,
Bible and Islam Prophecy for ample verses and proofs.
The Prophecy also says GOD will come from a
far southern land[1],
and from Teman and Paran
[1]
(both are in Saudi Arabia). That's precisely Islam.
Becca is Mecca in Psalm 84:6.
According to (1)
Cambridge commentary,
(2)
Jewish Encyclopedia and (3)
Encyclopedia Biblica in Arabic and other sources. Ample Jewish and
Christian references declare Becca's geography to be modern-day Mecca:
Teman and Paran:
We read this
prophecy in the
Bible:
"GOD came from
Teman
and his Holy One from
Paran"
(Habakkuk 3:3).
2-
Tema in Hebrew means the "south
country". We also know that Tema (Tayma)
is
in Saudi Arabia today, and Saudi Arabia
is indeed south of Palestine and Jordan.
3-
We also know that
Paran was Mecca
even before Islam. Even
the Christian writings in year
314 AD say Paran was Mecca. Also, the Jewish Samaritan
Pentateuch says Paran was Mecca.
4-
We also know in
Deuteronomy
18:18, GOD will send the Israelites a
Prophet from their
"brothers"
[2].
That's the Ishmaelites. Ample verses also
provided where the same word was also used for
cousins.
Isaac and Ishmael were brothers, and their sons are
cousins.
6- So
Teman here references what was then
a vast region
in Arabia that encompassed the
tribes of Teman and the lands of Paran.
Both Teman and Paran are linked together in
Habakkuk 3:3.
The context encompasses both of them.
"Moses was a lawgiver, and promulgated a new code;

During the pagan
times during Nebuchadnezzar, King Darius and others'
times, Teman was a pagan land and people. But
later, GOD Almighty's Islam and Prophet Muhammad
were to come from Teman and Paran and change Arabia
and all nations forever: [1]
Ezekiel 25
13 therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I
will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill both
man and beast. I will lay it waste, and from
Teman to Dedan they will fall by the sword.
Amos 1
12 I will send fire on Teman that will
consume the fortresses of Bozrah.”
Obadiah 1
9
Your warriors, Teman, will be terrified,
and everyone in Esau’s mountains will be cut down in the slaughter.
Then later:
Habakkuk 3
3
God came from Teman, the Holy One from Mount
Paran. His glory covered the heavens and his praise
filled the earth.
Paran:
The statement "God
came from Teman (Arabia)" is one
mighty prophecy. We know the Holy One here is Prophet Muhammad and Islam.
Jesus came from Bethlehem.
But Teman, Kedar (House of GOD will be built in the
desert of Kedar), and the destruction of idols in
Arabia are all Prophecies about Arabia,
and ONLY ISLAM
thoroughly fulfilled them [1]. Islam is the Divine Truth and future Covenant of GOD Almighty that GOD had
spoken thoroughly about throughout the Old Testament:
Prophet "AHMAD" is found in
the
Dead Sea Scrolls:
Prophet Muhammad in the previous Scriptures. Prophet
Muhammad was thoroughly foretold in the Bible, and
his Quran-prophetic Name,
"Ahmed",
was also found in the Dead Sea
Scrolls,
and it was mentioned
precisely in the
Glorious Quran for the
Prophet to be foretold
by this very Name,
Ahmed. [1]
[2]
Jesus in
Matthew 24
referenced Daniel 11. The headquarters of the
evil shepherd will be from Jerusalem to the
Mediterranean sea:
Daniel 11:45:
"(the evil one) will establish his
settlement between
Mount Zion
(Jerusalem) and the
Mediterranean sea. Then
he will be destroyed, and no one will be
able to save him."
To
all of Israel's holy toilet papers out there: This
geography is precisely evil Israel today. With
your blood, wealth, and children's blood and wealth you
plot, and fight and die for its evil cause against the
Palestinians and the rest of the Muslims; the true
believers of GOD Almighty.
9/11 was 100% an Israeli mossad and CIA job:
Thermite melted
the pillars:
Thermite causes the metal to burn wildly,
and if you pour water on it, it will be enraged even
more.
Airplanes do not carry thermite!
Thermite was used to bring down the Twin Towers on
9/11/2001 by the Israeli Mossad and CIA.
Daniel 11:45:
"(the evil one) will establish his settlement between
Mount Zion
(Jerusalem) and the
Mediterranean sea. Then
he will be destroyed, and no one will be able to save
him."
Dust blower:
Also, the
Paris
attack Israeli Mossad and CIA lie. The machine gun was a dust blower.
The terrorist shot flour or
white-dust
at the Israeli agent. Notice how the shot-agent's right arm and hand is
reaching inside to the collar. This is all after he got his brain blown
out at point blank range by the terrorist's lethal children's
nerf gun. No instant paralysis, no
instant
death, no blood, bones and flesh
splashed mess, no pain:
Also, the
following images are from the
Boston bombing Israeli Mossad and CIA
Photoshop-patch lie [1]
[2]:
Matthew 24
15 "So when you see standing in the holy place 'the abomination that causes
desolation,' spoken of through
the prophet Daniel—let
the reader understand-
16 then let those who are in Judea
(Palestinians' West Bank)
flee to the mountains.
17 Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house.
18 Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak.
My comment: Israel will be the evil
state of the anti-Christ.
Daniel's prophecy excludes Judea, and it precisely says that he will
establish his evil headquarters from
between Jerusalem and the Mediterranean sea. That's precisely
evil Israel today. Judea is in the Palestinians' West Bank. Take for
example, Jesus' birth place:
Matthew 2:1
"Now when Jesus was born in
Bethlehem of Judaea
(in the West Bank)
in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came
wise men from the east to Jerusalem,"
Habakkuk 2: GOD's future wrath upon
Israel for
"spoiling"
its neighbors and many nations.
See also:
Example of Bible verses and books about
God is against Teman (pagan Arabia), but later
"God came from Teman" [1]
and His holy one from Mecca, i.e., Islam and Prophet
Muhammad.
We read this
prophecy in the
Bible:
"GOD came from
Teman
and his Holy One from
Paran"
(Habakkuk
3:3).

About
Jesus
40 When
the
people
heard
Jesus'
words,
some of
them
said, "This
man
really
is the
Prophet
[1:21;
the
"prophet
like
Moses"
of Deut.
18:15-18]."
41
Others
said, "He
is the
Christ
[Messiah]."
Still
others
said,
"The
Christ
[Messiah]
will not
come
from
Galilee.
42 The
Scripture
says
that the
Christ
[Messiah]
will
come
from
David's
family
[offspring;
seed; 2
Sam.
7:12-16;
Ps.
89:3-4;
Is. 9:7;
55:3]
and from
Bethlehem,
the town
[village]
where
David
lived
[Mic.
5:2]."
43 So
the
people
did not
agree
with
each
other
[there
was a
division
in the
crowd]
about
Jesus.
44 Some
of them
wanted
to
arrest
[seize]
him, but
no one
was able
to touch
[lay a
hand on]
him.
They
lied:
1-
The
writers
of the
NT lied
and said
that
Jesus is
both the
Messiah
and the
Prophet.
But this
is a
lie,
because
the
Prophet
in the
OT was
to come
from
Arabia,
while
the
Messiah
was to
come
from
Bethlehem,
Palestine.
Two
different
persons
in two

For
example:
Keep in
mind
also
that the

gospels
and
books
were
written
around
80 to
300
years
after
Jesus'
departure.
Most if
not all
of the

were
already

almost
all of
the

Jesus laid on the floor, got healed, and got up and
left. He was
never

Abraham peace be upon him sent Hagar and Ishmael to
Paran:
Let us look at the following Verses: "Then God opened her
[Hagar] eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and
gave the boy a drink. God was with the boy as he grew up. He lived in the
desert and became an archer. While he was living in the Desert of Paran,
his mother got a wife for him from Egypt. At that time Abimelech and Phicol the
commander of his forces said to Abraham, "God is with you in everything you do.
(From the NIV Bible, Genesis 21:19-22)"
Hagar was an Arab. Abraham peace be upon him had Ishmael from her, who was 13
years older than Issac. After Sarah, Abraham's wife gave birth to Issac, Abraham
decided to let Hagar and her son Ishmael go. He sent to the desert of Arabia in the
region of Paran.
Then GOD Almighty promised Ishmael that from him, He will increase his numbers and make
from him a great nation, the Arab nation; "And as for Ishmael,
I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly
increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a
great nation. (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 17:20)"
The Bible clearly says that Paran is south of Sinai in Egypt; "He
said: 'The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone
forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south,
from his mountain slopes.' (From the NIV Bible,
Deuteronomy 33:2)"
Kedar came from Ishmael; "These are the names of the sons of
Ishmael, listed in the order of their birth: Nebaioth the firstborn of Ishmael, Kedar,
Adbeel, Mibsam, and Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, Hadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and
Kedemah: These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns,
and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. Kedar and Ancient
Arabs (From the NIV Bible, Genesis 25:13)" The Arabian desert region was named after Kedar.
See the second map below.
The Ishmaelites were Arabs and not Egyptians. They came from the Arabian desert; "As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan
of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with
spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.
(From the NIV Bible, Genesis 37:25)" "take them down to
Egypt" means taking them to the land of Egypt. It doesn't mean taking them
toward the south direction. When for instance you say "my house is right down
the street", it doesn't mean the house is south of the street. The house could
be on the north side. The sentence means that the house is on the street, or will be
found if the person walks in the path that you lead him to.
The point however in the above Verse is that the Ishmaelites were
not from Egypt. They came from another land. They had loaded camels and they
were heading to Egypt. Arabs used to rely heavily on camels for traveling. And
as we've seen from the above Verses regarding Ishmael and his Mother (Hagar) living in the
desert of Paran in the South, this clearly proves to us that the desert of Paran is
located in Arabia and not in Egypt, since the Ishmaelites are not Egyptians.
Mecca, Bacca and Paran:
Let me paste for you the following Verses from the Bible and the Noble Quran:
"Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose
heart are the ways of them. Who passing through the valley of Baca
make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. (From
the NIV Bible, Psalms 84:5-6)"
"The first House (of worship) appointed for men was that at Bakka
full of blessing and of guidance for all kinds of beings: In it are signs manifest; (for
example) the Station of Abraham; whoever enters it attains security; pilgrimage thereto is
a duty men owe to Allah those who can afford the journey; but if any deny faith Allah
stands not in need of any of his creatures. (The Noble
Quran, 3:96-97)"
"And God heard the voice of the lad; and the angel of God
called Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar? fear not; for God
hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. Arise, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine
hand; for I will make him a great nation. And God opened her eyes, and she saw a
well of water; and she went, and filled the bottle with water, and gave the lad drink.
And God was with the lad; and he grew, and dwelt in the wilderness, and became an
archer. And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran: and his mother
took him a wife out of the land of Egypt. (From the NIV
Bible, Genesis 21:17-21)"
More Verses on Paran:
"Then the Israelites set out from the Desert of Sinai and
traveled from place to place until the cloud came to rest in the Desert of Paran. (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 10:12)"
Here the desert of Paran means the region of Paran, which would be either at or
near Mecca.
"After that, the people left Hazeroth and encamped in the
Desert of Paran. (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 12:16)" Here the desert of Paran means the region of Paran,
which would be either at or near Mecca.
"So at the LORD's command Moses sent them out from the
Desert of Paran. All of them were leaders of the Israelites. (From the NIV Bible, Numbers 13:3)"
"These are the words Moses spoke to all Israel in the desert
east of the Jordan--that is, in the Arabah--opposite Suph, between Paran and Tophel,
Laban, Hazeroth and Dizahab. (From the NIV Bible,
Deuteronomy 1:1)"
Kaabah (the cube black building in Mecca) and Mecca:
Atharva Veda X, 2, Mantras 28 and 31
28. Whether it is built high, its walls are in a straight line or not, but God is seen in
every corner of it. He who knows the House of God, knows it because God is remembered
there.
31. This abode of the angels has eight circuits and nine gates. It is unconquerable, there
is eternal life in it and it is resplendent with Divine light.
The Ka'bah is not exactly cubical and its sides are not of the same length. The
Holy Sanctuary (Haram) of which Ka'abah is at the center remains open day and night
throughout the year and it is always filled with people praying and supplicating to Allah
(the One True God). Muslims face toward it during prayer forming circle in the Haram (Holy
House) and the circle extends out in this manner throughout the planet Earth.
The holy sanctuary (Haram) has remained unconquerable. Abraha al-Ashram, the Abbysinian
viceroy of Yemen, tried to demolish it in 570 CE with a strong army and hordes of
elephants but was prevented from entering the city (Holy precinct). The people of Makkah
had decided not to defend the Ka'bah, fled the city and took refuge in nearby hills
overlooking Ka'bah. By Allah's Command, the 'Abaabeel' (flying creatures, birds) pelted
stones at Abraha's army and decimated it, leaving them like green crops devoured by
cattle.
This incident is described in the Surah (chapter) 105 of the Qur'an. The year 570 CE is
popularly known by the Arabs as 'The year of the Elephant,' and Prophet Muhammad was born
in that year.
Paul in the book of Galatians and the most recent
Archeological Discoveries suggest that Mount Sinai is in Saudi Arabia and NOT in Egypt's
Sinai desert:
Recent archeological discoveries along with Paul's own words in Galatians 4:25 clearly
suggest that Mount Sinai is located in Saudi Arabia. This means that Paran being
south of Mount Sinai clearly means that it is the Holy City of Mecca as I showed above:
The Bible clearly says that Paran is south of Sinai in Egypt; "He
said: 'The LORD came from Sinai and dawned over them from Seir; he shone
forth from Mount Paran. He came with myriads of holy ones from the south,
from his mountain slopes.' (From the NIV Bible,
Deuteronomy 33:2)"
This verse is elaborated on further above. Now, let us
first look at Galatians 4:25, then the archeological evidence:
"Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia
and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her
children. (From the NIV Bible, Galatians 4:25)"
Why
isn't there any record of millions of Jews wandering in the desert?
There has been a lot of
speculation on the route of the Exodus and why the traditional site hasn't yielded any
archaeological evidence. After all, if two million people wander in a desert for
forty years, you'd think that at least something would be found to support it. But,
nothing at all has been unearthed in the Sinai Peninsula supporting the biblical account
of the Exodus. Various explanations for this range from the idea that it is
naturally difficult to find any archeological evidence in a desert of sand to the
explanation that the traditional site is the wrong one.
First of all, no archaeological find has ever contradicted the
Bible. Archaeology has only confirmed what the Bible says. As has been the
case with so many other things in the Bible, as archaeology progresses, they will most
certainly uncover evidence in the future. The Bible has yet to be proven wrong by
archaeology.
Second, lack of evidence doesn't mean there wasn't an Exodus.
However, this is a slippery slope since having a lack of evidence for an ice cream
factory on Jupiter doesn't mean that there is one. What we need is evidence and it
is fair to say that there should be some evidence for the wanderings of two million people
for forty years in a desert.
Third, it may be that the traditional site of Mt. Sinai is
incorrect. Gal. Gal. 4:25 says "Now this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and
corresponds to the present Jerusalem, for she is in slavery with her children."
Present theories dealing with Mt. Sinai's location have it in the Sinai Peninsula, yet the
Bible says it was in Arabia. The map to the right shows the traditionally accepted
route (in black) and the currently accepted location of Mt. Sinai. The problem is
that there has been absolutely no archaeological evidence unearthed at that site to verify
the Exodus. The route in red shows an alternate path that is consistent with Paul's
description in Gal.
4:25. This would have Mt. Sinai be in Arabia, which is now Saudi Arabia, instead
of the traditionally accepted Sinai peninsula.
In a recent book titled "In search of the Mountain of
God," by Bob Cornuke and David Halbrook (Broadman and Holman, 2000), Bob Cornuke (a
Christian) recounts his story of going into Saudi Arabia with his friend Larry Williams (a
non-Christian commodities trader). They uncovered evidence of an alternate site
where the real Mt. Sinai might be. Bob Cornuke was a police officer, swat team
member, and crime scene investigator in Southern California and is the President of
the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration (BASE) Institute BaseInstitute.org. He and
Mr. Williams have produced a video and book (available on that site) where they claim to
have found evidence in Saudi Arabia to support that Mt. Sinai is located within its
borders. Now, I must admit that this has not been verified by any
"official" archaeologists, but the video, which I have seen, does raise some
interesting possibilities.
Mr. Cornuke and Williams claim to have simply let the Bible guide
them as they attempted to locate the actual route of the Jews of the Exodus. Through
trial and error over several weeks, they followed what they believed was the route as is
laid out by the Bible and they found the items described in Exodus 13 - 19 including,
springs, a split rock, an altar, an underwater land bridge at the end of the Sinai
Peninsula where the people of Israel could have crossed, and much more. The present
location of Mt. Sinai, according to the locals in their account, is known as Jabal Al Laws
as is traditionally known by them as the mount of Moses. The Saudis have the area
fenced off with warning signs in Arabic and English telling people not to enter. If
this is so, why would the Saudis not want anyone to know about the place? It
might be because if Mt. Sinai is located in Muslim territory then one of the most holy
places of the Jewish and Christian religions it could pose serious political problems.
I must admit that this is speculative at present and it has not
been verified. But the video was compelling. Whether or not this is a valid
option is yet to be determined and it is supportive of the idea that the traditional
location of Exodus route might indeed be incorrect, as Gal. 4:25 seems
to suggest.
Christian Archeologists prove from the Bible that Mount
Sinai is in "Saudi Arabia" today:
For centuries Bible scholars and religious pilgrims have been seeking
the location of the real Mt. Sinai.Today, most people are unaware that not one piece of
hard evidence has been produced to verify thatwhat is traditionally designated at
“Mount Sinai” in the south central Sinai Peninsula is indeed thefamed mountain
of Moses and the Exodus. In fact, the only verifiable reason that the traditional site is
designated “Mount Sinai” at all is because a Roman mystic designated it and
Helena, mother of Constantine I, anointed it as the true Mount Sinai early in the 4th
century AD. (Helena also claimed she discovered the true “holy sepulchre” in
Jerusalem and the true cross of Christ.)
Several other proposed sites for the true Mount Sinai have been
suggested by biblical scholars, but thus far they have produced no archaeological evidence
to support them. If we are ever to discern a correct location for the historical events
recorded in the biblical Book of Exodus, it’s important to use the Scriptures as a
guide, just as we would use any ancient documents that have proven reliable in the past.
In the New Testament, Paul wrote in Galatians
4:25, “Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia . . .”Although some
argue that here the Roman designation of Arabia includes the Sinai Peninsula, Arabia in
Paul’s day encompassed a larger region that primarily designated the populated
regions of ancient Midian, or modern-day Saudi Arabia. As a “Hebrew of Hebrews,”
Paul’s understanding of Arabia would have been one that was consistent with Old
Testament passages like 1 Kings 10:15, 2 Chronicles 9:14, Isaiah
21:13, Jeremiah 25:24, and Ezekiel 27:21, in which Arabia is clearly identified
with the region east of the Gulf of Aqaba, where “kings” ruled and the
“Dedanites” co-dwelt with other nomadic peoples.
Even more telling, Exodus 3:1 plainly identifies
Mount Horeb (Sinai) as being in Midian: “Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro
his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the desert,
and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.” Here, there are two important issues.
First, the region of “Midian” referred to here is undeniably the same as
present-day Saudi Arabia. Second, at the traditional site of Mt. Sinai on the Sinai
Peninsula, there is nothing that would cause it to be geographically identified with the
“back” of a desert, in distinction from its surroundings. By contrast, the site
proposed by BASE Institute is, indeed, on the far side or margin of a vast desert in
ancient Midian.
However, can ancient Midian be identified with the Sinai Peninsula,
which in the time of Moses, was considered a part of Egypt (although designated as the
“wilderness” of Egypt)? It is apparent from Exodus 2:15
that the two were separate entities. After killing an Egyptian, Moses fled Egypt for safer
ground: “When Pharaoh heard of this, he tried to kill Moses,
but Moses fled from Pharaoh and went to live in Midian.” Egypt and its
holdings would not have been safe for Moses under any circumstances. He would not have
fled to the Sinai Peninsula, where archaeology shows that Pharaoh had multiple mining
interests and military outposts. The Bible is clear that Moses went out of Egypt, to the
land of Midian east of the gulf of Aqaba.
The Bible makes several references to Moses returning to Egypt from
Midian, including Exodus 4:19 where we read, “Now the Lord had said to Moses in Midian, ‘Go back to Egypt,
for all the men who wanted to kill you are dead.” All passages associated with
Moses’ stay in Midian point toward present-day Saudi Arabia as the area to which
Moses fled, subsequently met God at the burning bush, and then returned with the children
of Israel.
Because so many Bible references as well as archaeological evidence (or
the lack of it) pointed away from traditional Mount Sinai and toward Saudi Arabia as the
location of the historical mountain of Moses, a site inspection was necessary to determine
if other evidence could be found to support this theory. Saudi Arabia’s closed
borders made it impossible for a team of scholars and archaeologists to enter the country.
As a result, Larry Williams and I surreptitiously slipped into the country, traced what
appears to be the Exodus route, and climbed the mountain which many scholars now consider
to be the true Mount Sinai.
What follows is a condensed account of our adventures, our
findings, and how these relate directly to the Bible.
RED SEA CROSSING SITE In 1 Kings 9:26, the
Bible tells us, “King Solomon also built ships at Ezion Geber,
which is near Elath in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.” This verse provides
us with some compelling clues. First, Solomon had his port at Elath (modern Eilat) on the
shores of the northern tip of the Gulf of Aqaba (which forms the eastern
“finger” of the Red Sea proper). The NIV Study Bible references this verse as
follows: “Red Sea. The Hebrew for this term, normally read as Yam Suph (‘sea of
reeds’), refers to the body of water through which the Israelites passed at the time
of the Exodus. It can also be read, however, as Yam Soph (‘sea of land’s
end’), a more likely reading when referring to the Red Sea, and especially . . . to
its eastern arm, the Gulf of Aqaba.”
This could well mean that the “sea of land’s end,” at the
tip of the Sinai Peninsula, was the site of the Israelites’ crossing. At the very
least, the use of the same Hebrew term both for the place where the Israelites crossed and
for the Gulf of Aqaba at Elath shows that the body of water in question is not an isolated
lake, but includes the bulk of what we know as the Red Sea.
BITTER LAKES: Many scholars
suggest that the actual crossing of the “sea of reeds” was in the Bitter Lakes
region, north of the Gulf of Suez, where some observers have claimed that wind can cause
the lake level to fluctuate several feet. However, this simply is not consistent with
numerous other Biblical references, including the account of an entire, Egypt-engulfing
locust swarm being blown into Yam Suph (Exodus 10:19),
Solomon sailing a fleet of ships on Yam Suph (1 Kings 9:26),
and the description of the way in which Pharaoh’s soldiers died at Yam Suph: “But You blew with your breath, and the sea covered them. They sank
like lead in the mighty waters” (Exodus 15:10).
The Bitter Lakes region is a marsh with no mighty waters. At the tip of the Sinai
Peninsula, however, at the entrance of the Gulf of Aqaba, the “mighty waters” of
the Red Sea can reach incredible fury and awesome depths.
TRADITIONAL MOUNT SINAI: Having
visited the traditional Mount Sinai in the southern Sinai Peninsula, I have seen first
hand that the only place the Israelites could possibly have camped was a small, flat
valley area adjacent to the mountain, allowing for only about one square yard per person
(assuming that roughly 2 million people were involved in the Exodus). And despite
extensive archeological investigation throughout the region, nothing has ever been found
that can conclusively be tied to the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt - or can even argue
for a large population of people ever occupying the area.
UNDERWATER LAND BRIDGE:
Following a theory that the route of the Exodus actually took the Hebrews past (not
through) the bitter Lakes and then southward along the west coast of the Sinai Peninsula,
we traveled to the tip of the Sinai and explored the underwater topography (bathymetry) of
the Strait of Tiran, where the Gulf of Aqaba is narrowest between the Sinai Peninsula and
Saudi Arabia. There we found that an underwater land bridge exists that today is so
problematic for shipping that two separate routes or “lanes” are designated for
northbound and southbound ships to pass through. Further correlation of the Bible’s
account of the route of the Exodus causes us to realize that this unusual submarine
formation may well have been trod by the Hebrews themselves.
BITTER SPRINGS OF MARAH: Exploring
the further possibility that the Israelites passed through the waters of the Red Sea at
the Strait of Tiran, we picked up our search for landmarks on the Saudi Arabia side of the
Gulf of Aqaba. There we started at the coastline on the eastern side of the Strait of
Tiran and traveled the most natural route approximately 30 kilometers inland to a group of
springs, where the water in some of the springs was terribly bitter. Exodus
15:22-23 tells us, “So Moses brought Israel from the Red
Sea; then they went out into the wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the
wilderness and found no water. Now when they came to Marah, they could not drink the
waters of Marah, for they were bitter.”
THE 70 PALMS AND 12 SPRINGS OF ELIM: As we traveled generally toward Jabal al Lawz (the Saudi Arabian mountain that is
held by generations of Bedouins to be the mountain of Moses), we next encountered a group
of clear water springs, with a grove of palm trees adjacent to them. We marveled at the
description in Exodus 15:27: “Then they came to Elim, where
there were twelve wells of water and seventy palm trees; so they camped there by the
waters.”
CAVES OF MOSES: While at
the springs, we discovered that some nearby caves were being excavated by Saudi
archaeologists. A worker at the site said that writings found in the caves indicated that
the prophet Musa (Moses) had come through this area with his nation of Hebrews.
CHARRED PEAK AND MELTED ROCK: Continuing
to Jabal al Lawz, and after a great deal of maneuvering to gain access to the mountain, we
found the top of the mountain to be thoroughly blackened, as if the rocks had been
severely scorched from without. When we broke open the rocks, we found that they were
actually granite rocks with a blackened “rind” and an untouched core of pure
granite inside. We had already read in Exodus 19:18, “Now Mount
Sinai was completely in smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire . . . .”
BOUNDARY MARKERS: As we
explored further around the base of the mountain, we discovered large piles of rocks
arranged in a semicircle around the front of the mountain, spaced about every 400 yards.
Measuring about five feet high and 20 feet across, these piles could be the boundary
markers set up by Moses, as he had been instructed by God: “. .
. You warned us saying, ‘set bounds around the mountain and consecrate it’”
(Exodus 19:23).
GOLDEN CALF ALTAR: In a
flat area at the base of the mountain we also discovered that large boulders had been
placed together, creating an altar-like formation 30 feet tall and 30 feet across - quite
possibly the altar where the golden calf was set up and worshiped by God’s
disobedient people. On the rocks were etched ancient drawings of a bull god, as described
in Exodus 32:4, where Aaron “. . . received the gold from the
hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf.”

MOSES' ALTAR and the 12 PILLARS: At the foot of the mountain we found a V-shaped altar, with each arm
approximately 60 feet long and 20 feet wide. Next to it were several toppled pillars in
sections measuring about 22 inches in diameter and 20 inches in length. Exodus 24:4 records that Moses “. . . built an altar at the foot of
the mountain, and twelve pillars according to the twelve tribes of Israel.”
SPLIT ROCK AT HOREB:(Full credit for verification and documentation of the
split rock at Horeb goes to Jim and Penny Caldwell, who conducted their research while
living in Saudi Arabia.) One of the most startling discoveries at Jabal al Lawz
was a massive, prominent, split rock on the west side of Jabal al Lawz, which showed
evidence of gushing water from within - jagged rocks that had been smoothed off by an
abundant flow of water. Exodus 17:6 records God’s
instructions to Moses when the Israelites were dying of thirst in the wilderness: “Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you
shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink.”
CAVE OF ELIJAH: High on the mountain was a cave by which Elijah may have stood to hear God’s
voice, as described in 1 Kings 19:18b, 13b: “. . . and he went
. . . as far as Horeb, the mountain of God . . . . and he went out and stood in the
entrance of the cave . . . .”
This expedition yielded the first of a wealth of
compelling new evidence, to suggest that the Strait of Tiran on the Gulf of Aqaba was the
crossing point for the route of the Exodus, and that Jabal al Lawz in Saudi Arabia is the
true Mount Sinai.
The real significance in all this is that the Bible again
has apparently been shown to be true, reliable, and accurate, down to the smallest
historical detail. Critics who claim that the Bible does not coincide with known
history and geography are again shown to be wrong once the physical evidence begins to
surface. The account in the Bible is true, and the implications are incredible.
God descended on Mount Sinai in flames like a furnace. He
spoke to Moses and gave him the Ten Commandments as the laws for the life of Israel. He
communicated His love and mercy through the laws for sacrifice and atonement. And though
we are unworthy, He gave us the opportunity to enter into a personal, caring relationship
with the Eternal Father.
The exploits of the BASE Institute team may sound like a
treasure hunt to others, but a more important adventure awaits those who would seek out
the treasures of the Word of God. The Bible reveals His plan for reconciliation - and the
most important discovery any of us can ever make is how to begin a personal relationship
with Jesus Christ. This is the best adventure.
Muhammad in the Bible, (Isaiah 60), Pilgrimage to
Mecca..!
Deuteronomy 18:18: GOD will send the Israelites a
Prophet from their "brothers" [2].
That's the Ishmaelites! Ample verses provided
where the same word was also used for cousins.
Prophet
Muhammad, peace be upon him, claimed that the stone was sent down by
Allah Almighty to Prophet Abraham and his son Ishmael, peace be upon
both of them, to give the precise location of where the Kaaba was to
be built by them. We believe that Prophets Abraham and
Ishmael built
the
Kaaba. Western
Scientists
have confirmed that the black stone,
which resides near the
Kaaba in the Holy City of Mecca, is
an outside METEORITE OBJECT!
**** Prophet Muhammad forbade us from worshiping any stone!
****
The black
stone and the Kaaba are not objects of worship in Islam!

Here are some examples from the 1000s of stunning Numerical and Scientific Miracles in the Glorious Quran. Allah Almighty also promised in several Divine Prophecies that He will show the Glorious Quran's Miracles to mankind:
1- The root letters for "message" and all of its derivatives occur
513times throughout the Glorious Quran. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the Prophets' and Messengers' actual names (Muhammad, Moses, Noah, Abraham, Lot etc....) were also all mentioned 513 times in the Glorious Quran. The detailed breakdown of all of this is thoroughly listed here. This Miracle is covered in 100s (hundreds) of Noble Verses.
2- Allah Almighty said that Prophet Noah lived for
950 years. Yet, all Praise and Glory are due to Allah Almighty Alone, the entire Noble Surah (chapter Noah) is exactly written in 950 Letters. You can thoroughly see the accurate count in the scanned images.
