Re: More on Gulf of Aqaba

Damn, these guys are stupid!
We all know what a mighty force of rushing water can do, don't we? Think of the enormity of the return. . We don't know whether there was an equal volumn on the North as on the South, or just how this all happened. At any rate, it would likely be the force of a great back and forth tsunami, especially if one side returned first and the other overlapped it. Likely there was extensive erosion, particularly in the middle deeper area. This plus possible earth quakes at some time, shipping and currents may have changed the topography of the sandbar area of the Gulf from what it was millenniums ago when the alleged Exodus took place.

Re: Some comments on the use of gold as an anti-foulant
If (I say if) there was a gold gilted one, perhaps it would have been from Pharoah's royal chariot. If there was indeed one, perhaps some diver since, having wind of it, has removed and scrapped it for it's value as they might be in legal trouble if they announced it's removal.

If I'm not sure about a questionable aspect, I use those terms. Some things are that way. Relative to some evidences like regathered Israel and some of the corroborative evidences relative to the Exodus I don't use those terms. Some things are valid evidence and others are maybes, just as it is with QM, String, evolution and BB theory.

Re: Heaps of Jeeps.
And given the thousands of chariots and tens of thousands of soldiers that Pharaoh sent after the Israelites (they weren't Jews until after the founding of Judea) who were all drowned in the sea, there should be heaps and piles of chariot wheels, cabs, axles, reins, swords, armor, and tons of other military gear, not just "the few questionable ones claimed". By your very own criterion for credibility, Buz, where's the evidence of heaps and piles of this stuff?
I may be mistaken but I don't think there were thousands of chariots. Most of it would have been buried, rotted or swept into deeper waters. It would be nice if undersea excavation were allowed, but it's a major shipping lane. No doubt there would be an abundance of evidence. I believe the one's photographed were in the more relative shallow water nearer to the shores

Re: Observing the Evidence.
Huntard, get a passport, go and see the route, look at the beach, hire a diver and look in the water, risk you life and go ashore on the other side, view the column, look at the split rock and the water wash, check out for oasiss in the region, check out the geography as to where Midian was, oh, I forgot. Have a look at the photographed bull inscriptions near the bottom of the burnt mountain, get back to us and report if the evidence is as I have described and if it matches the Biblical account. Thanks in advance, be careful to stay alive and enjoy the trip! Buz

Techy Evidence
Perhaps it's time to move on to some more of the corroborating evidences of the veracity of the Biblical record; prophecies relative to modern technology.
Prophet John; NT; you read it first in your Bible; technology of television prophesied 2 milleniums before the fact:
Revelation 11 (ASV)
7 And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them. 8 And their dead bodies lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified. 9 And from among the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations do men look upon their dead bodies three days and a half, and suffer not their dead bodies to be laid in a tomb. 10 And they that dwell on the earth rejoice over them, and make merry; and they shall send gifts one to another; because these two prophets tormented them that dwell on the earth.
11 And after the three days and a half the breath of life from God entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon them that beheld them. 12 And they heard a great voice from heaven saying unto them, Come up hither. And they went up into heaven in the cloud; and their enemies beheld them. 13 And in that hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell; and there were killed in the earthquake seven thousand persons: and the rest were affrighted, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

Re: Techy Evidence, Etc
Peg writes:
i think you are taking it a bit far to say that prophecy in Rev is refering to televisions
I can see why you might put it to television, but i dont believe that's got anythign to do with televisions.
OK Peg, since you too are a skeptic on this one I see I need to corroborate up some support for this prophetic techy stuff. We now go to the same book, Revelation, three chapters ahead to 13. Here we see this same terminology.
This ten horned beast we read about depicts 10 kings who rule as kings in the latter days before Armageddon. We know that the ten horns of the beast are ten rulers because they are interpreted in chapter 17 as such where this same 10 horned beast is further described. This is the final world class empire before Armageddon. What does the text say about this beast global empire?
1) verses 3. 4:
and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?
The whole world wonders after and worships the beast.
2) Verse 4:
and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority.
The beast gets it's power from the dragon which, according to the previous chapter (12) is Satan
3. Verses 7, 8:
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain.
NOTE the same terminology, "tribe people, tongue and nation" worships the beast. Next we learn how this will be enforced.
Now we come to the really interesting and phenomenal part of this great prophecy: A 2nd beast having 2 horns appears who exercises all of the power of the empire beast. This guy fits all of requirements of the anti-christ who is allied with the beast. This guy will likely be the Secretary General type of the UN world body, wether it be that arrangement or some rendition of what it is.
What does this one who operates on behalf of the global empire do? (Btw, likely his two horns depict (A) his religious nature ("poses as a lamb") and (B) political authority of the empire ("speaks like a dragon").
1) Verse 12:
And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast,
He is the one who enforces worshp to the global emire beast.
2) Verses 14, 15:
14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived. 15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image to the breast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Here it is, Peg, et al. Read carefully and thoughtfully. The empire has made/manufactured/built (whatever terminology you want to use) a speaking image which all of the nations tribes and tongues are forced to worship or be killed.
Now put on your thinking caps on, class, and tell me how the government could enforce all of the nations tribes and tongues and tongues to worship a speaking image?
3) CLUE: Verse 16, 17:
16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.
There you have your corrobrating support, my friends, Peg, et al, for this terminology every tribe tongue and nation being global and the techy support of the speaking image, your TV and your up and coming global monetary system of marks and numbers which is emerging on our planet as we type.
This is modern techy, forknown by Jehovah, god of the Bible which he inspired via his Holy Spirit, prophets (John in particular here) to write in order that when the time came we, on the planet may give Jehovah and Jesus his son glory, honor and praise and that we may interpret the past, understand the present and know what lies ahead.
Revelation chapter 11 American Standard Version (ASV)
1 and he stood upon the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns, and seven heads, and on his horns ten diadems, and upon his heads names of blasphemy. 2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his throne, and great authority. 3 And I saw one of his heads as though it had been smitten unto death; and his death-stroke was healed: and the whole earth wondered after the beast; 4 and they worshipped the dragon, because he gave his authority unto the beast; and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? And who is able to war with him? 5 and there was given to him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and there was given to him authority to continue forty and two months. 6 And he opened his mouth for blasphemies against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, even them that dwell in the heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation. 8 And all that dwell on the earth shall worship him, every one whose name hath not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that hath been slain. 9 If any man hath an ear, let him hear. 10 If any man is for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
11 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived. 15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image to the breast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name. 18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.
It's important to understand the above relative to the global Islamic phenomena emerging rapidly. Mohammed who wrote the Quran & his successor apostles who wrote the Sunnahs and Haddith, regarded by Islam equal to the Quran, advocated global Jehadist global fatah, if you wll, which demands that Islam was/is to become the global religion submitting (meaning of Islam) nation, tribe and tongue to Islam.
It is significant, relative to the above prophecy that this emerging global empire will be religious requiring every tribe, tongue and nation to worship a speaking image.
Go, figure, my friends. We have this phenomenal global upsurging religon, Islam which requires five times daily prayer at a time when all of the other corroborating end time prophecies are coming into fruition,
Simultaneous to the Islamic global socialistic revolution if you will we just happen to have this speaking image which can be placed in mosques, homes, factories, farms, etc, which have two way in/out capability to monitor every nation, tribe and tongue so as to enforce mandatory worship to the Islamic god, Allah.
Simultaneously to the above, the most powerful nation on the planet, having the most powerful military now has a stealth Islamic born and Islamic upreared president who, according to Islamic law, is officially a Muslim who advocates a socialist and global agenda, undermining our traditional nationalist spirit.
It is a fact that the UN global body has increasingly favored Islamic block nations and undermined Islams enemies, Israel and the US in spite of the fact that the US is it's biggest contributer.
Anyhow, supportive techy prophecies and food for thought.
Buz prophecy: Oct, 2007 when it appeared Hillary was it for the Dems, according to the pundants: Obama will likely become president. Result: fulfilled.
Buz prophecy: Mar 17, 2010: Globalistic minded President Obama will become Secretary General of the UN, will unite the nations, will effect a peace treaty between Israel and the Palestinians, favorable to the Palestinians who will get East Jerusalem, particularly the Temple Mount, will undermine the soverignty of the US by tanking the US $$ and expanding a socialistic agenda. A Russian, Eastern Europe and Islamic block coalition of nations will emerge on the global scene as the major world powers as US pre-eminence wanes. We'll see.
