Ron Wyatt's astounding finds continue to be corroborated by independent eyewitnesses and professionals in an array of disciplines, with new evidence coming out all the time. Such discoveries have the potential to revolutionize world politics (hence his smearing). The question is: Could the discoveries of relics from the miraculous events described in the Torah incite a revival among Israelites leading them to reinstitute the old covenant in open defiance of God, as per Jeremiah 31.31-34 (cf. Mat.26.28 & Heb 8.6-13), bringing back the Levitcal laws and building a temple/tabernacle for their much-sought "messiah"?

According to Yeshua HaMoschiach works would replace grace and there would be a temple/tabernacle set up and Sabbath-keeping during the time of antichrist, before tribulation begins:

Matthew 24.15-21: "When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the **sabbath day**: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be."

Though Ron Wyatt did indeed discover and provided proof of the ancient remains of nearly all the biggest wonders of the Torah, he taught that the mark of the beast would be a Sunday law - but does that square with what Yeshua himself warned about? (i.e., strict Sabbath enforcement before his return?) The Apostles at the Jerusalem Council c. 48 CE declared by the Ruach HaKodesh that such laws were succeeded by grace (Acts Ch. 15). Hebrew Ch. 4 also shows how the Sabbath rest, like the rest in the promised land, was a foreshadow of the ultimate rest in Yeshua.

Yeshua said numerous times to not be deceived. No matter how wondrous the signs are, only the signs he gave are the ones to signal his true return to gather his people, for he tries you to see who is faithful until the end.

All comments are welcome as long as they are civil or intelligent (i.e., deals rationally with the empirical data rather than ignorant strawmen).]

"'Christian scientists..best example of a oxymoron"

Ah the shining example of ignorant atheist mythology. Nearly all modern science was founded by Christians my benighted friend (Newton Maxwell Faraday Copernicus Planck Galileo Mendel Linnaeus Kepler Boyle Ray Bacon Kelvin Leibniz Pascal Pasteur Boyd). You wouldn't even be on a pc right now spewing your garbage if it wasn't for your little "oxymoron." Atheists are thankless leeches of science mindlessly attacking the very fountainhead of it.

[theodorichen]

Also, doesnt it make it less of a miracle if it can happen naturally, lol

[AllOtherNamesUsed]

@theodoriche if it didn't happen in nature, how could it be used as a witness to the Isrealites? Miracles take place in nature to demonstrate control over it to prove a Higher Power exists, how else could you? lol. That's the whole idea behind all the wonders of the Exodus story and scientists investigating the story are finding all the evidence one would expect plus some surprises. Atheist zealots freak out subconsciously realizing they're delusional so they spew out myths, curse & get blocked.

[rgmartin2003]

Sounds easy enough...they should then re-create this "strong persistent wind" event using wind generators to generate 63 mph winds running those machines for 12 hours non stop....let's see if this parts the red sea or any sea for that matter...LOL

[AllOtherNamesUsed]

@rgmartin2003 sure, easy enough, got the funds? Similar phenomena happens at times called "wind setdown." BTW, the original Hebrew is Yam Suph, not Red Sea, that was a later interpretation, even then it could include the Gulf of Aqaba, which happens to have a underwater land bridge perfect for walking across. But now that you mention it, let's also re-create macro-evolution and turn a frog into a prince. Talk about LOL.

[theartjunkie]

Sure, there can be an 'explanation' for the phenomena. But what are the odds, chances, and/or statistical probabilities that this was to happen at the precise moment where Moses was leading the slaves out of Egypt & called upon God for help? The very fact that it happened in that precise moment in time, alone, makes this even more of a miraculous occurrence. God didn't give us science in order to disprove His work, but to further appreciate its splendor & perfection.

[ChristianPainter]

Fascinating. This sounds very plausible. However there is much more evidence that supports the Bible besides what has been described here. Names, places and events that are described in the Bible are verified again and again by modern discoveries and contemporary scources. Even if this turns out not to be true, it would in no way shake my faith in the inerrancy of God's word.

[ShadePanther]

This is great scientific proof of the Biblical account of crossing the Red Sea. How can people doubt the Bible, when there is scientific proof like this? Non believers are like the Egyptians, who were shown many miracles from Moses, but did not believe until their first born sons were killed in the final miracle. Non believers today will close their eyes to the truth, until they see the rapture, but then it will be too late for them. They must open their hearts and minds before they too parish.

@kennegun TVs would've been called magic 300 years ago out of ignorance. The founders of our modern science were men who took the scriptures serious and their investigations into it led to the technology we have today and atheists leech off of while trying to stop more investigations into the bible calling it magic out of sheer ignorance. The proof is in the pudding, but emotionally, atheists don't like it.

[kennegun]

@AllOtherNamesUsed I concede. I cannot argue with your flawless logic. You've convinced me that magic really is responsible for creation. Sir, I humbly bow to your wit.

[AllOtherNamesUsed]

@kennegun and where does tin foil hat fit into your red herring one-liner? You apparently think the Torah is an enormous conspiracy perpetrated by an entire nation passed on to their children all at once which still persists to this day among Jews around the world. So excuse me while I laugh in your face! lol!
