Akin For The Truth

We mentioned in the last chapter that it was when Moses was in Midian that he encountered God at Mt. Horeb (Mt. Sinai). So, according to the Bible, we should be looking there, not all the way down at the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula.    As it can be seen on most ancient maps, and as is well attested historically by such as Philo, Josephus and others, the land of Midian was in Arabia, with, along its west border, the Gulf of Aqaba (Red Sea). This is where Moses first settled after fleeing Egypt, and then encountered God at Mt. Horeb (Sinai), and where he brought Israel directly after crossing the Red Sea.   And Paul in Galatians tells us in Galatians 4:25, as we will discuss later, that Sinai is in Arabia.   For more information and sources you could check out http://akinforthetruth.net.
