JU5-9: More Evidence That Mount Sinai Is NOT Located Where Christians Say It’s Located

“Adonai, when you went out from Seir,
when you marched out from the field of Edom”
-Judges 5:4

In verse 4 of Judges Chapter 5, Devorah sings about the Lord coming out from Seir in Edom.

Let’s talk about this for a second because there’s alway been this fascinating connection between the Lord and territory of Mount Seir located in Edom.

The area Edom should not be unfamiliar to us for two reasons.

FIRST, it was the territory where Jacob’s twin brother Esau ended up settling.

SECOND, the location of Mount Sinai is said to be in the region of Seir.

Here’s a verse from the Torah substantiating this.

“ADONAI came from Sinai; from Seir he dawned on his people, shone forth from Mount Paran; and with him were myriads of holy ones; at his right hand was a fiery law for them.”-Deuteronomy 33:2

I think this is important to bring up because it serves as another strong piece of corroborating evidence that Mount Sinai is indeed located on the western tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

That’s right homies.

I’m saying the Christian idea which took hold around 350 A.D. that says Mount Sinai is located on the tip of the Sinai Peninsula where St. Katherine’s Monastery was built is a freakin’ FALSEHOOD!

Every shred of biblical and archaeological evidence shows that Mount Sinai is located in the western regions of the Arabian Peninsula.

And the locations of both Seir and Edom are situated smack dab in the northwestern tip of the Arabian Peninsula.

We’ve just read the verse in Devorah’s song dating all the way back to the 12th century BC clearly stating that Mount Sinai lies in the direction of Edom.

So there!

CONNECTING THIS TEACHING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT

“Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia
and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem,
because she is in slavery with her children.”
