Travelers from all over the world visit the mountain Jabal al-Lawz in northwest Saudi Arabia to see what I believe, personally, is Mount Sinai. There are many Scriptural reasons I could give for this location, but whether you agree with me or not as to Sinai’s location, what is certain is Sinai’s significance.
Mt. Sinai, pictured above with its charred summit (where God physically touched down; no wonder it is still scorched after thousands of years!), was the very spot where God presented Himself to His people, the newly-freed Israelites, as their Bridegroom. The Father; the Almighty One; the Alpha and Omega personally came down to the mountain and invited His people to a level of power and intimacy with Him never before experienced by any people group on the earth up to this moment. What is all this about? What was He up to? How does the New Testament account of the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2) relate to Sinai and God’s wedding ceremony with His people?
Buckle in for this one; it’s a good podcast! I preached this message on Pentecost Sunday, 2022, at The Well in beautiful Los Osos, California. You can watch the message on The Well’s YouTube channel here.
