Patterns of Evidence: Journey to Mount Sinai Part 1 & 2
Investigative filmmaker Timothy Mahoney has been searching for the true location of Mount Sinai for over 20 years. The Bible records that at Sinai God made a covenant with Moses and the Israelites, and gave them the ten commandments. While the majority of scholars continue to favor locating Mount Sinai at the traditional site of Jebel Musa (the mountain of Moses) in the southern Sinai Peninsula, many believe the lack of evidence there is good reason to question that thinking. Other scholars question whether these events happened at all.
In recent decades, more than a dozen Mount Sinai candidates have been proposed as the correct site. Modern-day Exodus Explorers believe compelling evidence for the Israelites’ time at Mount Sinai can be found in Saudi Arabia at a mountain known as Jabal al Lawz.
Mahoney uses the trusted Patterns-of-Evidence approach and the new Mount Sinai Scorecard to investigate six of the most popular locations proposed for Mount Sinai. Examining details for five major criteria in the biblical account compared to geographical and archaeological information, he sets out to pin-point the mountain’s true location. Journey to Mount Sinai is a 2-part film series that picks up the exploration of the Exodus where the Red Sea Miracle films left off. Each film will examine three of the primary candidates.
Can Mahoney find the mountain where Moses encountered the burning bush and where multitudes of Israelites camped for nearly a year?
Begin your own biblical investigation into the true location of Mount Sinai with the free Mount Sinai Scorecard! Prior to viewing the film, download and print the scorecard which allows you to rate each of the six Mount Sinai candidates (three in film 1 and three in film 2) for the primary search criteria derived from the Bible. The interior of the Scorecard doubles as a Bible study tool as you and your family familiarize yourself with what the Bible says about Mount Sinai before you even enter the theater. A map of the region showing the six main mountain candidates is also included.
Now you can follow along with the investigation, filling out the scorecard during the film. At the end of the process, the pattern for each mountain will reveal which location you believe matches the biblical account best.
Director Tim Mahoney comments, “I believe this interactive approach of using the Mount Sinai Scorecard will open up a whole new level of engagement for the viewer and their faith, as they use their Bible to evaluate the evidence being presented for each Mount Sinai candidate.”
