The Knockers Church of God wants you to know that they know EXACTLY how things went down when the Israelites fled from Egypt. This is from their latest article
THE REAL ACCOUNT and ROUTE OF ISRAEL COMING OUT OF EGYPT
"Moses married one of Jethro’s daughters, Zipporah. Many claim Moses married an Ethiopian woman which is false. We can be sure that Moses never married a Negro or a Nuba. It’s true, he had married a non-Israelite, but she was a descendant of Abraham, therefore was white, and closely related (Acts 7:29)."
God forbid if Moses had married a black woman!
"Please take note of Psalms 105:37 There was not one feeble to be found amongst the 12 tribes of Israel fleeing Egypt. Also they tended to live longer in those days, e.g. Moses was 120 years old.
Imagine being slaves for over 400 years with generations being born and dying. Yet, through it all there are absolutely NO feeble men and women. No elderly that need assistance. No small children who cannot walk for miles on end every day. All strong, healthy, virile macho men and amazon women.
At his death his sight had not dimmed Deut. 34:7. Remember this was just 900 years after Noah’s Great Flood. The Israelites were very fit, and marched, having greater vitality and strength. Wish I could say that of Israel’s descendants today."
"Exodus13:18—“. . . the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.”
The term harnessed indicates that they went out, not as an unruly mob of fleeing fugitives, but as a well organised body. The Hebrew word “Chamushim” is translated “harnessed” and means “in ranks.” Therefore Israel marched with military precision in ranks of five.
Have they ever wondered how 3,000,000 people could be gathered together on short notice, load up all their belongings, gather their spoils of the Egyptians, march out of Egypt with all their animals, elderly, and children in a matter of hours so they can set up camp to keep the first day of Unleavened Bread? They seem to assume that the second the first person started walking away from Egypt that every single other person started moving at the same time. That is an impossibility. Most Armstrongites never think about that.
"The Egyptians had watch posts all through the Sinai Peninsula. It is documented that they flashed messages from tower to tower by day and night, using reflected light. Perhaps this is how Pharaoh knew exactly where the escaped slaves had gone."
"The crossing site is 12 miles long, and miraculously, by the Great God’s design, has an underwater bridge dividing the two deeps. The crossing site is 800–900 metres or 866-975 yards wide, and it descends and ascends on the Saudi side with a 6-7 degree slope. One km further along the coast, the descending approaches 40 degrees. British hydrographic maps illustrate this.
The British Admiralty charts show that the Gulf of Aqaba is like a deep trench, and across that deep trench is a raised area—at the very place the remains"
Did you know that the
Red Sea Gulf of Aqaba actually FROZE solid on both sides of the Israelites?
"I have been soundly ridiculed by ministers in God’s Church in the past, for suggesting that Almighty God actually froze the waters of the Red Sea. The evidence is there; for God plainly says, He congealed the waters. Now how does one congeal water? What happens? How could you congeal water (salt water at that)?
The Dictionary defines CONGEALED as “to change from a fluid to a solid or rigid state.”
Strongs Concordance says CONGEAL “to shrink, thicken as in curdled milk or frozen water.”
When the waters were parted by a wind from the East; the Bible says that they were congealed. This word congealed"
"4. These walls of water (ice) stood firm for hours until every Hebrew was safely on the opposite shore, and then crashed down when every Egyptian pursuer was on the sea bed.
5. The sand was also frozen hard to assist wheels of heavily laden, Israelite carts to move along the sea floor. It must have been like concrete. Pharaoh started his pursuit in the morning watch (6-9 am). By 10 am the hot sun was melting the walls and sand on the sea floor; so that the Egyptian chariot wheels would break through the melting, sand floor into ruts and fall off, slowing them down."
"On the sea floor there are two lines of stones with a wide, stone-cleared pathway between them, extending into the crystal clear water! They were dead straight along the edge on both sides. Could it be that Moses had a large team of strong, tough ex-slaves (his “rock group”) going on ahead, tossing the stones out of the way to smooth the pathway for the multitude?"
What this Knockers minister is doing is quoting the material from Seventh Day Adventist Ron Wyatt. Wyatt was a wanna-be archaeologist that claimed to have found Noah's Ark, the Ark of the Covenant and the remains of the Egyptians that pursued the Israelites out of Egypt and more. If I have the correct person, he even came and spoke in the Auditorium in Pasadena and brought wood that he claimed was from the ark Armstrongism bought into his lunacy lock stock and barrel. His so called research had been debunked for decades.
His work has been debunked thoroughly by professional archaeologists
and respected biblical scholars. On August 8, 1996, Joe Zias, Curator of
Anthropology/Archaeology with the Israel Antiquities Authority
(Jerusalem), issued the following statement:
“Mr. Ron Wyatt is neither an archaeologist nor has he ever carried
out a legally licensed excavation in Israel or Jerusalem. In order to
excavate one must have at least a BA in archaeology which he does not
possess despite his claims to the contrary. We are aware of his claims
which border on the absurd as they have no scientific basis whatsoever
nor have they ever been published in a professional journal. They fall
into the category of trash which one finds in tabloids such as the National Enquirer, Sun, etc. It’s amazing that anyone would believe them…” (http://www.tentmaker.org/WAR/Zias.html).

Ron Wyatt: Colossal Fraud
A Great Christian Scam
ARCHEOLOGY WITH RON WYATT: a personal account
Amateur archeologist Ron Wyatt is known for making sensational claims
regarding alleged discoveries of Biblical sites and artifacts.
Here
are just a few of his most amazing discoveries: The true site of the
crucifixion; the Ark of the Covenant; the true Mount Sinai (with a
plaque announcing it as such); the site of Korah's earthquake; the true
site of the Israelites' Red Sea crossing also with a marker 'built by
King Solomon' as a memorial; Chariot wheels from Pharaoh's drowned army;
the actual rock Moses struck to release water; the ashen remains of
Sodom and Gomorrah; Noah's Ark; Noah's grave; Noah's house; Mrs. Noah's
grave; Moses' stone tablets containing the Ten Commandments, held
together with golden hinges.
Wyatt claims were so fanciful and
plentiful, it would seem logical to ask Ron if he had yet unearthed
Jesus' High School diploma. Wyatt most bizarre discovery has to be when
he claimed to have found the blood of Christ, and a DNA analysis of that
blood indicates Christ was born of a virgin.
Although it took
several years for reality to set in, most Christian ministries have
finally come to disavow Wyatt's work. About the only true believers
remaining are ones that continue to financially benefit from promoting
his videos.
Ron was either a fabricator or he was delusional,
but whatever the case may be, he was clearly one of the greatest frauds
the field of Bible prophecy has ever seen. Wyatt's years of research may
amount to nothing more than garbage, however, he did help prove that
some Christians are limitless in their gullibility. Ron Wyatt
