💭 Some of the most fascinating sites in biblical history are believed to be in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, including Mount Sinai, where Moses heard from God.

Today, the area deep in the northwest corner of the Saudi desert is more populated by camels than people, but if Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has his way, this area rich in biblical history could soon be lost to a major development project.

The heir to the Saudi throne recently announced the region as the site of his new $500 billion megacity, which might one day house up to nine million people and re-think everything about how people live, work and play.

The project is touted as the most modern, forward-thinking, and climate-friendly city in the world, but few people are aware of the deep biblical history of the area. Those who are aware wonder if the planned mega-project will help or harm the historic value of the region.

Andrew Jones has been studying biblical archaeology for more than a decade. CBN News followed him on a week-long adventure to some fascinating Biblical sites – places almost everyone has read about but few ever get to see.

He believes Mount Sinai is actually located in Saudi Arabia, very close to the proposed site of their new mega-city.

“The biggest issue is that Moses, when he was taking care of Jethro’s flocks, and he had fled Egypt and lived in the land of Midian,” Jones said. “The land of Midian is in the north of Saudi Arabia. There is no archaeological evidence for Midian in the Sinai peninsula. And it was on one of those days when he was out with the flocks that it says he went to the Mountain of God. And in Exodus, it says ‘he saw a burning bush on Mount Sinai’…So then you’ll realize that Mount Sinai is close to where Jethro lived.”

After their miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, the Israelites would have wandered in this desert and water would have been foremost on their minds.

The book of Exodus, chapter 15, says they came to an oasis called Elim, where there were 12 springs and 70 Palm trees. Those 12 springs are still there and at least one is still in use by the Bedouins in the area.

Jones is concerned that any construction project in the area could harm historical sites, such as a mountain range he says is described in the Bible.

Saudi Arabia In Arrears To Construction Contractors

Many understood the huge significance of the revitalization of the U.S. oil industry on the world market, especially impacting the financial position of Saudi Arabia. In fact, 2015 data according to the CIA Fact Book has the U.S. and the kingdom almost equal in total year oil production. And of course, the slide in oil prices has required Saudi Arabia to enact austerity measures. As it turns out, the effects have come more quickly and severely than some predicted.

This past Sunday, Arab News reported that the kingdom has just made a Saudi riyal 40-billion (10.5 billion USD) late payment owed to private contractors. And that amount still does not settle the matter. Fahad Al-Hammadi, chief of the National Contractors’ Committee at the Council of Saudi Chambers, said:

The Saudi government is expected to pay up to 80 percent of the total dues to contractors during the remaining few weeks of this year by disbursing another SR100 billion (26.5 Billion USD)[.]

The lag in payments in concert with the penalties against the Saudi Bin Laden Construction Group for the Mecca crane disaster have left tens of thousands of expat workers out of work and stranded in the country. An example is the Mohammad Al Mojil Group (MMG), which has directly appealed to Deputy Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that it could not continue operating in the current situation.

MMG has been typical of many companies who felt that the good times would continue to roll and became overextended. Then, the founder, his son, and the chairman were sentenced by the Capital Market Authority (CMA) for fraud and manipulation and suspended the stock over the company’s losses. The end result is that the company had to reduce its workforce from 25,000 to 3,000.

Officially, there is a lot of optimism that the payment plan will work and that construction projects will resume. It was reported that some of the contractors from Germany, Turkey, Spain, and India confirmed that they are being paid their due. Yet construction in Riyadh has been on hold for several months. Construction sites for the planned metro subway system, medical facilities, roads, and highways still sit idle. It’s anyone’s guess if the continued transfer of funds from the public treasury to private contractors will solve the problem, given the vastly reduced oil revenue.

Selected Comments:

I was just telling one of my buddies yesterday that the age of muslim big oil is over and that ultimately these oil kingdoms will collapse, all thanks to the fracking revolution

The collapse and disarray of these muslim rat nations who have held the world hostage for too long. Of course the pansy Europeans can be their main customer and perhaps keep them going for a while.

Outside of oil, what do the Arabs have. Nothing. Egypt imports 80% of it’s food. When Trump turns on the oil spigot, oil prices will further collapse and so will the middle east. It’s by far the best weapon we have. Starve them out.

Yes, but with one proviso:

Starve them out and wall them in. Otherwise the Arab/Muslim hordes will accelerate their diaspora and destroy Europe even sooner than expected.

I anxiously await the day that Saudi Arabia is bankrupt and penniless!

Saudi Arabia is the Greatest Paper Tiger in the history of the World! They have NOTHING but oil reserves and rely upon that wealth for everything. They are the laziest humans on the earth. Their Military is a complete joke: Jordan could defeat them militarily. Except, We guarantee their security and that must stop. I love Fracking! Kill that Saudi Strangle Hold on the Price of Oil! Put those Sheikh’s back in the desert, in a squalid tent, herding goats and camels!
