Seems to me revelation at Sinai to millions— who experienced it and believed it (they knew it, seeing is believing,)— is better proof.

Is Revelation Difficult To Understand… Or Difficult To Believe?<<<

Seems to me revelation at Sinai to millions— who experienced it and believed it (they knew it, seeing is believing,)— is better proof.

Direct revelation tends to torque people off, if it's not unseen in the first place (the first priority), perhaps because the DR is not found in the programming.

Here you go, just look as this expression for literal torque. It's a mixed bag of word origins:

מומנט כוח

"A moment of force"

= 179 = venahafoch hu [ונהפוך הוא].

("In physics and mechanics, torque is the rotational analogue of linear force.")

And then the message when they are placed together:

מומנט כוח ונהפוך הוא

(= 358)

***

Or, how to split "the sea": ה-ים

(55 = 5 + 50; and "55 Saves Lives", but who had the time and patience for that).

When there's a will, there's a way.

When there's no will, there's no way. That's what the eagle-eyed Haman Resources departments are for. They pride themselves on disqualifying the most qualified candidate. Wouldn't want the wrong guy to get the job!!!

So transparent.

The splitting of the Red Sea was an event at which Israel experienced direct revelation of God. Their witnessing of God was so sweeping and so imposing that the Sages declared, “the merest handmaiden at the Sea saw what Isaiah and Ezekiel never saw;” (Mechilta of Rabbi Ishmael, Tractate Shira, Parasha 3). “a tot on its mother’s knees and a babe suckling at its mother’s breast…even a fetus in its mother’s womb” witnessed theShechina.” (Tosefta Sotah, סוטה ו ה”ד). At this uplifting moment they broke into song. According to the “it was said at the sea” approach, Israel sang not only the Song of the Sea but also the Song of Songs. The verses of the latter take on a holy dimension and are presented as words of prophecy, an expression of the experience of witnessing God face to face.

The Song of Songs enhances the Splitting of the Sea with its ambiance of a longed-for encounter between a pair of lovers. In our opening midrash, the Song of Songs adds a new quality to the God-Israel relationship: not only as a dove and her master, with its elements of caring and lordship, but also as lovers who share a closeness and great love. The custom of reading the Song of Songs on Passover thus renews that lofty religious experience of seeing God face to face, and expresses our fervent desire that God’s love and concern for us will abide forever.

The hawk and snake discover to their surprise that the dove [היונה] is not wild but belongs to her master, who comes to her aid, dispelling the danger and saving her.

Not in the programming:

You've got your reasons to choose
Not to ever believe me
Maybe life's done you so dirty
You'll never be free
Look whatcha doin' to someone
Who so really loves you.
Is that the lonesome ol' way
You want it to be?...

...We can do better than this
We can go for the glory
I hope to God we can handle
the worst of our fears (now don't be afraid)...

.....

They experienced it about 60 days after Passover, then was left alone for 40 days, without Moses, and failed miserably and ended up with the death of about 3,000..

They didn’t believe the spies and had to wander for 40 years in the wilderness.. and most died in the wilderness..

Amazing that so many actually experienced, and believed it, then failed to keep the experience or the faith..

Wayside,rocky and thorny was an experience for Israel way before New Covenant Church was introduced to it in a Parable..
