Where did Paul go after his conversion before beginning his ministry?
Paul went to Arabia, Mount Sinai, where he spent three years being dealt with by the Lord before beginning his ministry. There is debate whether he remained at Sinai the whole time or returned to Damascus before the three years ended.
Les explains that Galatians 1 indicates Paul went down to Arabia, Mount Sinai, after his conversion. Les believes Paul spent the entire three years at Sinai, where the Lord dealt with him personally in the desert. Others suggest he may have spent part of that time at Sinai and then returned to Damascus. Les says that three-year experience was so embedded in Paul that he could press on through trials and tribulations, always pressing on.
