The way to prove that God is the God of Mount Sinai is easy.
Proof #1
The Bible is unique from all literature in known history; it predicts the future with 100% accuracy. Since God exists beyond time, He sees the entire timeline and is able to tell us what will happen before it happens. Let's look at some prophecy in Jewish scripture that predates Christ by many hundreds of years;
Daniel 9:24 says the Messiah will come, die, and then the temple would be destroyed. Isaiah 49 says this Messiah will be rejected by the nation of Israel, but be a Light to the gentiles (non-jews). Isaiah 53 says this Messiah will be bruised, beaten, and killed, buried with the rich, and then have His days prolonged (ressurrection).
Jesus came, was rejected by Israel, killed, buried with the rich (which was a rarity for convincted criminals), and then rose from the dead. And now, 2000 years later, the entire Gentile world now worships the God of Israel because of this Jesus of Nazareth.
There are hundreds of prophecies in The Bible, this is just one of them that is so powerful, it's undeniable.
