EXODUS 14:10-14<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– One of the most touching events regarding the children of Israel on their journey from slavery to the promised land \u2013 Canaan is when they crossed the Red See<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– This was humanly impossible but by the power and might of God the Sea parted and the children of Israel passed through<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– All of this was done so that God would take glory for Himself and further prove that He is the great God and the creator of all things \u2013 Vs. 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Briefing on the Israelites Story:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– We all know that the Israelites were taken into slavery in Egypt \u2013 (400 years)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– When it was time for them to leave slavery to go to the promised land – Canaan<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Pharaoh was not ready to let them go but to continue to enslave them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– After many plagues from God \u2013 Pharaoh let them go<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– Pharaoh sees that he has made a mistake in letting the Israelites go \u2013 Vs.5<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– So, he makes the decision to follow them and bring them back into slavery<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– He does so without knowing that GOD is with the Israelites<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– And that is when Pharaoh and his entire army are destroyed by God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– God declares the destruction of the Egyptians \u2013 the enemies of the Israelites and that they will never be seen again \u2013 And, that is what happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
