I am from nigeria and exodus chapter 14 is letting me know that the Isrealites is the church and the egyptians is the boko haram,and through this scripture i am seeing GOD's fulfilling once again,praise GOD because HE never change and fail.
This is a great story. It has so many lessons. One of them is, Joseph was a blessing to the Pharaoh and Egypt, but his impact was quickly forgotten. There was no record that children of Israel was rude to the Egyptian. So, why should Pharaoh rise up and think of killing male children of Israel? This is a pointing finger that racism and wickedness have been existing for long time.God decided to use Pharaoh as an example that no matter how hard any task master.may be, God can still delivere his people. This is a great lessons for all colonial masters in all powerful countries, and all task masters around the world. Stop racial discrimination and embrace love and equality. Amen.
Yes, this was Pharoah that never knew Joseph and felt that the presence of God's children in Egypt (Goshen)was a disturbance to them. But remember that nobody can dare God especially when it has to do with His choosen Race bcos they are the covenant children. Everybody knows that Israel is the apple of God's eyes and nobody takes them for granted even when they bible has said they are a stiff neck people. No matter their sinful nature, they still remain precious to him bcs of God's covenant with Abraham. On several occasions God Himself had sent them into captivity, but all the nations that were used to enslave them all suffered even though it was really not their fault but who can question His supremacy. In other words, we should not allow ourselves to be used as instruments of evil as one is obviously bound to suffer for it. A great lesson.
Well, I guess thats what happens when you think you are better than the Lord. Pharaoh also said in the beginning, "Who is this Lord God? I know not of him, why should I listen?" Well if he did, maybe he wouldn't have drowned. He also did "what was right in his own eyes" Which was to enslave and mistreat the hebrews....so once again you reap what you sow!
It was hardly Pharaoh's fault! It says about 10 times that "The Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart" to stop him from letting the Israelites go so, that the Lord could make a point, and thousands of Egyptians die in the process.
I so much loved this scripture Exodus 14:13. God showed the Egyptians that he is the God that brought Moses into Egypt to deliver his people from the bondage of pharaoh and his people, and i believe that God will divine every sea of frustration in life you can only have faith like Moses did when God asked him to stretch the rod on the sea and with faith Moses did, so shall you have faith to move that mountain holding your victory in Jesus Name.............Amen.
Your 1 question quis seems misleading. You ask how many people parted the Red Sea? Your answer was 7-9 depending on how many people carried the Ark of the Covenant but in total truth NO PERSON actually parted the water it was the MIGHTY POWER of GOD that parted the water. As much as God was with Moses and Aaron they could not do the signs and wonders without 1st hearing instruction from the throne of God. The People were the merely the point of contact for God to use to complete the journey to the promise land.
I agree with your answer as to the number of people to carry the Ark Of the Covenant but not the number of people who parted the water.
Its such a powerful description of deliverance from every form of Pharaoh or bondage. My favourite verse is verse 16: Stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. This means that we have to play our own part in the miracle process.Why not receive god`s injuction today! STRETCH YOUR ROD OVER THE SEA OF PROBLEMS FACING YOU, AND DIVIDE IT! have a lovely day.
Israel is not the Church, The Church is the Bride of Christ, and Israel is the people of God. Israel is the apple of God's eye.
I agree with your answer as to the number of people to carry the Ark Of the Covenant but not the number of people who parted the water.
