Exodus 14:21-28 Then Moses stretched out his hand
over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east
wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters
were divided. So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea
on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right
hand and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued and went after them
into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his
horsemen. Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the LORD looked
down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud,
and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. And He took off their chariot
wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said,
"Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the LORD fights for them
against the Egyptians." Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch
out your hand over the sea, that the waters may come back upon the Egyptians,
on their chariots, and on their horsemen." And Moses stretched
out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned
to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the
LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. Then the waters
returned and covered the chariots, the horsemen, and all the army of
Pharaoh that came into the sea after them. Not so much as one of them
remained.
We
know today that, the entire length of the Red Sea is 1200 miles and
it has a width of 230 miles in the south and 130 miles in the north.
The deepest point of the sea is about 2000 metres. This is not a description
of a small pond! God performed a great miracle when He divided the sea
for the Israelites.
God loves you so much that He is ready to divide the seas and to remove
mountains. This is how He shows His love towards you and how He also
fulfils His promises. You can depend upon it even today! jk
A song says it like this: How great is my God, how great is His name, the greatest One, forever the same. He parted the waters from the mighty Red Sea and He says I want to lead you, put your trust in me.
