This area, I strongly suspect, Moses had explored before, had seen before, had been before. After all he escaped from Egypt 40 years earlier toward this direction and ended up in Midian for 40 years and then hiked back with his brother, who God sent to be with him.
Another translation states it this way...
"the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea"
The wilderness was NOT the Red Sea, in my opinion.
The Children of Israel were exiting from Egypt and this is how Moses described the route to The Red Sea...
"And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them NOT through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: But God led the people about, THROUGH the way of The Wilderness of the RED SEA: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt." Exo 13:17-18
The Red Sea has TWO fingers, so to speak. The finger closest to Egypt has no wilderness on the Egypt side, but the other finger has the Sinai wilderness on the Egypt side and the Arabian wilderness on the other side. So this finger of the Red Sea is the one the I believe they crossed, from the west to the east.
Helen, may the Spirit grace you with HIS wisdom and His understanding. Keep studying God's word, you may think you can't remember everything; and if called upon you are concerned you would fall short of the task. You want fall short of the task because God's word says:
Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of the Father which speaketh in you.
Our first objective is to agree with the Spirit. WE ARE THE POT AND HE IS THE POTTER.
Sometimes the POT was created just to be seen, your actions more often speak louder than your words.
However the POTTER uses us is at his discretion not ours, but he will provide all you need to fulfil his desires.
Jesus told his disciples he was sent to be a servant, isn't it wonderful that Jesus does all things or us.
John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches:....... without me you can do nothing.
Isaiah 30:7 .....Their strength is to sit (like a pot on the wheel) still.
Exodus 14:13 And Moses said unto the people, fear ye not, stand and BEHOLD THE SALVATION OF THE LORD.......
Our problem is WE KEEP GETTING OF THE POTTERS WHEEL.
In Exodus 10:1,2 we read: "And the LORD said unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh: for I have hardened his heart, and the heart of his servants, that I might shew these my signs before him: And that thou mayest tell in the ears of thy son, and of thy son's son, what things I have wrought in Egypt, and my signs which I have done among them; that ye may know how that I am the LORD."
So in these verses, we are given two reasons why the Lord did what He did to Pharaoh & before Moses. To Pharaoh, that God might show to him that He is indeed the only God of the Universe & that there is none beside him or like him. The Pharaoh was more than just a king in Egypt, he was considered a god or representing the gods. That is why he was so defiant against the True God & even had his sorcerers duplicate many of the miracles that Moses did in God's Power. The Pharaoh took a while to learn this important lesson, but in the end he did - he must have been a humbled, broken man.
And to Moses: that his witness to the Power of the God he served might be told to his fellow Israelites, so that they too may learn to fear & be obedient to the One Who loved them & had their lives in His Hands. As well, to proclaim this news to their succeeding generations. For this reason, the Jews even today commemorate this great deliverance from the clutches of Pharaoh, by celebrating the Feast of the Passover, Exodus chapter 12. This was when the Lord would pass by those houses that had the blood applied to the doorposts of their dwellings but those that didn't do so, would experience the death of their firstborn, whether a person or animal. The Jews faithfully remember this great event & praise God for their deliverance, but to have Christ's blood applied to the 'doorposts' of their hearts, they will refuse. It's so sad that they fail to see the significance of that first deliverance & apply it to their present predicament & God's offer of salvation from death's grip.
Paul was referring back to the old days when the children of Israel had left the bondage that they were in at Egypt, and were being led of God from Egypt towards the Promised Land, Canaan. God ministered to them in many ways, including supplying food & water as well. However, God used a (very large) cloud to guide Moses & the people by day & a pillar of fire by night: Exodus 13:21,22.
And when Israel stopped to rest & set up camp, that cloud from God went behind them & near the pursuing Egyptians, so that Israel had light, while this great cloud covered the sun & gave darkness to the pursuing Egyptians, so that they too had to stop since they couldn't see where they were going: Exodus 14:19,20. In this way, God maintained a separation between Israel & her enemies, thus keeping her safe.
So the point that Paul was making here, was that how wonderfully God had taken care of His people during those difficult days (40 years) of trekking through the desert because of their murmuring & disobedience to God, so the Corinthians also should use that event as an example for their own lives. God had dealt severely with Israel for their sins & so we too should be careful in our Christian walk & live carefully before God, lest He discipline us according to our waywardness & sins. The Corinthian Christians were living amongst an idolatrous people & were being tempted to live by their standards (even as it is today with us), but Paul's warning to them was to beware of living like this & learn from the serious example that the Israelites in their wanderings, had set for them.
"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." - Colossians 3:16 (KJV)
Be the manifestation of God's wisdom. Do not just learn God's words, but also speak it out and practice it. Make yourself the substantial evidence of kindness, compassion, self-discipline, and love. Let the people around you realize that the wisdom of God, which is Christ, is within you.
10. Do your best to get wisdom.
"Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or swerve from them. Do not forsake wisdom, and she will protect you; love her, and she will watch over you. Wisdom is supreme; therefore get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." - Proverbs 4:5-7 (NIV)
Finally, do your best to get wisdom. Free yourself from foolishness, arrogance, pride, envy, hatred, selfishness, and all the things that hinder wisdom from entering your body, mind, heart, and soul. Let the pure wisdom of God dwell in you.
Women in Ministry in the Last Days on Exodus 14:14 - 5 years ago
JOEL 2
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the HANDMAIDS in those days will I pour out my spirit.
30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.
31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible DAY OF THE LORD come.
32 And it shall come to pass, that
whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
Hardly anyone Preaches on the Book of Joel these days, even tho it's clearly indicating The Day Of The Lord... which means about now.
Why are you so threatened by Female Preachers? Anyway.... we'll all, both sexes, will be present at the Bema Seat, together.
Verse 29 indicates a pouring out (soaking), not a droplet. In a time when men should be encouragers, you still relegate women to screened rooms so no one can see them.
On a personal level, men rarely participate in evening prayers or a quick Bible reading to women and children. Priestly duties.
So, you want us to stop posting our message of Repentance, which is according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17). The emphasis on the word 'cannot'. Legion also wanted to be left alone ( Mark 5:9; Luke 8:30). In summary our message remains the same: Ye must repent.
The Baptism of Repentance is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).
For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9) and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( Matthew 7:7; John 14:17). The emphasis again on the word 'cannot'.
You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), as mankind follows after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; 2 Cor. 11:13-15; Rev. 12:9).
It is only by revelation of God that people will come to know the true Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1), and only then will you be able to overcome the spirit of this world ( 1 John 5:4; Rev. 3:21) and learn what 'True Repentance' means, and how this whole world has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9). It should also be remembered that it is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
LUKE 15:10. LIKEWISE, I SAY UNTO YOU, THERE IS JOY IN THE PRESENCE OF THE ANGELS OF GOD OVER ONE SINNER THAT REPENTETH.
The Lord just spoke to me clearly in this scripture below, so I must leave this website. I love you all that are in this race to the finish, in Jesus Christ and his Life eternal. Comfort one another and be Lambs with the true revelation of the harvest field. God Bless you in your faithfulness! Stay true Mishael!
This is the scripture:
Exodus 14:14
The LORD shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
Hi Al, have you actually researched this? Because Ron Wyatt discovered a wheel with a few spokes in the late 70s and has tons of documented photos and videos of it, and did scientific analysis of it. One of the videos on YouTube is called "Revealing God's Treasure - Red Sea Crossing". Are you aware of this?
Ivy Johnson. The World News Daily Report report of Oct 14, 2014 is fake news web sight. Research this and you'll find that nothing concerning chariots or bones have been in the Red Seas.
Sometimes we take a lot of time framing what are the plans of God and what He is doing, not realising that GOD works behind the scene. What your eyes are seeing maybe the opposite of what GOD is doing to deliver you from trouble. BE STILL, WAIT UPON THE LORD.
On October 14, 2014, Web Site World News Daily Report(WNDR) Published an Article reporting that Chariot Wheels and Bones of horses and men has been discovered at the bottom of the Red Sea. Thereby, supposedly, Proving Archeological Proof the Bibical Narative Account. The Escape of The Israelites from the Egyptians. In The Book of Exodus, God parted the Red Sea long enough for Moses-led Israelites.
I don't agree with the answer about the number of chariots that Pharaoh took to pursue the Israelites. Surely 600 is mentioned, but so are and all the chariots in Egypt. I believe there were more than 600. How many more the number is not given. Maybe the 600 were for war and all the rest were for travel or work.??? Look at 14:7 again and you should see the distinction. Special and normal.
Moses for the Israelites, he was their savior. Moses also represented our Lord Jesus Christ for our present time, he saves us from our sins, both Moses and our Lord Jesus save those who believe in them, Egypt kept the Israelites as slaves through Pharaoh, the devil keep us as slaves through our sins. We must repent, so that we may be saved. Repentance is the dry land of the red sea. Today repent.
Another translation states it this way...
