Exodus Chapter 14 Discussion Page 3

Hello Skip, Perhaps the Red Sea was the wilderness. Without question it was a path not familiar. A new way.

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.

i have a question

when the Lord caused a wind to blow to the sea where the children of isreal to the east or by the west side

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.

Why did the Lord harden Pharaoh's heart. So the Lord made him not want to let the Israelites go ??

Verse 5:The Egyptians still failed to respect and fear the true God. The were still selfish in their reasoning.

9. Speak it and practice the Words of God.

"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.

May you be a Light to everyone around you.

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.

Bema Seat= rewards or loss of rewards.

To JOEL OSTEEN

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.

Yes indeed we serve a mighty and very good God.

We serve a Mighty Good God. All we have to do is trust and obey, and He will fight our battles - everytime.

Amen!

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.

You mean genocide? Like the ancestors of the Israelites suffered?

Exodus is a very powerful reminder of what God can do to those who hate against the Israelies.

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.

These were chosen chariots 600,special force that maybe at the disposal of the King. Others were just chariots for normal use.

Jesus is not an angel.

This great miracle was done at night!!!! Hallelujah! Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning!

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.

This chapter taught me: "Though fear be upon my flesh (in 2018) by Faith I shall trust in Jehovah". WOW,WOW,WOW!

exodus 14 vs 14 this is my confession now and forever ,the passage of God of impossibility.

Verse 5~Pharaoh and the Egyptians were truly haughty to the core. They quickly forgot the power of Jehovah God and they stubbornly went to capture the Israelites.

"And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots, and his horsemen." I am amazed at the boundless power of God in His care for us; and the relentless stupidity of the wicked!

Verses 19,20~Jehovah God used his angel, most likely Jesus, to guide his people by day and night.

The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

who is Christ

My memory, somewhat challenged, I freely admit, tells me I either read or heard that chariots and parts thereof have been found in the Red Sea. Any comment on that anybody?
