The exodus from Egypt numbered in the millions and
the caravan stretched for miles. The Israelites marched during the
day and at night with supernatural light. God protected the
Israelites at the Red Sea from the Egyptian army with a supernatural
barrier. The Lord parted the waters so they stood like vertical
walls and sent an east wind to dry the sea floor. The path was wide
enough that some 3 million people with their animals we able to
cross in a 24 hour time period. When God removed the barrier, the
Egyptian army saw the Israelites on the other side and pursued them
onto the sea floor where they were killed when the walls of water
collapsed and they drowned under an avalanche of water. When Satan
later sent the Amalekites to destroy them, God once again intervened
supernaturally, and although the Israelites were untrained in war,
God gave them the victory. The faith of Moses and the willingness of
the people to obey a God they did not really know was all that the
Lord needed as He supplied the necessary supernatural events. God
still works on the earth today and the formula remains the same. |
