and came out (see Genesis 50). Through this, Joseph's wish was fulfilled.
It suggests that the hope left at the end of Genesis will be fulfilled.
God will lead his people, but they will walk according to his faithful covenant to the end.
God’s presence is clearly shown here (13:19).

When Pharaoh followed, God immediately took the Israelites to the shores of the Red Sea.
They encamped (14:2). This can imitate Sun Tzu's warfare or Zhuge Gongming.
There was no strategy. However, Israel was very weak beings. already
Seeing the chariots of Egypt that were weakening as they got weaker, the chatter melted and it became cold.
Their resentment is just like the bullshit we sometimes talk about today.

Even after seeing Christ triumphant on the cross, we still
Sometimes they mistakenly think they are bound by Satan, and they still forget the joy of the flesh.
What we can't do is what they see.
“Do not be afraid, stand still, and the Lord will
Behold the salvation in action...The Lord will fight for you.

In the US, we too have had countless experiences, and we know that all things will work together for good (Romans).
8:28) I am familiar with it.
Still, how often do we resent? it's really sad
All. But take comfort. that it is a human with a sinful nature
What would you do? Waiting only for God's hand to save us
That is true hope and true faith.
From now on, so that God can fight, we have the courage to stand still

He strikes people” (14:24-25). Immediately the LORD sent the waters of the sea over the Egyptian army.
“And the water flowed again, and covered the chariots and the horsemen,
They covered all of Pharaoh's army that went into the sea after them, leaving only one left.

It was an operation I could not have done and could not have imagined.
Crossing the Red Sea has a deep meaning. we are above
As we saw, Israel may be content with being saved, but after that
It should be noted that there is another hidden meaning.
