Pharaoh’s deadly chariots closed the gap fast, pinning a scared nation against a deep watery dead end. Driven by pride, the king chose to launch a brutal attack, expecting an easy slaughter. But human choices never surprise the Almighty, nor do they shake His eternal laws. Without stopping the enemy from making their own move, God simply beat them at their own game right on the spot. He parted the ocean to make a road of escape for Israel, while letting the Egyptian forces march straight into the trap of their own choices. The collapsing waves swallowed the whole army, proving that human rebellion can never stop the power of the Lord of hosts.
“And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 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.” Exodus 14:21-22
