Yet one more confirming word of the reliability of scripture amidst a world of scientific ignorance. See the kids below? The ocean was there. Dry land now, hmmm.
Remind you of something? Does it remind you of something that so-called smart people have said is impossible? Well, as usual, God’s word has the drop on our short-sighted ignorance.
Read the account in the scriptural narrative, and perhaps you will get a fresh appreciation for God and His always relevant and perfect word. Enjoy the account of Moses as if it happened yesterday.
Look at the link and vid. The ocean was ahem cough cough, once teeming with water, until………a strong wind blew. A hurricane is a pretty strong wind. 😉

So the Egyptians were harassing the Israelites, and you know the account. Question is, do you believe it?
And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that 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.
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.
And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,
And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.
And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.
And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them.
But the children of Israel walked upon dry land in the midst of the sea; and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.
Soooo Mr/Mrs sceptic, thousands of years ago records what is said today to be impossible, only to be shown as a matter of fact. Gotta love that dry ground of the ocean by a strong wind, only to return to the waters of full strength. The God of Moses is the God of this blogger, as well as the only God of heaven and earth.
God’s word has never lost an argument to ants, those industrious little fellas.
That is an excellent point! Good post, friend.

Oh, amen! Well said.
I’ve seen negative surge before and it is just surreal. My first thought was, “Lord,I think you just parted the Red Sea,” soon followed by “run,” because when that water goes out, at some point, it’s coming back with a vengeance. Absolutely, the Lord could suck the sea away by “a strong east wind all that night,” That’s actually established science. I don’t doubt that one bit.
Now as to where Moses got all his energy in his old age, enough to lead people around in the desert, that one gives me pause 🙂

Well here we are, iron sharpening iron. We have every right to be suspicious of ‘science’ when God is left out of the mix. For goodness sake He created it!
Rainbows, hailstones, geese formations, butterfly’s, honeycombs, oceans, dry land, heck, pure science, order, design, and repeated awe.
Your concern re. Moses in humor of course, but is actually one of my fav texts in scripture msb.
He died at the age of 120, with his eye not dim, nor his natural force abated.
No glasses, and full of good health, but his time was ended. I just love the unassuming reading of that epitaph. The elegance of scripture never disappoints.

I love this ColorStorm, very well done! I am fascinated too by the hurricane effect of sucking up water and would love to see this some time.
God certainly does think of everything.

Tks T, but be careful what ib said……….nice to see, but not so nice if you are in the crosshairs when it returns. 😉

Such a great connection CS as that whole disappearing act has been absolutely unreal—a phenomenon that our unbelieving friends would write off as mere weather and climate happenstance….
But rather what we the family of believers see as all interconnected and related…and humbling and awesome—as in fearful, powerful and awing….
and woe to be out there when it does fill back up—with what I doubt will be a trickle…..

Well if all three good ladies here agree…………. 😉
Then I’ll agree too! lol
Yes, full of awe in the best way, but still, folks need to respect the power of God and be wise about their own safety.

What is generally miraculous about the miracles described by the Bible is the timing. God does miracles that could happen anyway, but the timing is suspicious. Moses calls down ten plagues, for example, and one after another they happen — on command.
