The Bible. Are you intimidated at the thought of reading such a complicated book? Do you find it

daunting or delightful or both? Welcome to the club. The Bible book club where we read every word

of this great book and then study it together well for me last

episode was a pivotal point in our podcast for this season because it was a bible bender for me that

the parting of the red sea and the crossing of the Israelites was a

metaphor for Christ dying on the cross. And I never thought about it that way before, but I really

love that concept of he parted the Red Sea for us when he died on the cross. And that's the

biggest miracle that the Israelites had ever experienced. And Christ dying on the

cross is the biggest miracle that you could ever have in your life. And so I think that's just a really

good thing for us to remember as we continue to read all this stuff and just with gratitude,

appreciate that he did that for us. It was really what they hung their hat on throughout the Old

Testament is this is what God did for us. He redeemed us and he did these miracles. And that's kind of what

we hang our hat on in the New Testament is that Jesus did this for us. Yeah. That's cool. Well,

Pharaoh had a change of heart as we saw last episode and he was going to attack the Israelites. He just

one more time, wasn't going to let them go.

But the Israelites, they were cornered, but then they were protected by the cloud, as we read last time, the cloud that they were looking back instead of looking at.

And so God just moved the cloud.

Yep.

And Moses told them, the Lord will fight for you. You only need to be

still. And just listen to the Lord telling you that still today. The Lord will fight for you. You just

need to be still. And he did. And so God provided a way out, part of the Red Sea. The Israelites lived,

the Egyptians die. And here we are. Here we are in chapter 15.
