Crossing the red sea

Yesterday, during DLT class, Deaconess June Tan showed us the picture of a chariot wheel found in the red sea, where the exodus took place

i felt really intrigued, and decided to do some research on the net, and it painted such a fabulous picture, that i simply have to share with you guys


This is an aerial picture of the beach where the crossing of the red sea occurs


Pharaoh's army entered from the same wadi, which is the only entrance onto the beach.

To the right of the picture, which is to the north, is the egyptian fortress, thus, escape towards that direction is impossible

To the top left of the picture, which is to the south, mountains block escape in the direction

And with Pharaoh's army coming in from the wadi, they have to retreat towards the south area
If they move towards the north area, they will be completely surrounded by the Egyptians


chariot wheels and bones,both human and horses, were found at the sea bed of the crossing site by divers
They were covered in coral, which made it difficult to see them clearly, but it appears that the coral was the agent the Lord used to preserve them.

and here's the part which i found most amazing
There was research done on the sea bed area around the crossing site

This is a 3D model of the findings
This information is really exciting, because it shows a consistent pathway across the gulf from egypt to the other shore that, with the water removed, could have easily been traveled.

God's way are so amazing
and he really showed how superior he is
Even His choice when he chose Moses, to lead Him people out of Egypt
When God gave Moses these instructions, it is evident that Moses knew where these places were - he was familiar with the land, afterall he was the prince of Egypt

Can u imagine God choosing someone who is clueless abt the place
He could have walked right into enemy territory

Our God is no trial-and-error God
His plans are so precise and wise


now now
think

is there anything too hard for God in your life?
He's there for you, and his ways are greater than ours
Why then should we live our lives as though he doesnt exist, or feeling that we do not need him, that our ways are sufficient for us?

this same God, he planned the greatest escape, documented and verified, easily greater than any of Houdini's greatest escapes
He made the impossible possible,
And
He can do that for you and me too!

Hallelujah!
God is simply too amazing!!!


on a side note,
i might consider going diving in the red sea someday in my life if ever given a chance! ;-)

now now now
who says DLT is boring? ;-)
