The Crossing Of The Red Sea

With the armies of Pharaoh pressing in behind them and the impassable waters before them, Moses stretched out his staff. Throughout the night, a strong east wind divided the sea, allowing the children of Israel to cross on dry ground. As the morning dawned, the waters returned, completely destroying the Egyptian pursuit. The ultimate physical salvation of the nation is complete.

"Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore."
— Exodus 14:30
Timeline Box: The Red Sea crossing is the great Old Testament foreshadowing of passing from death to life.
