Red sea crossing

In the story told in the Bible and Koran, "Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night."

In reality, wind, hydrodynamics and the unique topography of the Nile Delta may have had the same effect - with the same miraculous results for the Israelites.

The study by the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research and the University of Colorado replaces the hand of God with a 139km east wind blowing for at least 12 hours.  It also suggests that the epic crossing of the Red Sea happened 120km north of Suez, where an ancient branch of the Nile approached a shallow coastal lagoon, and near the modern Port Said.

Otherwise, one of the study's authors claims: "The simulations match fairly closely with the account in Exodus."  In that account Moses and the Israelites are driven from Egypt by the Pharoah's army, which pursues them across the Red Sea only to be drowned when the waters return to their natural state.

If the pursuit took place across the lagoon known as the Lake of Tanis, "the parting of the waters can be understood through fluid dynamics," according to Carl Drews, the lead author of Dynamics of Wind Setdown at Suez and the Eastern Nile Delta.

Using computer models and modern understanding of the phenomenon of "wind setdown" - by which strong, steady winds have been shown to push back large volumes of water temporarily - Drews concluded that a gale of the kind described in the Bible could have created a land bridge 3.2km wide and 4.8km long and open for perhaps four hours.

1 Peter 1 : 24 -25

For "All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the lord stands forever" - 1 Peter 1 : 24 -25

It's a fact that a few books survive very long.  Only one book is eternal.  The Bible stands forever.  The word of God lives forever.

We are even warned of what will happen if try to destroy the Bible.  Revelations 22 : 18 -19 "And I solemnly declare to everyone who hears of the words of prophecy written in this book; If anyone adds anything to what is written here, God will add to that person the plagues described in this book.  And if anyone removes any of the words from this book of prophecy, God will remove that person's share in the tree of life, and in the holy city that are described in this book.

Galatians 4:6

And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your heart, crying out, " Abba, Father".   Galatians 4:6


In the Bible, Jesus said, "Therefore,do not worry, saying ' What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or ' What shall we wear?' For your Heavenly Father knows that you need all these things" ( Matthew 6: 31-32)

Once, He said.  "If you then, being Evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heavengive good gifts to those who ask him!" (Matthew 7:11)

Know that He is your Father, and ask Him, and you Will receive !!!

Numbers 6:22-26

The LORD said to Moses, “Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them: “‘ “The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.”‘ – Numbers 6:22-26

This famous blessing is still used today in many churches and synagogues. Notice that this blessing does not come from Moses, but from Lord. And what does God want His people to know? That God wants to bless us and keep us. That he wants us to know Him so that we will understand that He is gracious and filled with peace. Is this your view of God? If not, then take the time to think about this blessing then pray this over your life and your household today!
