The Egyptians (ENEMIES) you see today you will never see again. THE LOED WILL FIGHT FOR YOU; you need only to be still. Then the Lord said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites, (GODS PEOPLE) to move on. Raise your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea to divide the water so that the Israelites can go through the sea on dry ground.
