THE PARTING OF
THE RED
SEA
WAS A MIRACLE. IT
IS IMPORTANT FOR US TO KNOW WHEN THE
ISRAELITES CROSSED THE RED SEA.
DOES THE EXACT
TIME THEY CROSSED PARALLEL WITH ANY EVENT IN THE
BIBLE?
The following
knowledge is vitally important in locking all the
pieces together that form the
understanding of God’s plan for His people.
The Passover must
be kept on the correct day to unlock the mystery of
the parting of the Red Sea.
When the
Israelites left Egypt,
they first camped at Succoth.
Exo
12:37 Then
the children of Israel
journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred
thousand men on foot,
besides children.
The second day
they camped at Etham.
Exo
13:20 So
they took their journey from
Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the
wilderness.
The third day
they camped between Migdol and the sea.
Exo
14:2 "Speak
to the children of Israel,
that they turn and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between
Migdol and the sea,
opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by
the sea.
This was three
days from the killing of the Passover lamb.
The parting of
the Red Sea is to be
compared with our
baptism. When
the sea closed in the
morning is to be compared to the raising of Christ,
and His ascendance to the
Father. Notice the following.
The Red Sea parted all night,
{starting three days from the
time that Christ would be buried}. This is three days
from the time the lambs
were killed. As
the Israelites came
through the Red Sea
they reached the other
side where the Promised Land was available. The
Israelites were not at the Promised
Land when they came out of Egypt.
Christ, after His
death was to be three days and three nights in the
heart of the earth and then
be raised. The parting of the Red Sea corresponds to
the time of our baptism,
when the waters closed early in the morning
corresponds to the time Christ was
brought back from the heart of the earth and raised .
There is new knowledge to
be learnt regarding this time. Christ said He
would be three days and
three nights in the heart of the earth.
Mat 12:40
For as Jonah was
three days and three nights
in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of
Man be three days and three
nights in the heart of the earth.
The three days
are Thursday Friday Saturday, the three nights are
Thursday, Friday Saturday.
During this time Christ was in Hades or Hell. Sunday morning
He was raised from the dead.
Wednesday night He was in His tomb, He was
dead but was not in Hades or
Hell, which is the prison for the fallen angels.
Notice what Jesus
did when He went to hell.
1Pe
3:19 by
whom also He went and preached
to the spirits in prison,
1Pe
3:20 who
formerly were disobedient, when
once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of
Noah, while the ark
was being prepared, in which
a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through
water.
Let’s compare
this time with the exodus of the Israelites, the
Israelites prepared to leave Egypt
at this
time, they waited in their homes. They
had the Passover service, then at midnight, the death
angel passed over, then
around 2 am they left Egypt.
After Christ was
buried, He was resurrected sometime Thursday morning.
He then
went to hell.
Notice the
following regarding the time Christ spent in the heart
of the earth.
Act
2:27 FOR
YOU WILL NOT LEAVE MY SOUL IN
HADES, NOR WILL YOU ALLOW YOUR HOLY ONE TO SEE
CORRUPTION.
1Pe
3:18 For
Christ also suffered once for
sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring
us to God, being put to
death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,
1Pe 3:19 by whom
also He went and preached to the
spirits in prison,
1Pe
3:20 who
formerly were disobedient, when
once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of
Noah, while the ark
was being prepared, in which
a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through
water.
Eph 4:9 (Now this,
"HE ASCENDED" what does
it mean but that He also first descended into the
lower parts of the earth?
Eph
4:10 He
who descended is also the One
who ascended far above all the heavens, that He
might fill all things.)
Joh 20:1 Now the
first day of the week Mary Magdalene went
to the tomb early, while it
was still dark, and saw that
the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
Joh
20:17 Jesus
said to her, "Do
not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My
Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I
am ascending to My Father and
your Father, and to My
God and
your God.' "
The parting of
the Red Sea made the
way to the Promised Land
available. The resurrection, raising and glorification
of Jesus Christ made
eternal life available.
NOTE THIS VERY CAREFULLY, at our baptism we have
eternal life available
we do not at this time have eternal life.
Eph
1:13 In
Him you also trusted,
after you heard the word of
truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also,
having believed, you were
sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
Eph
1:14 who
is the guarantee of our
inheritance until the redemption of the purchased
possession, to the praise of
His glory.
As the Israelites crossed the Red Sea they left
Egypt
and came
to where the Promised Land was available. They had a
lot more trials and
tribulations before they actually entered the Promised
Land.
Exo
15:22 So
Moses brought Israel
from the Red Sea;
then they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And
they went three days in the
wilderness and found no water.
Exo
15:23 Now
when they came to Marah, they
could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter. Therefore the name of
it was called Marah.
Exo
15:24 And
the people complained against
Moses, saying, "What shall we drink?"
Exo
15:25 So
he cried out to the LORD, and
the LORD showed him a tree. When he cast it
into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There
He made a statute and an
ordinance for them, and there He tested them,
Exo
15:26 and
said, "If you diligently
heed the voice of the LORD your God and do what is
right in His sight, give ear
to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I
will put none of the diseases
on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I
am the LORD who heals you."
After crossing the Red Sea
they
journeyed three days into the wilderness to Marah.
Notice carefully verses 25
and 26. You will notice that God gave them a statute
and an ordinance and He
proved them there also. This happened on the Last day
of Unleavened Bread. This
is when they reached the waters of Marah. The last day
of Unleavened Bread.
God calls us out of Egypt
{sin} to where the Promised Land {eternal life} is
available. We have a lot of
trials and tribulations before we reach eternal life.
In these last days we must accept the knowledge
of the truth which is the
knowledge of eternal life. It is
restored knowledge by God for the end time church.
