The Red Sea Crossing

1 Now the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, athat they turn and camp before bPi Hahiroth, between cMigdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea.  
3 For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, a‘They are bewildered by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.’  
4 Then aI will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I bwill gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, cthat the Egyptians may know that I am the Lord.” And they did so.  
5 Now it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and athe heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?”  
6 So he1 made ready his chariot and took his people with him.
7 Also, he took asix hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of Egypt with captains over every one of them.

Exodus 14:1-5

Brethren, this is an important lesson that we take away on this day. Make special note of verse 5 because it clearly states the zero-sum system that the whole world runs on. Without God's deliverance, the zero-sum game of Satan shows the way of life: somebody has to lose. According to Pharaoh, it should have been Israel. And somebody has to win. It should have been the Egyptians or the other way around.
