The Great Crossing

THE GREAT CROSSING Moses communicated to Pharaoh God’s message, “Let my people go to the desert that They may worship me and celebrate.” Plagues nine from God, Pharaoh deceived nine times The tenth was a consecration of the firstborn. The Life of Pharaoh’s only son separated. Pharaoh let Israel go for their worship Israel, a vast nation, may call her. ‘The holy nation’ chosen by God Reached the shore of the sea of reeds. Pharaoh and his Army followed to repossess them, The people saw the Dead Sea in front of them And their enemy with weapons behind them. In horror, they watched it, and in anger they grumbled Against Moses and God, who brought them out of Egypt. God’s command came to Moses Before the frightened and hopeless Israelites. Moses obeyed the Lord’s Instructions To stretch out his staff over the Dead Sea. They with their eyes saw the water parting To create a dry land in the sea. They watched the wall of water very high On their left and right, as they walked across. Every Israel crossed the sea on dry ground victoriously, After that they saw the enemies perishing in the mid-sea. Their trust in their Creator God filled them with joy Sign of a mighty group healing, faith brings healing.
