The Destruction of the Egyptians
H. Barnard, B. A. Exodus 14:21-25 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night… Consider this destruction of Pharaoh and his host as — I. A JUDGMENT. It was — 1. Sudden in its execution. No warning given. 2. Terrible in its nature. Involving the destruction of a whole army, the picked men of the most powerful nation in the world. 3. Well merited by the subjects of it. Repeated warnings were conveyed in the plagues, yet all were now disregarded. II. A DELIVERANCE. Israel delivered from Pharaoh — 1. Out of a perilous situation. 2. Notwithstanding their want of faith. 3. By a glorious miracle. III. A LESSON to — 1. The sinner. Beware lest your end be like Pharaoh's; heed the warnings given to you. 2. The Christian. Learn to know the greatness of your deliverance from the host of Satan. (H. Barnard, B. A.)
