umpav schooi lesson llisson v cod leads a people exodus 1317 1521 printed text exodus 131722 14 1015 golden text the lord will guide thee continually islah 5811 the lesson in its setting place the israelites gathered to gether as they went out of egypt at succoth which is to bo identified with the city of pithom in the north east of this great country various events in this lesson occurred be tween the city of succoth and some part of tho red sea which is not to day easily identifiable time bc 1498 and it came to pass when phar aoh had let tho people go that god led them not by tho way of tho land of tho philistines although that was near if tho israelites had come from egypt straight up into palestine all through gaza they could havo been in tho center of tho promised land within a week this is the way almost nil of the great military campaigns for tho invasion of palestine from the uouth have advanced tho march 13 difficult at certain seasons of the year it is blistering hot and many miles would be through an arid des ert but ievertheless such a march is possible napoleon himself led his troops up thi3 way in his futile at tempt to reach constantinople for god said lest peradventure the peo- plo repent when they see war and they return to egypt but god led the people about by the way of the wilderness by the red sea the red soa is about 1350 miles long with an extreme breadth of 205 miles the deepest portion measuring 1200 fath oms it is located between egypt and arabia stretching from suez to the strait of babelmandeb why this body of water has been called tho red sea for the last two thousand years no one seems to konw the namo has been explained by the cor als within its waters by the color of the edomito and arabian mountains bordering its coast or by tho glow of the sky reflected in it gods ways are so often not our ways ours seem to be capable of the quicker results and less suffering but gods ways often appear so much lon ger than necessary and involve so much hardship and disappointment yet god always knows best wo see two evident reasons why in the good providence of god the near way wfs not chosen first the escaped slaves could not bear the sudden danger and fierce struggle in tho near way be cause of the powerful philistine peo ple against whom they would imme diately have to fight and for which they certainly were not prepared and tho children of israel went up armed out of the land of egypt lit erally they went up equipped see jo shua 114 412 and moses took the bones of jos eph with him for ho had straitly sworn the children of israel saying god will surely visit you and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you this was according to tho ex plicit orde of joseph just before his death gen 5025 26 see acts 716 faith in the promised land must also havo kept burning in tho hearts of somo israelites from one generation to another or the bones of joseph would have been forgotten would that all ol us in dying could leave buch legacies of ono kind or another that thoso who follow us especially our own children might therefrom do- rive strength for continually walking in the favour of the lord living the faithlife and they took their journey from succoth and encamped in etham in the edge of the wilderness the ex act position of succoth is not known but scholars are coming to believe that it was very near to or actually identical with the city of pithom in lower egypt on the banks of tho ca nal connecting tho nile- river with the red sea etham v as on the east of the isth mus of suez although its exact loca tion has not been determined and jehovah went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them tho way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light that they also might go by day and night tho pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night departed not from the people we are not to regard this miraculous phenomenon as consisting of two different pillars that appeared alternately one of cloud and tho oth er of fire there was but one pillar of both cloud and fire 1424 for even when hurting in the dark it is still called tho pillar of cloud 1419 or the cloud num 92l that it was a cloud with a dark side and a bright one causing darkness and nlso light ing the night consequently we have to imagine the cloud as tho zovering of the fire so that by day it appear ed as a dark cloud in contrast to the light of the sun but by night as a tlery splendour when this cloud had gone before tho army of israel it as sumed the form of a column but when it stood still above the taber nacle or came down upon it it most probably took the form of a round globe of cloud and when it separated y israelites from the egyptians at tho red sea we have to imagine it spread out like a bank of cloud form ing as it were a dividing wall in this cloud jehovah or the angel of god was really present with the peo ple of israel so that he spoke to mos es and gave him his commandments out of the cloud c f keil see for further references to this remark able phenomenon 16 199 2416 345 403438 lev 162 13 num 9 15 22 1 kings 819 neh 919 and psalm 7814 and when pharaoh drew nigh tho children of israel lifted up their eyes and behold the egyptians were marching after them and they were sore afraid and the children of is rael cried out unto jehovah from every human standpoint it was inevi table that israel should be afraid the egyptian army whatever its number was composed of trained sol diers well armed and used to war the 600000 israelite men above twen ty years it age were in the main unarmed ignorant of warfare and trained very imperfectly surrounded on three sides by water and desert and ground too rough for foot march es with the egyptian army complet ing this circle of obstacles utterly incapable of being overcome israel forgetting that god himself was om nipotent and that they were in this very placo by tho command of god turned against their leader in bitter est complaint the leader of any ex pedition is the one that always re ceives the bruat of criticism if there is failure he is severely blamed for it if there is hardship he is held re sponsible for it and

tho night that wee vvikla winkle opens in holly wood address a countrywide audi ence and then go home to bed with out seeing the picture this is more of a victory for shir ley than it is for radio executives all their money dd not interest mr and mrs temple who try to hold shirleys working hours down to a minimum but shirley heard talk on tho studio lot about this player and that one going on the radio and she began to wonder why she couldnt do it sho begged and begged finally mrs temple just had to let her do it thus with us to bring us forth out of egypt is not this the word that we spake unto thee in egypt saying let us alone that we may serve the egyptians for it were bettor for us to serve the egyptians tnan that we should die in the wilderness here is an utter lack of faith there is no turning to god but a shameful ex pression of helplessness and that so soon after god had powerfully mani fested his own ability to deliver from every power that was now threaten ing them we too have our pihahiroths when we reem absolutely shut in and helpless against tho circumstances which are surrounding us yet it is when the people of god are brought into the greatest straits and difficul ties that they are favoured with tho finest displays of gods character and acting and for this reason he oft- times leads them into a trying posi tion in order that he may the more markedlv show himself he could have conducted israel through the red sea and far beyond the reach of pharaohs hosts before ever the lat ter had started from egypt but that would not have so fully glorified his own name or so entirely confounded the enemy upon whom he designed to get him honour if we could only look upon a difficult crisis as an occasion of bringing out on our behalf the sufficiency of divine grace it would enable us to preserve the balance of our souls and to glorify god even in the deepest waters and moses said unto the people fear ye not stand still and see the salvation of jehovah which he will work for you today for the egypt ians whom ye havo seen today ye shall see them again no more for ever jehovah will fight for you and ye shall hold your peace nothing can be conceived nobler and finer than a servant of god standing out in absolute faith and confidence as against the unbelief and fear of a vast multitudo of people here over two million of them his own breth ren one thing the children of israel were not to do to fear two things they were commanded to do to stand still and i see what the lord would do for them what else could they do but stand still there was no power in israel that could havo ever over- come the circumstances arrayed as against the israelites that day it they were to be saved god must do it tho lord not only places himself be tween us and our sins but also be tween us and our circumstances by doing the former he gives peace of conscience by doing the latter ho gives peaco of heart and jehovah said unto moses whoreforo criest thous unto me but speak unto the children of israel that they go forward what a command to go forward when immediately in front of them was a great body of water when the circumstances seem tho most difficult and tho time most unripe then it is that god often com mands his people to advance may it not bo in theso very days when the church of christ seems to be growing weaker and weaker and its influence more and more circumscribed and its leadership loss and less able when there seem to bo no groat prophets in tho land when the people of god are indifferent that this is the time for a real advance led by the spirit of god cat more than farm pet hitlers name is worth 5637 vienna the haifeltaccd signa ture of adolf hitler on a sketch of the church in his native austrian village which
