LESSON – 8

THE PILLAR OF CLOUD AND THE PILLAR OF FIRE

 

God told Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt and to take them to a land called Canaan. But Pharaoh, the King of Egypt did not want to let go of the Israelites. So, God sent 10 plagues as punishments upon the Egyptians. The Pharaoh got scared and sent the Israelites away.

When the Israelites started their journey towards Canaan, God gave them special protection and He Himself went before them.

The Lord went before them in a pillar of cloud by day to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light. When the Israelites came out of Egypt, they had to cross the Red Sea on their way. When Pharaoh, the King of Egypt saw that the Israelites could not cross the Red sea, he chased after them on his chariots. When the Israelites saw the chariots, they were terrified and prayed to God.

The angel of God, who was travelling in front of the Israelites, withdrew and went behind them. The pillar of cloud also moved behind them separating the armies of Egypt and Israel.

Throughout the night, the cloud brought darkness to one side and light to the other side. God told Moses to stretch the rod in his hands. Immediately, a great wind separated the waters of the Red sea and there was dry land in between the separated waters. The Israelites walked through the dry land and crossed the Red sea.

The Pharaoh thought that he could also cross the red sea in the same way. God told Moses to stretch out his hand over the waters and the waters of the Red Sea closed. Pharaoh and his entire army were drowned in the Red Sea.

The Israelites thanked God for bringing them out of slavery and saving them from the evil king.
