It directed Israel’s attention on the character of God, and it produced hope and confidence in God’s future protection and blessing. Who is like you—majestic in holiness, awesome in glory, working wonders? But it is incompatible when it comes to matters of faith. Ps. The reason why we fail to see many circumstances as occasions that require a spiritual solution (and therefore require faith as well) is because we are using the scientific method of reasoning, rather than the spiritual method of reasoning, which reasons according to God’s revealed will and in accordance with the character of God, as demonstrated in history. The spiritual method is different. The exodus event is a manifestation of God’s miraculous might, employed to achieve His purposes and to fulfill His promises. The winds are described as coming from the “nostrils of God” (v. 8). Exodus 14:27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and at daybreak the sea returned to its normal state.

Luke 9:31, where the “departure” which Jesus was discussing with His disciples was literally His “exodus”). 22-26).

By Israel’s protest against Moses, the people had revealed their lack of faith and hardness of heart. It also provided the mechanism for recording and recalling God’s great act of deliverance at the Red Sea. 2 “[ d]The Lord is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; Everything we do should be for the Glory of God! Ps. ( A) to the Lord: “I will sing. 2:25). Exodus 15:1, Today we are going to look at the song Moses and the Israelites sang as they worshipped and celebrated the victory God has given them. 6, 9, 12). Psalm 92:13), which is, as yet, not an element of Israel’s hope.160 The song could be referring to the promised land of Canaan as God’s “holy dwelling” (cf. God is our strength, the Israelites couldn’t have done it by themselves, God is our salvation, there is no other way to become saved but by Him, and we should exalt him! 1:8-9). 8, 10) caused the waters to part. 13-21). (1) The Israelites failed to see the relationship between the affirmation of their faith in their worship (vss. While this song was sung corporately as Israel’s expression of praise and thanksgiving for God’s deliverance from Egypt through the Red Sea, verses 1 and 2 express this praise in a personal and singular. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. The Song of the Sea is a poem that appears in the Book of Exodus of the Hebrew Bible, at Exodus 15:1–18. In one sense, the whole exodus event was somewhat of a secondary matter, a means for His people to possess the land of Canaan: “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. One does not, for example, design an airplane, load it full of people, and hope that it flies. Just and true are Your ways, O King of the nations! 15 1 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: "I will sing to the Lord, for he is highly exalted. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. This does not mean they had no water to drink, but their supplies would have been limited, and they would have had to ration them carefully. 13:21-22), and that God Himself was present with them in the cloud. In typical psalm-like fashion, the acts of God are viewed as evidences of His nature and character. Biblical history is not written to bore us with irrelevant details. Here is where the rubber meets the road. 22-26). Just as God led the Israelites to the waters of Marah, so He leads us in such a way as to give us ample opportunity to apply our faith, or at least to reveal our lack of faith. Another interesting note here is Moses sister Miriam was called a Prophet. Sighting the waters at Marah must have brought great rejoicing to the Israelites. The Lord is my strength and my song; He has become my salvation. Deut. While this chapter appears to have two very distinct accounts, there is good reason for the fact that Moses has placed them side by side. v. 3) over the Egyptians, the mightiest army on the face of the earth. The fierce resistance of the Canaanites was motivated, no doubt, by this fear. God proved this through the Exodus! Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. It is only when you experience this miracle of conversion that you will look for the miraculous hand of God to work in your life in the future. The Old Testament is therefore a rich source of faith-building history, which assures us of what God can do, based upon our knowledge of what God has already done. The exodus will serve as the basis for that treaty, as the early chapters of Deuteronomy will make clear. This verse concludes the first stanza of the hymn which may be divided thus: (1) God's Identity (Exodus 15:1-3); (2) God's Mighty Act in the Red Sea (Exodus 15:4-16 a); and (3) A Prophecy of what God will do Later (Exodus 15:16b-18).For Israel, this great song was somewhat like that which the "Star Spangled Banner" is to Americans. 15 Then Moses and the sons of Israel sang this song to the Lord, [ a]and said, “[ b]I will sing to the Lord, for He [ c]is highly exalted; The horse and its rider He has hurled into the sea. Josh. 15 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. As we come to the conclusion of the message, let me attempt to apply this text to a current problem, which I shall call the “charismatic problem.” Many contemporary charismatics are inclined to think and to teach that life can and will be lived on the spiritual mountain tops. 156 I have worded this statement carefully because there is no clear statement that Moses actually wrote this song. This assumes, of course, that we read the Old Testament with the “eyes of faith,” believing that these events did happen, as they were described. Hosea (takes up on the theme of Egypt) 7:16; 8:13; 9:3, 6; 11:5, 11. It served as a vehicle by means of which they could praise God. 15:3). Ultimately, we trust a person for his character, and not for his abilities. He did not keep them on the mountain. One of the main reasons for the Plagues of Egypt was God was revealing to Egypt their deities were false.

The Song of Moses. That which God sought to accomplish in the events of the exodus, He did accomplish, as seen by the praises of His people in this song. The “Song of the Sea” was obviously important to the Israelites who passed through the Red Sea, and who sang it as recorded in our text. It is my contention that God distinguishes between those matters which are holy and those which are profane, but not between those matters which are sacred and those which are secular. Exodus 15 - ESV: Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the LORD, saying, "I will sing to the LORD, for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider he has thrown into the sea. The future is so certain it can be described as already having occurred. In verses 9 and 10, the sovereignty of God is seen in His ability to prevail, as a mighty warrior (cf. Em seg, 19 de out de 2020 14:54, Unashamed of Jesus escreveu: > Unashamed of Jesus posted: ” Then sang Moses and the children of Israel > this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for > he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into > the sea. Exodus 15 Modern English Version (MEV) A Song of Moses. ( Log Out /  158 Davis reminds us that the description of the waters of the Red Sea is not consistent with the drying up of any shallow body of water: “The poetic description of Pharaoh’s defeat further substantiates the concept of a crossing where the water was relatively deep. To state the matter differently, the first half of the song dwells on the Egyptians’ defeat, while the second half focuses on Israel’s deliverance, especially that deliverance which was yet to come, the defeat of those enemies who would resist Israel’s possession of the land of Canaan, which God promised He would give them. If we do not look for God to work in miraculous ways, we may as well stop witnessing and trying to evangelize the lost. As the arm of the Lord enabled Israel to pass through the Red Sea, so the Israelites will pass through their enemies (15:16). Ps. Découvrez Exodus 15: Song of Miriam de Mel Kennedy sur Amazon Music.

I will give it to you as a possession. Thus, either by a direct reference or by an allusion, the exodus is constantly drawn upon as a symbol and source of hope for Israel’s future deliverance.163. Thy right hand, O LORD, is become glorious in power: thy right hand, O LORD, hath dashed in pieces the enemy. We, too, come to know God more intimately and more fully in the midst of the trials which He leads us through. Exodus 15:1 Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Moses' Song of Deliverance ... At the close it is probable that Miriam, with her chorus of women, took up the refrain of Exodus 15:1, and slightly modifying it, sang, as recorded in Exodus 15:21, "Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath glorified himself gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea." On the basis of this statement, some have suggested that Aaron and Miriam had the same father as Moses, but that Moses was the child of another wife. 15:1-4). The New International Version clearly underscores the shift from the past defeat of the Egyptians to the future defeat of Israel’s enemies by consistently rendering the verbs of verses 13 and following in the future tense.159 Thus, while verses 1-12 have dwelt on God’s past deliverance of His people, verses 13-21 look to His future deliverance of the Israelites. Exodus 15:4-7. They did not hesitate to place the responsibility for this blunder squarely on the shoulders of their leader—Moses. 1. God’s sovereignty is evidenced by His control over the forces of nature (e.g. What God intended for His people to learn from the miracles of the exodus is exactly what they concluded, as indicated in the song which they sang. 6:6, 8). The depths have covered them: they sank into the bottom as a stone. The Song of the Sea was reputedly sung by the Israelites after their crossing the Red Sea in safety, and celebrates the destruction of the Egyptian army during the crossing, and looks forward to the future … We sing, “O, for a Thousand Tongues,” and then, when someone makes fun of our faith, we are tongue-tied and cannot find any words to say concerning our faith. Here, Paul is teaching us that the joy of the Christian remains, and even grows, in the midst of trials and tribulation. 12:1–6sing to the Lord,For He has triumphed glorious … And I will bring you to the land I swore with uplifted hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. Exodus 15 - Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Now, the terrified Canaanites are prophesied to become “as still as a stone” (15:16). Both the men and the women seemed to have sung their own parts in this marvelous hymn of praise. We view God as being concerned only with the big problems of life, those which appear to be spiritual. The child was the son of the minister of a very liberal church. It is, however, rather strongly implied. Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea. Some have titled this song, the “Song of the Sea.” Since it is not the only song of Moses (cf. Ps. One of the contributing factors to our failure to apply our faith in our daily walk is that we tend to create false distinctions between those areas which are sacred (church, public worship) and those which are secular (work, daily living). (Mark 16:19) Moses is giving glory to Christ! The LORD is a man of war: the LORD is his name. 78:13; v. 11, cf. Israel should have been able to apply the faith she affirmed in the “Song of the Sea” to her dilemma at the waters of Marah, but she did not. In spite of their power and confidence, God simply “blew them away,” causing them to “sink like lead” in the sea (v. 10). In any case, I believe that the “holy dwelling” of God is a reference to the promised land, whether or not a particular place (either Mt. They demanded that Moses produce water for them, they did not cry to God for water. 160 Those who would argue for a late dating of this song would argue that the temple is in mind here. This is my God, and I will glorify Him, my father’s God, and I will exalt Him. If they persisted in protesting against Moses’ leadership, the inference is that God would plague His people as He had done to the Egyptians. That the enemies of Israel did fear is clear from the words of Rahab to the Israeli spies in Joshua 2:9-11 (cf. 15 The chiefs of Edom will be terrified. The transformation of the waters of Marah (which means “bitter,” cf. Stop. On the basis of God’s character (as consistent with biblical descriptions of His character elsewhere), the Christian then looks at any future circumstance as an opportunity for God to act in such a way as to achieve His purposes by overcoming both obstacles (like the Red Sea, or the hardness of men’s hearts) and opponents (like Satan, the antichrist, or the armies of men who have been deceived and used by Satan). There is a play on words evident in the second half of the “Song of the Sea,” which takes up some of the same expressions or imagery employed to describe the defeat of the Egyptians and uses them to apply to the defeat of the Canaanites. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us (Rom. 15 Then Moses and the people of Israel sang this song to the Lord, saying, ( B ) “I will sing to the Lord , for he has triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider [ a ] he has thrown into the sea. 4:4-7), 3. 2:24; 5:1; Deut. It is written in order to provide our faith with historical roots. In order for one to accept the account of the Red Sea on scientific grounds, the depth of the sea would have had to have been measured, the velocity of the winds calculated, and all other variables considered. Finer distinctions can be drawn, but there is less agreement as one becomes more detailed in the breakdown of the song. 106:12; Rev. Here, the scientific method must be set aside (not scrapped, but set aside).

(5) The exodus was, in the Old Testament prophets and in the New Testament gospels, a prototype of the greatest redemption of all, the redemption of men’s souls from bondage to sin, which was accomplished by the Lord Jesus Christ, the lamb of God (cf.
