Why God Led Israel the Long Way: The Red Sea & The Pillar of Fire

In this Bible study on Exodus 12 and 13, Les Feldick explores the deep spiritual lessons behind the Israelites' departure from Egypt. Discover why God instructed them to use "hyssop" to apply the blood (a picture of the Holy Spirit) and how the "mixed multitude" that left with them caused problems later on—just as unsaved people can cause division in the church today. Les also explains why God led Israel the long way around to the Red Sea instead of the short route, the supernatural nature of the pillar of cloud and fire, and how the "spoiling of Egypt" was actually God providing back wages for years of slavery. 00:00 – Introduction & Ministry Overview 01:25 – Spoiling the Egyptians: God Provides Back Wages 01:59 – The Hyssop and the Blood: A Picture of the Holy Spirit 03:41 – Grace Has Appeared to All Men (Titus 2:11) 06:10 – Jesus is the Only Door to Salvation (John 10) 07:33 – Salvation is at "Ground Level" 10:29 – The Mixed Multitude: Trouble in the Camp 13:51 – Leaven as a Symbol of Sin & The 430 Years Explained 15:28 – Why God Led Israel the Long Way Around 18:16 – The Red Sea Crossing: A Logistical Miracle 21:05 – The Supernatural Pillar of Cloud and Fire Thank you for watching this lesson from "Through the Bible with Les Feldick."
