How Moses Parted the Red Sea
A theory by J. Nayer Hardin
There is a technique I've observed that both Moses and Harriet Tubman used it in their work.
I've been using it since the 1980's and though the path is not always easy, it always works for the good works that I do, not try, do.
Through prayer and meditation they asked, listened for and responded to what the Lord wanted them to do...their lists. Both were instructed to get their people out of bondage.
They were guided to the resources necessary to complete their tasks.
They stepped out in faith and courage.
They got the job done, the Red Sea parted, Tubman never lost a passenger.
Here's some more detail using the original Moses as an example.
Moses had a job to do. He had to get his people out of slavery and into the promised land of freedom. To accomplish this task, he had to first go inside of himself, quiet his mind, ask for divine guidance and intervention, then stay alert for the Lord’s coincidence. Prayer is always answered, even when the answer is no.
All faith had to be replaced with the knowledge that the Lord is working in all things for the highest good.
Since Moses was raised in a wealthy home, he knew the people who traded silks and spices between the Far East and Egypt. He was guided to network his way back to them and asked them for advice about how to move a large population quickly and to where.
They told him about a route along the northern part of the Red Sea that had a big piece of land that was being used by a few 'no-mads'... perfect place for Moses to take his people. And since the Pharaoh was mad at Moses anyway, it seemed the easiest and best alternative available.
So Moses and his friends spread the word that he was going to the Promised Land. The people followed.
Because Moses was humble enough to ask for help, he was told and possibly lead to where to find food and water and safe passage over what was then rough terrain. After a bit of emotional drama, they arrived, only to find out forty years later that they had been there all the time.
Pharaoh’s boys on the other hand went into terrain that they were unfamiliar with and sustained substantial losses. The only thing the ego can be counted on to do is not admit blame for failure. They, Pharaoh's Possie, soldiers, because of their unacceptably high losses, came back with the story of the parting of the Red Sea in an effort to save face.
The drama concept was provided by reality. It did look like the Read Sea parted.
There is a place at the northern part of the Red Sea where it comes close to the Mediterranean Sea. This parcel of land has places that are below sea level. A search on Google Earth will show you current sea levels but it will give you a feel for the land.
Because of this above/below sea level, an optical illusion occurs. From one position the two bodies of water are separate, from another, the bodies of water seem joined. Looks real, yet, just an optical illusion. At the time many were uneducated, maps of that area were rare and there was no mass media. So the story grew.
Harriet Tubman did the same thing thousands of years later. She prayed and meditated, was led to the already existing Underground Railroad structure, did her job and let the Lord take care of the rest.
Remember, to part your own Red Sea, go inside first through love, prayer and meditation, ask for divine guidance, listen for the answers, and follow The Lord’s lead. It’s easy to find. It’s the one based on love and the highest good for all concerned.
REMEMBER TO TITHE BASED ON PRAYER.
