Although, Pharaoh is in pursuit and it looks as if the enemy is gaining, the L-RD will not fail to deliver Israel and keep His covenant promises! Blessed be His holy Name forever!<BR/><BR/>And the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them encamping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians were marching after them; and they were sore afraid; and the children of Israel cried out unto HaShem. (Exodus (Shemot) 14:9-10)<BR/><BR/>And Moses said unto the people: 'Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of HaShem, which He will work for you to-day; for whereas ye have seen the Egyptians to-day, ye shall see them again no more for ever. HaShem will fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.' (Shemot14:13-14)<BR/><BR/>Thus HaShem saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea-shore. And Israel saw the great work which HaShem did upon the Egyptians, and the people feared HaShem; and they believed in HaShem, and in His servant Moses. (Shemot 14:30-31)<BR/><BR/>Thou in Thy love hast led the people that Thou hast redeemed; Thou hast guided them in Thy strength to Thy holy habitation. The peoples have heard, they tremble; pangs have taken hold on the inhabitants of Philistia. Then were the chiefs of Edom affrighted; the mighty men of Moab, trembling taketh hold upon them; all the inhabitants of Canaan are melted away. Terror and dread falleth upon them; by the greatness of Thine arm they are as still as a stone; till Thy people pass over, O HaShem, till the people pass over that Thou hast gotten. Thou bringest them in, and plantest them in the mountain of Thine inheritance, the place, O HaShem, which Thou hast made for Thee to dwell in, the sanctuary, O L-rd, which Thy hands have established. HaShem shall reign for ever and ever. (Shemot 15:13-18)<BR/><BR/>Amen v' amen!Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04314783522635713681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5277958568963721007.post-77367816244360163782008-04-25T12:47:00.000-05:002008-04-25T12:47:00.000-05:00One of my favourite quotes by the blessed Rabbi Ka...One of my favourite quotes by the blessed Rabbi Kahane HY"D was:<BR/><BR/>"For so long as the Jew has even one ally, he will be convinced - in his smallness of mind - that his salvation came from that ally. It is only when he is alone - against all of his own efforts and frantic attempts - that he will, through no choice, be compelled to turn to G-d."<BR/><BR/>G-d is trying to make us see that there is none but Him. Israel, trust HaShem.<BR/><BR/>BTW, have you seen my new blog?Avihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06156322358503174356noreply@blogger.com
