"THE NUMBERS!!"

Exodus 14:5-9                      (ESV)

"5 When the king of Egypt was told that the (Israeli) people had fled, the mind of Pharaoh and his servants was changed toward the people, and they said, "What is this we have done, that we have let Israel go from serving us?"

6 So he made ready his chariot and took his army with him,

7 and took SIX HUNDRED CHOSEN chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt with officers over all of them.

8 And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the people of Israel while the people of Israel were going out defiantly.

9 The Egyptians pursued them, all Pharaoh's horses and chariots and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them encamped at the sea, by Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon."

Pharaoh (of Exodus 14) was the most powerful man on the face of the earth during his time.  He led his army to go after the Children of Israel AFTER he had released them only a short time earlier.  GOD's Plan was fulfilled explicitly as HE said in Exodus 14:4 "I WILL GET GLORY OVER PHARAOH AND ALL HIS HOSTS"!  Pharaoh had "the numbers" to capture the Children of Israel once again with no problem, but "the numbers" didn't add up in GOD's Plan!

The recorded history in THE HOLY BIBLE says that the most feared army in history went after GOD (dressed as the Children of Israel) and caught up with them at the Red Sea in Exodus 14:9!  Just when they had them trapped, GOD intervened!  And when GOD intervenes, there is NO DOUBT who is the loser!

Today, a certain world leader may think the office he holds grants him the authority to lead the "Egyptian Army" of today (Iranian Nuclear Deal) after GOD (dressed once again as the children of Israel and The Great Satan, the USA) with his nuclear deal, but GOD has never been defeated.   "The numbers" may be in favor of this bad deal, but GOD's Plan will NOT be derailed.  Not by Pharaoh and the Egyptian Army and not by any world leader and his "supposed" knowledge!  Once again, GOD WILL BE GLORIFIED, no matter who is in charge!  

Concluding for today, just as I'm sure there are many who didn't agree with Pharaoh's decision to pursue after the Children of Israel, the current Iranian Nuclear Deal has its STAUNCH opposition.  There are many biblical scholars who don't see the USA in end-time prophecy.  Nobody can say "they know" EXACTLY what GOD's Plan is for "the end of the age", but JESUS said in Matthew 24:9 "Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be HATED BY ALL NATIONS for MY name's sake".  Don't be alarmed when "this world" comes after me, for I am one of HIS!!!  They tried to put HIM to death, I should expect the same!!!
