Egyptian Chariots in the Red Sea

Pharaoh’s Egyptian chariots are caught in terror as the waters of the Red Sea surge back over the path that had opened for Israel. Horses rear against the collapsing sea, a soldier flees from the wreckage, and another charioteer looks back toward the towering wave as the army that pursued God’s people is overwhelmed. The scene portrays the judgment and deliverance recorded in Exodus 14, when Moses stretched out his hand over the sea and the Lord returned the waters upon the chariots and horsemen of Egypt. The image emphasizes the central biblical contrast between human military power and the saving authority of God, making it suitable for teaching on the Exodus, divine deliverance, judgment, faith under pursuit, and God’s protection of His covenant people. by Jeff Preston
