The waters piled up

When God’s people needed to cross the Red Sea, it split in two. There were giant walls of water. A similar thing happened when they crossed the Jordan River.

 


 

THE RED SEA

 

With great action-faith, Moses stretched out his hand. And the LORD God caused a great miracle. The Red Sea split in two.

 

Exodus 14:21. Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided.

Exodus 14:22. The children of Israel went into the middle of the sea on the dry ground; and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

Exodus 15:8. With the blast of your nostrils, the waters were piled up. The floods stood upright as a heap. The deeps were congealed in the heart of the sea.

Psalm 78:13. He split the sea, and caused them to pass through. He made the waters stand as a heap.

Psalm 33:7. He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses.

Note. Some people claim the Red Sea was so shallow that the people waded through it. However, they didn’t wade through water. This Bible says they walked on dry ground!

 

THE JORDAN RIVER

 

Priests were carrying the Ark of the Covenant. When their feet touched the Jordan River, a great miracle took place. It split in two.

 

Joshua 3:13. It shall be that when the soles of the feet of the priests who bear the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, that the waters of the Jordan will be cut off. The waters that come down from above shall stand in one heap.”

Joshua 3:16. the waters which came down from above stood, and rose up in one heap a great way off, at Adam, the city that is beside Zarethan; and those that went down toward the sea of the Arabah, even the Salt Sea, were wholly cut off. Then the people passed over near Jericho.
