i forgot that the miracle of the crossing of the Red Sea was done at night. Even though I've seen visuals of that wall of water at night, in my mind I always think of it as during the daytime. Perhaps it was lit up like daytime by that pillar of fire...
This was another massive miracle that I wish I could have seen. It must have been terrifying for those Egyptian soldiers to have the wall of water crash in on them. The next day all the Israelites saw the dead bodies of their pursuers on the shore, giving them reason for thanks for deliverance. It was finally over for them -- all the running and fleeing for their lives.
