Located
on the south wall of stained glass windows, the third window from the
front depicts another miracle taken from the Old Testament. The window
is called “Parting of the Waters at the Red Sea.” This historical
event is recorded in Exodus
14 and was so stupendous that many try to deny it ever happened! For
example, many say it was not the Red Sea, but the Reed Sea, sort of like
a marsh where people could go through without drowning. But then they
have to break the Word of God who says the Israelites went through on
DRY GROUND (not even muddy) and the Egyptian Army DROWNED...in marsh?
Our artist, Suzanne Spalding, even gave a hint of the greatest miracle
of all: the salvation of the sinful human race through the cross
upon which Christ paid with His suffering and death for the sins of
every human being who ever lived! Can you find the cross at the top of
the window near the top of the staff Moses is holding high. It is at the
bisection of the staff and lines of clouds! This staff is likely the one
which turned into a serpent in Pharaoh’s court, and touched the Nile
to turn it into blood. Now Moses uses it to quiet the fears of the
panicked children of Israel seeing deep waters in front and the Egyptian
Army pressing at the back. Notice how the artist has accomplished this
scene which occurred about 1500 BC. This is a beautiful window to
contemplate.
