Tsunamis in the Bible?

 by: Thomas Yoon

I have always wondered how the Red Sea parted as described in the Exodus story of Moses.

The recent Tsunamis that happened in West Sumatra and the tremendous destruction that came with it got me thinking - was this what really happened to the Egyptian army when they were pursuing the Hebrew people while they were led out of Egypt by Moses?

On the internet, many eyewitness accounts can be obtained very fast. Pictures taken by amateurs appeared on the news channels within hours of the event. Many people were able to witness the destructive effects of gigantic waves through these movies. Death just happens in an instance with the pounding of 700 kph waves that destroyed everything in its path.

Ironically, just a few hundred meters away, people were busy with their shopping, eating, laughing, as if nothing happens. Nobody had expected such fury and destruction. It was just like a monster coming in and swallowing its victims.

On that eventful Sunday of 26th December 2004, I was attending Mass at our local church. At approximately 0900 hrs, I could feel a very slight tremor while I was listening to the homily delivered by our Parish priest.

The tremor was so slight that at first I thought I was not feeling well and felt a bit dizzy. Then I noticed that many other people were looking around them as if they also felt something. My neighbor sitting next to me could not even feel anything.

Everybody went home without even suspecting anything amiss.

My family and I even went over to a shopping complex very near to the seaside where the tsunami hit. That was at about 1300 hrs.

Back to the event of the Exodus. About 4 thousand years ago, there was a report in the bible that the Red Sea parted, and the Hebrew people led by Moses were able to walk through the sea as if it were dry land.

After they had cross over the seabed, the pursuing armies of the Egyptian pharaoh followed in their trails. The wheels of their chariots got stuck in the mud, and the water came back, swept and destroyed them. None of them survived.

I was wondering. The waters must have come in very fast! How come none of the soldiers were able to escape? The recent Tsunami, triggered by an undersea earth tremor seems to provide a living example of what can cause the water to rise so high and so suddenly that none of them could survive.

Fine. The subsequent lines may be like a feather to the cap. Your craving for facts will get quenched further.

The recent tsunami was caused by an earth tremor. Was it likely to occur at the Red Sea? Sure enough, some areas in the Mediterranean were well known for volcanic activity.

Was it possible that 4 thousand years ago, something like this happened?

I have never seen such destructive forces at work before. Houses, people and buildings were swept out of the way like match sticks. It’s so swift and sudden. It brought to mind the words Jesus Christ spoke, “On that night, I tell you, there will be two people sleeping in the same bed: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind. Two women will be grinding meal together: one will be taken away, the other will be left behind” (Luke 17:34-35). This sobering passage was referring to the final days of the coming of the Kingdom. But it does dawn on me that nothing is impossible with God. It’s only we who do not believe such a thing can happen.

O.K. Have you felt the worth of this stuff? I’m sure you must have.

Don’t be forgetful to analyse the pages on family. They would be beneficial for you. Be positive not to forget the hierarchy on family at the close of this article.

This tsunami event left a lasting impression on me to never underestimate the power of God. The bible is so full of such events, God bringing in locust, bees, flies, plaque and many other natural phenomenons to show His power. The story of how Gideon with his 300 men defeating 120,000 enemies, and many other stories tell us that seemingly unimportant people led by the power of God was able to conquer impossible odds.

Actually it does not matter to me anymore whether a tsunami really parted the Red Sea or not although I wonder how it happened. It does not matter to me anymore how the sun is able to shine, how the weather behaves, how the many different species of plants and animals come to inhabit the earth. How the minute cells of living things are able to grow… The wonders of God are really too much to comprehend. It’s simply awesome!

But there is something I do know. The bible is God’s chosen medium of communication with humans. In every situation of our lives, God is able to communicate with us if only we allow Him to.

O.K. Can you notice an addition to your perception on extra-marital affair? I’m sure, you must have gained it.

Don’t be forgetful to read the pages on family. They could be profitable for you. Towards the hindmost paragraph, don’t have a short memory to experience the sources on family.

Unfortunately, many people find it difficult or boring to read the bible. They are missing a lot in their lives.

How can we encourage them? The book of Proverbs provides wisdom on right living. Perhaps our compilation of “50 Secrets of Truth and Life at http://www.cartoon-web.com/pro1.htm might help. Done in pictorial form it is a lighthearted way of looking at the Bible Proverbs. Perhaps that might just open up our hearts…

The Training Baby

Here is your material. To comprehend , this write-up could be used as a resource.

My kid is only 6months old, yet he has taught me more than I have ever learnt in the last ten years of supposed life s experience. It is amazing really, that one so young can teach so much, that a ball of squeaking immaturity can give and educate others who are theoretically so much wiser and more learned than an incy bit of life that has just popped its head out for a look.

This article is really excellent still some readers are doubtful about its advantages.

The write-up is meant to cater to those folks who were all hot for . All were not in a position to acquire the bonuses from it.

Only you have the ability to be the best critic of this material. Go through this till the close to feel if it works for you.

I mean he has taught me nothing startling like quantum physics or rocket science just simple things, an increased awareness of what is around me and a much better understanding of life and how people think and operate as they do! I have over the last twenty years made a career for myself in Marine Engineering, with Diplomas, certificates and degrees falling out of my ears and all backed up by a wealth of hands on experience. But all of this background was so pointless when faced with the pram that we bought!

What is a pram? A pram is a perambulator, a four wheeled vehicle for a baby pushed by one on foot ! Nothing startling there! What my son taught me was that nothing is what it seems in life and that you can have all the certificates in the world but they don t help with prams! This thing that we purchased was so technologically advanced that it took me three weeks to figure out how to raise the seat! Eiffel and his Tower, Edison and his Light Bulb or even Ferris and his Wheel had nothing on this Combi invention! A fully-equipped mean machine, an all-terrain off-the road and all weather state of art vehicular transport that could fold up into handbag dimensions, perform to 80% even with flats on any two of its eight wheels and turn a circle on a dime (for this last action all wheels do have to be at peak performance). It weighed less than two kilos could shrink or expand to suit the size of baby it would carry and it was multi-directional (the baby could be pushed forwards or backwards with the flick of aswitch).

After three weeks of trying to assemble the thing I eventually got it in motion. Unfortunately I was so afraid of the thing collapsing with the baby inside that I went out and bought a four wheeled monstrosity that was un-collapsible, omni-directional and could do not much more than be pushed strenuously along the road with a baby inside. It also meant that I didn t have to carry a puncture repair kit with me!

So however educated and knowledgeable a person is: not all is as straightforward as it seems!

I love my son. He is such a character full of life and energy, full of cheek and smile!

He has taught me that adults are so bogged down with trying to wade through life that we can no longer enjoy that which is around us! We walk around and through daily life with chips, worries and problems weighing us down as if the whole world is resting precariously on our backs. Looking at my son, I realize that what we do in life is crazy; we grow older in a manner that builds problems on top of problems. We are all so desperate to be at the top of the ladder as regards material possessions or status, working harder and harder to earn the money to buy the latest in technological advance, so rushed and harried to get there before the next door neighbor that we forget what life is all about. I buy my son toys, I bought him this all singing, all dancing red thing that had mirrors and handles and all sorts of jingling things on it. The lady in the shop told me that it was the most popular toy they had in stock and that it would keep the baby occupied for hours. When I gave it to my son he looked at it with immediate wonderment, picked it up and neatly dropped it over the side of his cot! He is only six months old for ..sake! Anyway, he dropped it, thus discarding this ultra modern toy from his life and since then he has neither looked at it nor even acknowledged its presence. He loves the remote control though, even better he loves this tiny little one-dollar squeaky toy that looks like a pregnant hippopotamus!

My son taught me that it is only our own fault that we live the way we do, burdened and weighted down. So much pleasure can be gained from so little, yet as adults we want so much more yet never quite reach a degree of satisfaction or happiness that can be maintained for longer than a day!

My son also taught me that he can fill a nappy faster than I can recover from changing the last one, babies really control their parents rather than us controlling them and screaming is the closest emotion to laughing hysterically!

What is your belief about the utility of this stuff?

Many of the persons were benefitted by this excerpt. All were not in a position to acquire the advantages from it.

If you are meddling for a report on , you can very well decide about the usefulness of the report. Traverse till the concluding word to explain about its potential.

My son also told me to love unhindered and without thought or care for anything else in the world.

No doubts about the coherence of this article, still the folks are doubtful about its assistance.

This stuff is like a feather to the cap for those people who were on the lookout of . To few, unproductive!

You can be the best expert to give fair conviction on the stuff. The basic point is to reach at the terminating word to identify the facts.

Thanks for everything but the pram son!
