Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 FW: Moses - This is Amazing GOD IS NOT ONLY GOOD..... HE IS AWESOME ! This has great sound! AWESOME This is almost overwhelming when you think about it. You MUST read to the end: (smile) Moses and the people were in the desert, but what was he going to do with them? They had to be fed, and feeding 2 or 3 million people requires a lot of food. According to the Quartermaster General in the Army, it is reported that Moses would have to have had 1500 tons of food each day. Do you know that to bring that much food each day, two freight trains, each at least amile long, would be required! Besides you must remember, they were out in the desert, so they wouldhave to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4000tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just for oneday. And just think, they were forty years in transit. And Oh yes! They would have to have water. If they only had enough to drink and wash a few dishes, it would take 11,000,000 gallons each dayand a freight train with tank cars, 1800 miles long, just to bring water! And then another thing! They had to get across the Red Sea at night. Now, if they went on a narrow path, double file, the line would be 800 miles long and would require35 days and nights to get through. So there had to be a space in the RedSea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to get over in onenight. But then, there is another problem...............each time they camped at the end of the day, a campground two-thirds the size of the state of Rhode Island was required, or a total of 750 square miles long........ think of it! This much space for camping. Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I think not! You see, Moses believed in God. God took care of these things for him. Now do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs? I asked the Lord to bless you As I prayed for you today. To guide you andprotect you as you go along your way.... His love is always with you, His promises are true, And when we give Him all our cares, You know Hewill see us through. Our God is an Awesome God!! So when the road you're traveling on seems difficult at best, just remember I'm praying and God will do the rest. Pass this to at least 10 people you want God to bless, and don't forget to send it back to the one who asked God to bless you first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Of course, this is thought-provoking, but where does it say there were 2 or 3 million people? Feeding even a much smaller number would have been an awesome task, but I'd bet there were perhaps 2 or 3 THOUSAND, if that much. Any Bible scholars out there?
