This is almost overwhelming when you think about it.
You MUST read to the end
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 a mile long, would be required! !
Besides you must remember, they were out in the
desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in
cooking the food. This would take 4000 tons of wood
and a few more freight trains, each a mile long,
just for one day. 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 day and 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 require 35 days and nights to get through.
So there had to be a space in the Red Sea , 3 miles
wide so that they could walk 5000 abreast to get over in one night.
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.
