Monumental Mathematics

“Moses and his 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 U.S. Army’s Quartermaster General, Moses would have needed 1,500 tons of food each day.

Do you know that to bring that much food to them daily would require two freight trains, each a mile long?! Besides, you must remember that they were out in the desert, so they would have to have firewood to use in cooking the food. This would take 4,000 tons of wood and a few more freight trains, each a mile long, just to supply them with firewood for one day. And just think, they were 40 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 1,800 miles long just to haul in the water!

Oh, and another thing! They crossed the Red Sea at night. Now if they only went double file on a narrow path through the sea, the line would be 800 miles long and would require 35 days & nights to get through, but they went through in one night! So, instead, they must have had a cleared, dry space in the Red Sea, 3 miles wide so that they could walk 5,000 abreast to get over in one night. But then, there is another problem.

Do you think Moses figured all this out before they left Egypt? I think not! You see, Moses believed in God, and God took care of all this for him.

Now, do you think God has any problem taking care of all your needs? May God bless you and keep you safe in His loving care.

“Only He who knew the height and depth of the love of God, could make it manifest. Nothing less than the infinite sacrifice made by Christ in behalf of fallen man, could express the Father’s love for lost humanity.”
