I just wanted to share something I was talking with my friends over a year ago. I told them we are in a similar situation as the Israelites were in Egypt. They were enslaved and brought out by God and we have been under enslavement and now being brought out by God. I'd say we are currently stuck between the Red Sea and a charging Egyptian army, but remember God took them the long way around to prove He was the one who brought them out and remember all they did was complain!

Exodus 14:15-18 And the Lord said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward. But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea. And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen. Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

I could expand, but I'll try to keep it short. After all of the things God did to bring them out of Egypt, they turned back to Idols. Moses was only 40 days on the top of Mount Sinai when they were making Idols again. They were kept from the promised land because of it. Even Moses, he basically Idolized the staff and God said he could not enter. He used Arron's staff to turn into a snake, he used his staff to part the sea and bring water from a rock. When they were thirsty again, the Lord said SPEAK and Moses used the staff.

Numbers 20:7-13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “Take the rod; you and your brother Aaron gather the congregation together. Speak to the rock before their eyes, and it will yield its water; thus you shall bring water for them out of the rock, and give drink to the congregation and their animals.” So Moses took the rod from before the Lord as He commanded him.

And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, “Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?” Then Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their animals drank.

Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them.”

This was the water of Meribah, because the children of Israel contended with the Lord, and He was hallowed among them.

Why don't we call Q what it is, military intelligence. 1. Military is the only way and 2. Military intelligence spoke of how this is biblical. No idolatry or we may be kept from the promised land as well🙏
