0346. YE SHALL SEE THEM NO MORE.

YE SHALL SEE THEM NO MORE.

Exo_14:13.

The Israelites had their last look at their Egyptian enemies at the Red Sea. There is a time coming when all the people of God will see their enemies no more for ever. Learn that-

1. Great changes may come suddenly. To-day the foe is pressing them, to-morrow he will be overwhelmed in the deep. He that hardeneth his neck shall suddenly be destroyed.

2. Opportunities may quickly vanish. These Egyptians had seen much of the power and greatness of God, but they remained in wilful rebellion. Harden not your heart.

3. Self-confidence leads to ruin. "The Egyptians went after them," but in their own strength. They dug their own grave, they rushed into the place of doom. The wages of sin is death. The heart is deceitful above all things.

4. The Salvation of the believer is certain. "Ye shall see them again no more for ever." The besetting sins, the snares of the Devil, the lusts of the flesh, the pride of life, ye shall see them no more. Full and eternal deliverance is sure.

5. The separation between the believer and the unbeliever will be complete. "See them no more." The chaff will be driven away. The wheat and the tares will not always grow together. Judas went to his own place.

6. Salvation is of the Lord. The almighty supernatural power of Jehovah was needed to deliver the children of Israel. This saving power of God is now manifested in His Son. Christ is the power of God, He came to seek and save. "He is able also to save to the uttermost, those who come unto God, by Him" (Heb_7:25).

7. They had to stand still to see the Salvation of the Lord. Man can never make a way of deliverance through the Red Sea of his fathomless guilt. The Lord alone can roll these dark and deadly billows back. Stand still, cease from your works. "Behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world."

Unsaved ones, give earnest heed now to your Bibles, your Christian friends, and your privileges, or the time will come when you will see them again "no more forever."
