Feeding the Israelites

I can't get it to format any better than this, but it's still good reading...........

 

Feeding the Israelites

 

So does anyone have questions about the oncoming Great Tribulation?

 

This should set our minds at ease. 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 1,500 

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 the 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 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 

1,800 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 & nights to get through. 

So there had to be a space in the Red Sea totaling 3 miles wide ~ so that they could walk  

5,000 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 just for camping!

 

Do you think Moses figured all this out before he left Egypt? I think not!! 

You see, Moses believed in Jehovah God and had Faith in Him! And Jehovah took care 

of these things for Moses!! 

 

Now, do you think Jehovah has any problem taking care of all of your needs?

 

May Jehovah continue to guide & protect you as you daily read His Word & apply His Principles in your life.

Jehovah has always provided for his people, no matter how vast the need of resources was. How else could we have congregations and ministers all over the world?

[Miss Bea]

Amen, sister. I think the Creator of the universe can see to our needs. Whatever they may be. Thanks for the reminder!

To think of how Jehovah will provide for and protect his people, and what acts of his power we may be witness to is thrilling to me... no doubt it is a story we will tell over and over for years to come 

 

 

thanks for the post Vernalee!
