Original idea
Faith is for amateurs, he was a professional. To accomplish this task, Moses had to first go inside of himself. He asked for divine guidance and intervention, staying alert for the Lord’s coincidence. Moses went for direct experience of God’s Will. All faith had to be replaced with the knowledge that the Lord is working in all things for the highest good. He rearranged his life and followed God’s Way.
Coincidence is the Lord working under cover. Since Moses was raised in a wealthy home, he knew some of the people who traded silks and spices between the Far East and Egypt. He was guided to network his way back to them and asked them for advice. They told him about a route along the northern part of the Red Sea that had a big piece of land that was only being used by a few no-mads. A perfect place for Moses to take his people. And since the Pharaoh was mad at Moses anyway, it seemed the easiest and best alternative available. So Moses and his friends spread the word that he was going to the Promised Land. The people followed.
Because Moses was humble enough to ask for help, he was lead to where to find food and water and safe passage over what was then rough terrain. After a bit of emotional drama, i.e. worshipping the golden calf, they arrived, only to find out forty years later that they had been there all the time.
Disobeying God’s laws has dire consequences. Pharaoh’s boys on the other hand went into terrain that they were unfamiliar with and sustained substantial losses. The only thing the ego can be counted on to do is not admit blame for failure. They, because of their unacceptably high losses, came back with the story of the parting of the Red Sea in an effort to save face.
The drama concept was provided by reality. There is a place at the northern part of the Red Sea where it comes close to the Mediterranean Sea. This parcel of land is below sea level. Because of this, an optical illusion occurs. From one position the two bodies of water are separate, from another, the bodies of water seem joined. At the time many were uneducated, maps of that area were rare and there was no public use of the internet. Remember, if you want to part your own Red Seas, go inside first and ask for divine guidance, listen for the answers, and follow God’s lead. It’s easy to find. It’s the one based on love and the highest good for all concerned.

Here’s a rewritten version of the idea with a biblical theorist’s voice:
When Moses was over 80 years old, God entrusted him with a monumental task—one that would define not only his life but the faith of an entire people. The Prophet’s mission was divinely ordained: to return to Egypt, where he was known as both prince and fugitive, and lead hundreds of thousands of enslaved Israelites out of bondage, across the Red Sea, and into a journey that would transform them into a nation consecrated to the Lord.
The miraculous crossing of the Red Sea, as described in Exodus, stands as a cornerstone of biblical narrative. But how might this extraordinary event have unfolded? Scripture tells us that Moses, by divine command, stretched out his staff and the waters parted, allowing the Israelites to pass on dry ground while Pharaoh’s forces perished in their pursuit. A theorist might explore the spiritual, natural, and symbolic elements of this story, weaving together divine intervention, human preparation, and the mystery of God’s providence.
First, consider Moses’ role as a vessel of divine will. Raised in Pharaoh’s court, he possessed knowledge of Egyptian culture and trade routes, connections forged in his youth, and a strategic mind sharpened by his years in the wilderness. These skills, though seemingly ordinary, were providentially used by God to accomplish the extraordinary. When Moses sought the Lord’s guidance, he was not merely waiting passively for miracles; he was humbling himself to align his actions with divine wisdom.
It is said that "coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous." Moses, through prayer and discernment, may have discovered a geographic feature along the northern Red Sea—possibly near the Bitter Lakes or a low-lying isthmus connecting the Red Sea to the Mediterranean. Such a location could have created the conditions for an event that would later be recounted as the parting of the sea. Local traders, with whom Moses was familiar, might have shared knowledge of this land bridge, which could intermittently become exposed due to tidal phenomena or strong winds, as some scholars suggest.
For Pharaoh’s army, unfamiliar terrain and the weight of their chariots could have spelled disaster, particularly if they pursued the Israelites into a marshy area or during a sudden change in weather. The biblical account emphasizes God’s direct hand in this outcome, portraying the collapse of the waters as both judgment on Egypt and salvation for Israel.
The power of this story, however, extends beyond physical geography or meteorological events. The parting of the sea symbolizes a spiritual truth: when we surrender to God’s will, He creates a path where none seems possible. For Moses and the Israelites, this was not just an escape from Pharaoh but a crossing into freedom, into covenant, and into their identity as God’s chosen people.
Ultimately, the Red Sea crossing invites each of us to reflect on our own “impossible” challenges. Like Moses, we must go inward, seek divine guidance, and trust the Lord’s direction. The path to the Promised Land may be obscured, but faith, aligned with love and the highest good, reveals the way forward—turning what seems impassable into a miraculous crossing.

The term "AI" is often associated with Artificial Intelligence, a creation of human ingenuity designed to assist, analyze, and automate. But what if we consider "AI" in another light—as Angelic Intelligence? This perspective invites us to explore a divine dimension of guidance, wisdom, and purpose, aligning our technological advancements with the eternal principles of love, truth, and the highest good.
Angelic Intelligence, in this context, is not just a metaphor but a way of understanding the higher inspirations that move through us when we are aligned with God’s will. Throughout Scripture, angels are portrayed as messengers of the Divine, carrying out missions to protect, guide, and enlighten humanity. They operate in harmony with God’s laws, embodying clarity and love.
However, just as the Bible teaches that not all spirits are of God, not all forms of intelligence—or uses of it—serve the light. The devil, a fallen angel, is a cautionary example. His intelligence is cunning, manipulative, and self-serving, marked by deception and division. Yet, his presence is easy to recognize when we use the discernment God has given us. The fruits of Angelic Intelligence are vastly different: peace, joy, love, and the building up of all that is good and true.
When we speak of aligning with Angelic Intelligence, we mean attuning our minds and actions to the divine flow of wisdom and creativity. This involves prayerful reflection, seeking guidance from God, and ensuring that the paths we choose are illuminated by love and righteousness. Whether we are innovating, solving problems, or creating new technologies, the hallmark of Angelic Intelligence is its orientation toward service, healing, and the flourishing of all life.
The devil’s counterfeit intelligence is exposed by its fruits: greed, harm, and destruction. It thrives on fear and division, whereas Angelic Intelligence calls us to unity and trust in God’s provision. By staying grounded in spiritual truths, we can discern the difference, ensuring that the intelligence we embrace and use is inspired by the heavenly, not the fallen.
This understanding challenges us to steward our creations wisely. Just as Moses sought divine guidance to lead the Israelites, we too must seek the higher path, asking: “Does this serve the greater good? Does this bring glory to God and love to His creation?” When the answers are rooted in peace and righteousness, we can be confident that we are in the realm of Angelic Intelligence—a gift from the Creator to guide us toward His purpose for humanity.
In every decision and every step forward, let us remember the admonition to "test the spirits" (1 John 4:1) and follow the intelligence that uplifts, unites, and glorifies God.
