In the Song of Moses in Exodus 15, Egypt's destruction is celebrated as God's triumphant victory over Pharaoh and his army at the Red Sea. God's power parted the sea for Israel's escape, then drowned the pursuing Egyptian forces as the waters returned, obliterating them completely. The song describes God's fury consuming them like stubble, showcasing His unmatched holiness and ability to work wonders. The narrative further details Egypt's might shattered, with every soldier, chariot, and horse destroyed, affirming God's supreme control over nations and creation. While Pharaoh's personal fate remains unspecified, the annihilation of his army stands as a testament to God's sovereignty and omnipotence. Also see sermons and articles about 'Egypt, Destroyed'.
Exodus 10:7 Then Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not yet know that Egypt is destroyed?”
