  Hello friends! Welcome back to Wonderfully Made,
• 0:04
  Bible Stories for Children. I'm so excited you're
• 0:09
  here. Last time, we saw how God sent signs and
• 0:13
  plagues to Pharaoh, showing his power when Pharaoh
• 0:17
  refused to let the Israelites go. Today, we'll
• 0:22
  hear the most amazing part of the story. how
• 0:26
  God finally led his people out of Egypt. It's
• 0:30
  a story of courage, miracles, and a God who makes
• 0:34
  a way when there seems to be no way. Are you
• 0:38
  ready? Let's jump in. After nine plagues, Pharaoh
• 0:54
  still said no. But God told Moses that one more
• 0:59
  plague would finally change everything. That
• 1:02
  night, the oldest son in every Egyptian family
• 1:06
  would die. But God gave special instructions
• 1:10
  to the Israelites so they would be safe. Each
• 1:14
  family was to take a perfect lamb, prepare a
• 1:18
  special meal, and put some of the lamb's blood
• 1:21
  on the doorframe of their house. This was called
• 1:25
  Passover, because God would pass over the homes
• 1:28
  of the Israelites and none of them would die.
• 1:31
  They would be protected. That night, just as
• 1:36
  God said, the plague came. In the middle of the
• 1:40
  night, a great sadness spread through Egypt.
• 1:44
  Pharaoh finally summoned Moses and said, Take
• 1:49
  your people and go. So the Israelites packed
• 1:53
  up and left quickly, more than 600 ,000 people,
• 1:58
  with their families and animals, walking out
• 2:01
  of Egypt together. God led them with a pillar
• 2:05
  of cloud to guide them on their way and by night
• 2:08
  a pillar of fire to give them light. But soon,
• 2:12
  Pharaoh changed his mind. He sent his army after
• 2:17
  them. The Israelites found themselves trapped.
• 2:21
  The Red Sea was in front of them, and Pharaoh's
• 2:24
  army was behind them. The people were afraid.
• 2:28
  But Moses said, Don't be afraid. Stand still,
• 2:34
  and see the salvation of the Lord. Then God did
• 2:39
  something incredible. He told Moses to stretch
• 2:43
  out his staff over the sea. Suddenly, a strong
• 2:46
  wind blew, and the water split in two. There
• 2:50
  were walls of water on both sides, and the Israelites
• 2:54
  walked through on dry ground. Pharaoh's army
• 2:59
  followed, but when all the Israelites were safe,
• 3:02
  God closed the sea, and the Pharaoh's entire
• 3:06
  army was swept away by the water. God had saved
• 3:10
  his people. God didn't just lead his people out
• 3:19
  of Egypt, he protected them every step of the
• 3:23
  way. When things looked impossible, he made a
• 3:27
  way. And he still does that for us. No matter
• 3:31
  how big the problem, God is bigger. And when
• 3:35
  we follow him, he never leaves us alone. Let's
• 3:40
  think about some things together. Have you ever
• 3:45
  faced a problem that felt too big to solve? What
• 3:52
  do you think it means to trust God even when
• 3:55
  you're scared? Can you remember a time God helped
• 4:02
  you through something hard? God is a good leader,
• 4:08
  a strong protector and a loving father. He still
• 4:13
  makes a way today. Thanks for joining me today.
• 4:19
  Next time, we'll hear what happens as the Israelites
• 4:23
  begin their long journey through the desert.
• 4:25
  What will they learn about God and about themselves?
• 4:30
  Until then, remember, you are wonderfully made,
• 4:34
  and God is with you every step of the way. Bye
• 4:38
  for now.
