Moses answered the people, “Do not fear! Stand your ground and see the victory the LORD will win for you today. For these Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you have only to keep still !" (Exodus 14:13-14)
God commanded Moses, "Lift up your staff and stretch out your hand over the sea, and split it in two, that the Israelites may pass through the sea on dry land. But I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them, and I will receive glory through Pharaoh and all his army, his chariots and his horsemen. The Egyptians will know that I am the Lord, when I receive glory through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen. The angel of God, who had been leading Israel’s army, now moved and went around behind them. And the Column of Cloud (Presence of Holy Spirit), moving from in front of them, took up its place behind them, so that it came between the Egyptian army and that of Israel. And when it became dark, the Cloud illumined the night; and so the rival camps did not come any closer together all night long. Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord drove back the sea with a strong east wind (signifies the Breath of Life of God's Holy Spirit) all night long and turned the sea into dry ground. The waters were split, so that the Israelites entered into the midst of the sea on dry land, with the water as a wall to their right and to their left." (Ex 14:16-22)
"For our battle is not against flesh and blood but with the evil spirits in the heavens; for, although we are in the flesh, we do not battle according to the flesh, for the weapons of our battle are not of flesh but are enormously powerful, capable of destroying fortresses. We destroy arguments and every pretension raising itself against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive in obedience to Christ, (Eph 6:10, 2 Cor 10:4-5)

The Triumphant Song of Moses & the Israelites!
Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD!
I will sing to the LORD, for He is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot He has cast into the sea.
My strength and my refuge is the LORD, and he has become my savior. This is my God, I praise him; the God of my father, I extol him. The LORD is a Warrior - LORD is his name! Pharaoh’s chariots and army he hurled into the sea; the elite of his officers were drowned in the Red Sea.
The flood waters covered them, they sank into the depths like a stone. Your right hand, O LORD, magnificent in power, your right hand, O LORD, shattered the enemy. In your great majesty you overthrew your adversaries; you loosed your wrath to consume them like stubble. At the blast of your nostrils the waters piled up, the flowing waters stood like a mound, the flood waters foamed in the midst of the sea. The enemy boasted, “I will pursue and overtake them; I will divide the spoils and have my fill of them; I will draw my sword; my hand will despoil them!”
When you blew with your Breath, the sea covered them; like lead they sank in the mighty waters.
Who is like you among the gods, O LORD? Who is like you, magnificent among the holy ones?
Awe-inspiring in deeds of renown, worker of wonders, when you stretched out your right hand, the earth swallowed them! In your love you led the people you redeemed; in your strength you guided them to your holy dwelling. The peoples heard and quaked; anguish gripped the dwellers in Philistia. Then were the chieftains of Edom dismayed, the nobles of Moab seized by trembling; all the inhabitants of Canaan melted away; terror and dread fell upon them. By the might of your arm they became silent like stone, while your people, LORD, passed over, while the people whom you created passed over. You brought them in, you planted them on the mountain that is your own— The place you made the base of your throne, LORD, the sanctuary, LORD, your hands established.
May the LORD reign forever and ever! When Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen entered the sea, the LORD made the waters of the sea flow back upon them, though the Israelites walked on dry land through the midst of the sea. Then the prophet Miriam, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, while all the women went out after her with tambourines, dancing; and she responded to them: Sing to the LORD, for He is gloriously triumphant; horse and chariot He has cast into the sea!" (Ex 15:21)
