⁵ Ingabe iGibithe lingumsindisi okungathenjelwa kuye ukwedlula uJehova? Sengathi la maJuda angathembekile asezikhohliwe izigigaba ezaholela ekuzalweni kwesizwe sawo emakhulwini eminyaka ngaphambili. UJehova uyawabuza: “Ingabe eqinisweni isandla sami sesifinyele kangangokuba asikwazi ukukhulula, noma ingabe awekho yini amandla kimi okukhulula? Bheka! Ngokukhuza kwami ngomisa ulwandle; ngenza imifula ibe ihlane. Izinhlanzi zawo ziyanuka ngenxa yokungabikho kwamanzi, futhi ziyafa ngenxa yokoma. Ngembathisa amazulu ngokusitheka, ngenza indwangu yesaka ibe yisembatho sawo.”—Isaya 50:2b, 3.

⁷ UJehova wavimba abaseGibithe ngokubeka insika yefu phakathi kwabo nama-Israyeli. Ohlangothini lwabaseGibithe lwefu, kwakumnyama; kolwama-Israyeli kwakukhanya. (Eksodusi 14:20) Njengoba-ke amabutho aseGibithe ayevinjiwe, uJehova “waqala ukuhlehlisa ulwandle ngomoya wasempumalanga onamandla ubusuku bonke waguqula ulwandle lwaba umhlabathi owomile.” (Eksodusi 14:21) Kwathi angahlukaniswa nje amanzi, bonke abantu—amadoda, abesifazane nezingane—bakwazi ukunqamula uLwandle Olubomvu bephephile. Lapho abantu bakhe sebezofika osebeni olungaphesheya, uJehova walisusa ifu. Bebajaha, abaseGibithe baphulukundlela bangena olwandle. Lapho nje abantu bakhe sebephumele ngaphesheya bephephile, uJehova wawadedela amanzi, aminzisa uFaro namabutho akhe. UJehova wabalwela kanjalo-ke abantu bakhe. Yeka isikhuthazo okuyiso lokhu kumaKristu namuhla!—Eksodusi 14:23-28.
