The Pillar Of Cloud And
The Pillar Of Fire
Crossing the Red Sea
21And
the LORD went before
them by day in a pillar of
cloud to lead the way, and by
night in a pillar of fire to give
them light, so as to go by day
and night.
22
He did not take away the
pillar of cloud by day or the
pillar of fire by
night from before the people.
(Exodus13:21-22)
• About 2,000,000 of
Israelites followed the
two pillars for 40
years.
• When the pillar
moved, they followed
it. When it stopped,
they stopped.

the desert climate.
 The pillar of cloud during the day provided the
Israelites with shade from sun and helped to
cool the temperature down.
 The pillar of fire at night kept the Israelites
warm from the freezing cold weather.
 So the two pillars comforted the
people of Israel at day and night.

pillar to guide us .. but we have the Holy Spirit (the
comforter) inside us.

We should trust that the lord will choose the best for
us.
•
We should keep our eyes fixed on God, as the
Israelites kept their eyes fixed on the two pillars and
didn’t get lost in the desert.
•
Christ knows what we need and will give it to us at
the suitable time

Pray and say, Lord Jesus, I thank you because you
care for me.”
