A viewer asks: “The story of the Book of Exodus said that Moses stretched out his hand across the Red Sea and the Lord sent a wind to part it into a wall on either side to allow the people of Israel to pass through. It goes on to say that the Lord allowed them to pass through on dry land, but then that Moses should pass his hand again so that the Egyptians would be consumed by the sea. Is this really what happened, and if so, was it you, Creator, who performed this miracle? I don’t understand the wrath involved here being from a loving God.”

This event is true and fairly well recorded in history by the accounts in the Scripture. This was a miracle and was done by yours truly in answer to prayer in preserving the life of the Israelites who were, indeed, fleeing oppressors and at risk of annihilation. So it was a genuine rescue that was deserved and in keeping with the high level of faith of those oppressed people, that God would help them. The assumption that the aftermath was an act of wrath or vengeance is a misinterpretation of divine intentions—it was the working of the Law of Karma—the pursuing army seeking the annihilation of the vulnerable people of Israel were lining up as perpetrators to experience a comeuppance that could well include their own demise, given the level of karmic debt owed through such acts of depravity as imprisoning and punishing and tormenting a people unjustly and egregiously. So we are never in a state of enjoyment when someone pays their karmic dues because it is always unpleasant and quite painful and we take no delight in the suffering of anyone, regardless of their past history. But sometimes events conspire to provide a comeuppance that can be quite disturbing and unpleasant and even lead to a fatal outcome because of prior actions and choices that bring people out of divine alignment, and the suffering they cause may be compounded through influencing many other individuals, because their victims have loved ones and then their family dynamics are changed forever by their absence, and so on. All of that extra suffering gets added in when the Law of Karma seeks a rebalancing, a restitution, and people are in a position where they lose something of great value. And it may well be fatal because of the vast accumulation of negativity that was set in motion by things they started in the past, perhaps not even realizing the full extent of the damage, but the Law of Karma will not let them off the hook simply because of their ignorance. So that was the dynamic here, it was not capricious or reckless and excessive punishment, but a measured and precise restitution being sought from the perpetrators by the Law of Karma that helped to orchestrate things in a way for that to be accomplished and, in that sense, was chosen by the perpetrators themselves in moving away from the light in the first place, and all that happened subsequently owing to their domination and subjugation of others.
