When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people of strange language; Judah was his sanctuary, and Israel his dominion. The sea saw it, and fled: Jordan was driven back. The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs.
What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou fleddest? thou Jordan, that thou wast driven back? Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams; and ye little hills, like lambs? Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob; Which turned the rock into a standing water, the flint into a fountain of waters.
Strange yet appropriate similes. Can you comprehend the mountains skipping like rams? The little hills frolicking like lambs? The sea fleeing? The Jordan flowing upstream? A powerful force indeed! Nothing but the power of the presence of the God of Jacob that has the power to turn rock into standing water and flint into a fountain.
What a sight that will be. Truly worthy of “Awesome.”
