After the Israelites had left the land of Egypt, Pharaoh regretted his action to have allowed them to leave. He re-grouped his soldiers to pursue the Israelites. The Isrealites encamped at Pihahiroth where they were overtaken by the Egyptian soldiers who rode on horses and chariots. When the Israelites saw them, they were afraid and they cried to the Lord for their safety. They said that it would have been better for them to die in the land of Egypt than to die in the wilderness.
Moses strengthened their faith by telling them not to entertain any fear, but to stand firm, for the Lord was with them and would fight for them. ” The Egyptians you see today will not be seen again tomorrow”, Moses assured his people. He cried to the Lord and he was told to stretch his rod over the sea. The Lord blocked the view and slowed down the movement of the Egyptians by the pillar of cloud which led the Israelites behind them. Moses did as the Lord had commanded him. He stretched his rod over the sea.
A great wind drove back the waters. The people of Israel crossed the sea on dry land. The Egyptians gave the Israelites a hot chase, but the wheel of their chariots could not move. Moses immediately followed the order of God and stretched his rod over the sea and the water returned. The Egyptian soldiers, their horses and chariots, who were already in the middle of the sea were all drowned and they perished. This is how God was victorious over Pharaoh and his army.

Hophni and Phinehas were the sons of Eli who was the priest of God at Shiloh. They were also priests of the Lord.
The Bible describes the children of Eli as worthless men who had no regard for the Lord. They committed several sins against the Lord. They disregarded the custom regarding sacrifice to the Lord and instead of taking their share, they took what the three-pronged fork could collect from the pot. Contrary to the custom, they demanded, with force, raw meat from those offering sacrifice, before the fat was burned. They lay with women who served at the entrance of the gate.
Though Eli warned his children about the above evils, he did not take strict measures to stop the children from the evil acts. As a result of his weak corrective measures, the children did not listen to him, but continued in their evil ways. The attitude of the children towards the Lord resulted in a man of God coming to Eli to prophesy doom for his house, stating that the priesthood would be cut off from Eli’s house and the family destroyed to the extent that no old man would exist in it for ever and any survivor of this disaster would beg bread from the new and faithful priests to be raised by God. As a sign for the fulfilment of the prophesy, the sons of Eli would die on the same day.

According to Prophet Joel who was one of several divinely appointed prophets of God, there would be an outpouring of the spirit of God upon all fresh . Sons and daughters would prophesy ,young men would see vision, old men would dream and the menservants would also prophesy.
On the day of Pentecost, the disciples were together in one place. Suddenly, a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and filled the house where they were sitting. Immediately, there appeared to them tongues as of fire, resting on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
The sound of the wind attracted a great multitude, including the Jews and devout men from different nations, who were then dwelling in Jerusalem. These people were amazed at what they saw, especially the foreigners who heard the disciples speaking in their own local languages. Strangely enough, the disciples were all Galileans. The people wondered, saying, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans?’ And how is it that we hear each of us in his own native language?’ They wondered at the situation, asking, ‘What does this mean?; But others who were there mocked them, accusing them of being drunk. This event shows the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy.

He told them to engage in honest conversation among the Gentiles so that even if they speak against them, their good works would force the Gentiles to glorify God.
Peter told them to subject themselves to every human institution whether it is the Emperor himself or the Governors that have been sent to reward those who do good and punish those who do wrong. According to Peter, if they do this, they will put to silence the ignorance of foolish men.
