Heretics what are they going to say listen there was a wind a wind came and that's how the ocean split like we saw on Discovery Channel the children of Israel see that the Egyptians are uh there and they cry out to a and uh even uh show us the first uh impression of what Jewish sarcasm is by telling Moshe is it because there are no graves in Egypt that you let us out here to die in the wilderness uh so here we see the Jewish humor the Jewish sarcasm but at the same token this is really coming uh from uh you know from Fear now on one hand you would ask yourself how could it be that they're afraid of these Egyptians didn't they see Hashem destroy them over the last year wasn't a one two three thing this was a period of a year one plague after another one Miracle after another how is it that all of these miracles did not give you full and you know this actually answers the age-old question of why doesn't hasem uh show himself today make big Miracles today in order to encourage people to believe in him and this is the perfect example is that big miracles do not force people to change their lives and needless to say they do don't even encourage many people to change their lives why because as soon as a person sees a miracle if they have a heretical genes then they're simply going to justify that Miracle with some type of logical argument yeah just like we see in yamu later on we'll see in yamu that it talks about how uh sent a Eastern wind uh and before the the ocean split so this was really a verse for the Heretics this was a verse for the Heretics that uh don't want to believe in a and the Heretics what are they going to say listen there was a wind a wind came and that's how the ocean split like we saw in Discovery Channel those are the Heretics the Heretics that will always find an excuse uh you know on the other hand the people that are not necessarily heretical but they also don't want to necessarily change their life what happens they see the miracle and uh you know after a little while the miracle gets older and older and before you know it the next lust that they have the next possibility for them to steal something or take something that doesn't belong to them uh or do something that's forbidden according to the Torah suddenly the miracle uh becomes smaller and smaller until it's forgotten therefore we see from there in many other places in the that miracles do not make people do cha honesty help countless people get closer to because For the First Time in their life they hurt honesty Hy that's brutal but is effective is effective
