When it was time for Pharaoh to go under the Red Sea, and the Hebrews to be free, things got worse. The great ruler of Egypt would not listen to Moses and let the Jews go back to their homeland. He decided to double the work and the bondage, and demanded that they make bricks, but they were given no straw, and had to go out and find their own, and then make the same number of bricks. This was high taxation and inflation. It wasn’t long, however, that God showed up with the plagues and the crossing of the Red Sea, to show Himself strong on behalf of His people. He is coming, PRAY!!!
