While doing a study on the life of the apostle Paul, I began to wonder if he was actually named Saul after the 1st king of Israel. I began to make comparisons between the two and found several things that they had in common. The name Saul means "desired" while the name Paul means "little". It's interesting to think that Paul started off as Saul, or the one to be desired, but when God got a hold of him, he became Paul the little one. Sounds like the words of John the Baptist when he said of Christ, "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
In the classic film, "The Ten Commandments," Pharaoh watched his army, chariots and all, suffer complete destruction in the Red Sea after the children of Israel safely cross over. But is this the case? No, it is not. Although the text in Exodus 14:17-18 sounds like Pharaoh died there, we have more absolute proof in the Psalms. Paslm 136:15 states, "But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever." Pharaoh died with his army in the Red Sea. To parapharse Romans 3:4, let God be true and every movie be wrong.
