“The Lord Shall Destroy the Tongue of the Egyptian Sea”

Bryan Richards
"The word tongue should be translated 'gulf.' This phrase recalls the occasion when Moses and the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry ground (Ex. 14:21-22), an event that anticipates the gathering in the last days, when no powerful nation, mortal tyrant, or army will stop the promised events of the gathering of the saints around God's standard." (Donald W. Parry, Jay A. Parry, and Tina Peterson, Understanding Isaiah, 124 as taken from Commentaries on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, ed. by K. Douglas Bassett, [American Fork, UT: Covenant Publishing Co., 2003], 188)
"As the Lord smote the tongue of the Egyptian sea in ancient days, and caused his people to go through on a highway in the midst of those mighty waters which stood like walls on each side of the assembly of Israel. So in the latter days he will not only cut off the tongue of the Egyptian sea, but the river in its seven streams will also be divided and men will go through dryshod, This is the testimony of the prophets concerning the events that are to take place when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled." (Journal of Discourses, 14:66 as taken from Commentaries on Isaiah in the Book of Mormon, ed. by K. Douglas Bassett, [American Fork, UT: Covenant Publishing Co., 2003], 190)
