"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you." — Isaiah 43:2
Have you ever found yourself at the edge of your own Red Sea? When obstacles tower before you like insurmountable walls of water, when time is running out, and all earthly hope seems lost? It is in these 11th hour moments—when we stand at the precipice of impossibility—that God reveals Himself most powerfully.
"The 11th Hour: Moses Parting the Red Sea" by Edwin Lester is a visual testimony of God's perfect timing. When the Israelites stood trapped between Pharaoh's army and the raging sea, it was their darkest moment, their 11th hour. Yet precisely then—not a moment too soon or too late—God made a way where there was no way.
In this powerful work of art, acclaimed artist Edwin Lester captures this miraculous moment when God's divine timing manifested through Moses. The scene illustrates that pivotal biblical truth we hold dear: our God is an on-time God who has never failed to show up when we need Him most.
This breathtaking artwork depicts Moses standing confidently atop a rocky outcrop, staff raised high toward heaven as the waters part forcefully around him. His flowing robes and commanding stance embody the unwavering faith that moves mountains—and in this case, seas. The dramatic contrast between the turbulent waters and the beam of divine light from above perfectly captures that critical moment when God made a way where there seemed to be none.
The rich, warm hues of amber and gold against deep blues and blacks create a visual testimony that God is indeed an on-time God—arriving precisely when needed, not a moment too soon, not a moment too late. Lester's masterful technique brings this scene to life with remarkable detail and emotional depth that speaks directly to the soul of believers.
Display this inspirational artwork in your home, church, office, or sanctuary as a daily reminder that with faith, the impossible becomes possible, and God will make a way out of no way.
