v.19            1.            To the enemy it prevents, to God’s own it prevails.
                        (and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and stood behind
                         them.)

v.20            2.            To the enemy it is a curse, to God’s own it is a blessing.
                        (and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these,)

v.24            3.            To the enemy it is a hindrance, to God’s own it is God’s presence.
                        (And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the 
                        host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled   
                        the host of the Egyptians.)

v.24            4.            To the enemy it is a limitation, to God’s own it is liberty.
                        (troubled the host of the Egyptians,)

v.25            5.            To the enemy it is a threat, to God’s own it is a testimony.
                        (And took off their chariot wheels, that they drove them heavily; so that the
                        Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth for    
                        them)

v.25            6.            To the enemy it is control, to God’s own it is comfort.
                        (for the Lord fighteth for them against the Egyptians.)

v.28,            7.            To the enemy it is destruction, to God’s own it is freedom.
   29                  (waters covered the chariots…walked upon dry land.)
                        The cloud stopped because it was no longer needed. Once free from
                        bondage God’s people were free to follow a new way of leadership.

                        A picture to New Testament believers of entering into grace from sins’
                        bondage.
