15:4-7
Remember that “host” essentially means “army”, so 15:4 says Pharaoh and his army were thrown into the sea. They drowned in the Red Sea. Anthropomorphic language is used when it speaks of God’s right hand. The key thing is that God is glorious in power and He shatters the enemy. God defeats His enemies. So when we see powerful evil forces at work in the world, then we should always remind ourselves that our God is more powerful, and that He will one day overthrow the enemy.
15:8-10
“At the blast of your nostrils ..” sees God as the one who sent the wind to pile up the waters of the Red Sea. God has control over the elements, as Jesus demonstrated when He stilled the storm, showing that He was God. We should not be overly concerned about what is in the enemy’s heart and mind (other than in knowing that he needs to repent!), ultimately he will not be able to fulfil his desires. The enemy is boastful, but his boasting is in vain. The Lord easily destroyed the Egyptian army.
