Ummm....the problem with this is that Moses did not part the Red Sea. That was a translation that's been fixed in recent years. The text actually reads, "The Sea of Reeds." A swamp, basically.

And if it still says Red Sea and is in the NIV, odds are there will be an annotation that says, "or Sea of Reeds."
When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28
