Different people can take different things from such biblical events, symbolically and literally. And one of them, which is actually revealed in The Bible, is "baptism."
"I don't want you to forget, dear brothers and sisters, what happened to our ancestors in the wilderness long ago. God guided all of them by sending a cloud that moved along ahead of them, and He brought them all safely through the waters of the sea on dry ground. As followers of Moses, THEY WERE ALL BAPTIZED in the cloud and the sea." (I Cor.10:1-2 NLT New Living Translation)
The King James Version of the Scriptures pictures it [baptism] as one of the "three" steps in "the plan of God's Salvation":
"...Moses said unto the people, FEAR YE NOT, stand still, and SEE THE SALVATION of the LORD, which HE WILL SHEW TO YOU TO DAY... The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace." (Ex.14:13-14 KJV).
"...[step 1]: REPENT, and [step 2]: BE BAPTIZED every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins [the Almighty Creator LORD God of the Old Testament - see John 1:3; '...the miraculous Rock that traveled with them, and that Rock was Christ.' - I Cor.10:4] , and [step 3]: YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST [Spirit]... even as many as the LORD our God shall call..." (Acts 2:38-39 KJV)
The liberation of the Israelites [Abraham's children] from Egypt is clearly revealed in the Bible to have been "deliberately orchestrated" by God, purposefully stepping into the affairs of men for the phased establishment of His covenant with Faithful Abraham's descendants, as He promised [Gen.15:13-14]... as well as the beginnings of the compilation of His Written Word, which He gave to Moses "for His servants, in these last days" [see Acts 7:38].
The crossing of the Red Sea pictures a phase of God's Salvation. Trusting in God to redeem mankind from his bondage [slavery] to the ways of Satan and his demons [Pharaoh and his armies]... and certain death [the wages of sin; the penalty for doing the works of Satan, pictured by Egyptian slavery]:
"...I AM the LORD thy God [Jesus Christ], which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt [sin], out of the house of bondage [slavery to sin]. Thou shalt have no other gods before Me" (Ex.20:2-3 KJV)
