Isaiah 51:10

The pagans credited their gods with drying up a sea of material chaos and creating the world in prehistory. Isaiah pointed to God drying up the Red Sea in the historical Exodus as evidence that He could redeem His people again.

". . . the Old Testament insists on setting the rock of history (actual event, actual testimony) under its theology." [Note: Motyer, p. 408.]

Isaiah frequently used the image of God making a way, pathway, or highway for His people so they could enter into the blessings that He had planned for them (cf. Isaiah 9:1; Isaiah 11:16; Isaiah 19:23; Isaiah 30:11; Isaiah 30:21; Isaiah 35:8; Isaiah 40:3; Isaiah 42:16; Isaiah 43:16; Isaiah 43:19; Isaiah 48:17; Isaiah 49:11; Isaiah 57:14; Isaiah 62:10). I wonder if this is the origin of the early Christian use of "the way" as a title for Christianity.
