Christ in Exodus Lesson 7: The First Nine Plagues

Even after witnessing the incredible miracle of Aaron's rod/serpent swallowing the rod/serpents of Egypt's wise men, magicians, and sorcerers, Pharaoh did not change his mind about God or His command to let the Hebrew slaves leave Egypt. Tragically, his sinful pride would bring great sorrow to himself, his people, and his land. It was time for Almighty God to supernaturally intervene in Egypt's history to make Himself known to her. In this lesson, we discuss God's first nine plague-judgments on Egypt: (1) water-to-blood, (2) massive frog invasion, (3) dust-to-lice, (4) swarms of flies, (5) a grievous disease on Egypt's livestock, (6) boils on men and beasts, (7) hail and fire, (8) locusts, and (9) a three-day darkness. A primary purpose for the plagues was divine judgment on Egypt's false "gods". Although the Egyptians were taught a strong spiritual lesson by the True God, the real beneficiaries of the plague-lessons were the Israelites. Through them, the Lord demonstrated He is the God of creation!
