Moses was chosen by God to lead the Israelites out of Egypt.
No generation of people has seen the direct mighty Hand of God at work more than this one.
They witnessed 10 plagues that were sent upon the Egyptians to help set them free. Those plagues weren’t only to help set them free, but to display the awesome power of God also.
One by one they witnessed them.
The Plague of turning the Nile to blood.
The Plague of Frogs.
The Plague of Gnats.
The Plague of Flies.
The Plague of Livestock dying. Yet not the Israelites livestock.
The Plague of Boils.
The Plague of Hail.
The Plague of Locust.
The Plague of Darkness.
The Plague of the Firstborn.
The Plagues were a strong judgment on a nation that had enslaved and suppressed God’s chosen people. Not only were the judgments awesome in their severity, but just to make sure there was no mistake, the Israelites were warned and spared of the judgments. This way, no one could pass it off by unfortunate circumstances.
Were the plagues bad timing for the Egyptians? No, they came right after God told Moses to tell them they were coming if they didn’t let the His people go.
Did this generation of people (Israelites) as a whole, straighten up and live unwavering from this day forward?
Let’s discuss more on this tomorrow.
