Shemot/Exodus 6:3-9:35 “Let The Plagues Begin”

 Aaron threw down his staff and it turned into a snake!  The Egyptian magicians threw their rod down and they also turned into snakes.  Aaron’s rod swallowed the snakes.  Pharaoh was not impressed.

 Moses and Aaron obeyed God and struck the water.  The water turned to blood and the fish that were in the Nile died.  The magicians of Egypt did the same.

 Punished with many frogs.  The magicians did the same with their secret arts.  The LORD removed the frogs and they died.  The Egyptians piled them in heaps.  Pharaoh did not keep his promise.

 Moses struck the dust of the earth, that it would become lice.  There were lice on man and beast.  The Egyptian magicians tried to recreate this plague but could not!

 Next the LORD sent a great swarm of flies into Egypt.  There were no flies where the Jewish people lived.  Pharaoh said they could only go a short distance.  The LORD remove the swarms of flies.  Pharaoh changed his mind.

 Pharaoh was warned that many of their animals would get sick and die.  Moses also told Pharaoh that the Jewish animals would not die.  Moses left Pharaoh and the next day many of the animals of Egypt died.  But the heart of Pharaoh was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

 Boils broke out on man and beast in all of Egypt.  Boils are large and painful sores on a person’s skin.  It would really hurt!  Yet Pharaoh was stubborn and would not listen to Moses and Aaron.

 The hail struck the animals in the fields and the crops and trees.  They were killed and destroyed.  Where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.  Pharaoh saw that the storm ended he changed his mind and would not let the sons of Israel go.

 God promised a special promised land.  They thought they could keep God from keeping his promises.  No person, or king or even the Evil One can stop God from keeping his promises.

 Pharaoh promised then lied and changed his mind.  He hates you just like Pharaoh hated the Jewish people.  The Evil One wants to keep you down.  He wants the very worst for you.

 Yeshua wants the very best and provides us freedom from the Evil One.  He defeated the Evil One by His Death and Resurrection.

 Makat (Ma-cat) – “Plague”

 God gave Pharaoh warnings concerning the plagues.  Pharaoh was stubborn and would not let Israel go.  God keeps His Promises, both to Israel and us!
