You will hear how the plagues of frogs, lice or gnats, scarab beetles (or flies), livestock death, and boils confronted what people trusted for fertility, worship, and health. It also covers the storm of hail and fire, the locusts that ruined what was left, and the darkness that defeated Ra, the sun god. Finally, it builds to the death of the firstborn and why Pharaoh is presented as the last “god” standing in Egypt’s worldview. If you are new to the Bible, this is a clear way to see how God challenged false sources of security and called Pharaoh to let God’s people go. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
