About this episode

Title: OT 13 Moses Returns to Egypt – Plagues and Miracles Text: Exodus 7-13 Supplemental Text: The Third Thousand Years chapter 12 BYU Lecture 18: At the age of 80, Moses crosses the desert back into Egypt. He and his brother Aaron meet with the leaders of Israel with the message from God – liberation! Moses demonstrates his authority from God by displaying the miracles of the staff and leprous hand, just as Jehovah had done with Moses on Mount Sinai. The demand for liberation is made to Pharoah, who mocks it and in spite, increases the burdens of the Israelites. The ten plagues commence – water to blood, frogs, lice, death of cattle, boils, hail, locusts, darkness and finally the slaying of the first-born. Each plague is reviewed. The modern feast of the Passover is explained by a Jewish guest who is a convert to the church (unfortunately, the audio is very difficult to hear as the discussion came from the classroom floor and not from the microphone. If you have access to closed caption it is easier to follow).
