The Ten Plagues – Part III

       

 

The Ten Plagues – Part III 

Read Exodus 18:1, 10-11  The ten plagues served to show that Jehovah was greater than all the Egyptian gods.  Jehovah was the only true God. 

VI. The Sixth Plague – Boils (Exodus 9:8-12

  • Moses, not Aaron, was to throw the ashes (soot) into the air.

  • Painful boils were even on their feet so that the magicians could not stand!  Years later God warned Israel about painful results of not obeying Him. (Deuteronomy 28:25-29)

  • This plague was against: Imhotep – god of medicine, Serapis – god of healing, as well as Setchmet and Hike.  These gods were not able to protect Egyptians nor heal them.

VII. The Seventh Plague – Hail (Exodus 9:13-35

  • Thunder, lightning, and hail were very rare in Egypt.  Since the flax and barley were destroyed, it possibly happened in January.

  • This was an insult against several deities:  Nut – sky goddess, who was supposed to protect the land from destruction, Shu – wind god, and Tefnut – moisture deity

  • Pharaoh – “This time” (Verse 27) He had sinned in response to all the plagues!  Purpose:  “You may know the earth is the Lord’s.” (Verse 29)  Note: Romans 9:17 and Psalms 24:1

VIII. The Eighth Plague – Locusts (Exodus 10:1-20
  • Locusts could destroy a field of crops in minutes.

  • What the hail had left, the locusts destroyed.

  • This plague was an attack on several Egyptian deities:       Senehem – locust-headed god, Nepri – god of grain,        Thermuthis – goddess of fertility and harvest, Seth – a god of crops,         Ermutel – goddess of crops

  • The plague was also to remind Israel of who Jehovah was. (Verse 2)  (Psalms 78:5-7)

Invitation: 

This account reminds us that when God judges, He does a thorough job.  It’s a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.             (Hebrews 10:31
