Bloody Water and Frogs Everywhere (Exodus 7:14 - 8:15) Session 13

Pharaoh's heart is stubborn and he refuses to let the Israelites go, so God begins to inflict the plagues He said He would on Pharaoh and Egypt. God starts at the heart of Egypt by turning the Nile River into a bloody sickening mess. God demonstrates His true power against the impotence and lack of power of the Egyptian false gods. Pharaoh continues to be stubborn leaving the Egyptian people to fend for themselves by digging wells for fresh water. The second plague God sends on Egypt is an infliction of frogs so many in number that they invade the households and even the pots of the people. The God of Israel is showing that He is the one God Almighty, that is over all of nature and life. God is demonstrating in every step of the way that He is the One that is in charge. These plagues are not natural events, they are clearly miraculous signs of God's judgment.   Are there parallels in this section between Moses and Jesus?Are these plagues a direct assault on the power of Pharaoh?Does God contend for His people today?Why could the Egyptian magicians replicate some of the events but not reverse them? Is Pharaoh sincere when he finally acknowledges God?Support the showThank you for listening!!  Please give us a five-star rating to help your podcast provider's algorithm spread RTTB among their listeners. You can find free study and leader resources at the following link - Resource Page - Reasoning Through the BiblePlease prayerfully consider supporting RTTB to help us to continue providing content and free resources.
