Dive into learning about the plagues of Egypt with Frances Hogan in this episode. After delving into the eighth and ninth plagues, Hogan provides a detailed analysis of each plague.

Hogan meticulously unpacks the significance of all ten plagues, drawing parallels to Christ's promised return as prophesied in the book of Revelation. Just as the plagues signaled a divine visitation in ancient Egypt, the anticipation of Christ's second coming resonates throughout history. The tenth plague, amidst its severity, carries a message of redemption. Hogan emphasizes its pivotal role in God's redemptive plan, inviting humanity to embrace salvation. But why the plagues? Why such a dramatic display of divine power and judgment? These questions linger as Hogan guides listeners through the truths embedded within the narratives of the book of Exodus.
