In Exodus 10:21–29, God author a plague of deep, oppressive darkness over Egypt—three days without light, movement, or relief. Yet in the homes of Israel, there was light.

If any Egyptian who feared the word of the Lord and brought servants and livestock under shelter would be spared. The respon...  Read More

In Exodus 9:8–12, God commands Moses and Aaron to throw soot from a kiln into the air before Pharaoh. The soot becomes fine dust that spreads across Egypt, erupting into painful boils on people and animals alike. The plague is so severe that Egypt’s magicians—once confident imitators of God’s signs—are incapacitated and unable to stand before Moses. What once looked like spiritual parity is now un...  Read More

In the fifth plague, God struck Egypt’s livestock with a devastating disease—animals that represented wealth, security, and survival.

Though Pharaoh’s magicians managed to imitate the s...  Read More

Moses and Aaron weren’t young men chasing a new adventure—at 80 and 83, they were walking into a most intimidating situation because God told them to go. With Pharaoh demanding proof of their calling, Aaron threw down his staff and it became a serpent. It was a jaw-dropping moment… until Egypt’s magicians followed suit. For a split second, it looked like evil could “match” what God had done; but t...  Read More

When God sent Moses and Aaron back to Pharaoh, He made the assignment plain even if the path wouldn’t be easy. Moses would stand as God’s chosen leader; Aaron would serve as his mouth—so the message of the I AM would be heard. God promised a larger story (deliverance and His glory among the nations), yet He still required their obedience in the small step right in front of them: “You tell them.” M...  Read More
