Weekly Bible Study The Exodus Story Part VII

Exodus Chapters 9-11 The Final Five Plagues Against Egypt

This week we'll learn about the murrain among the cattle of Egypt, the boils and the blain (and who was left standing and who was not), and God's warning to Pharaoh that this contest could escalate into a life an death struggle.

We'll look at how and when God "raised up" Pharaoh for judgment, hail and locusts and the nature of lightning, when "all" doesn't mean every single one, (which is almost always), and Exodus versus modern claims about the "worst weather ever!"

We'll follow the hardening of Pharaoh's heart and the diminishing of his court, his supposed concern "for the children," God's negotiating tactics, Pharaoh's death threat and God's answer, the mixed multitude, and just how long the plagues against Egypt might have lasted.
